This game taught me a ton about football, as someone who started watching this year for the lions. Plays aren't chosen, but are a integral part of gameplay. Sign on seasoned elite players or level up players fresh out of collage with any level of potention, and hire coaches that bring the best out of your team. That plays like a real game, not a mobile one, and that's rare nowadays. Oh also trust the adaptive difficulty setting 🤙

Been playing for a long time. Game keeps up to date on current rules. Nice editing system. My biggest complaint is the dynamic play gets to hard to fast. Recommend playing on a different play setting. Second problem is building a good defense is next to impossible. I've had almost perfect set up and still the other team walks the ball down the field. Wish you had more picks in the draft as well at least 4. Still fun game worth the purchase price. Recommend highly.
