Manage your roster and salary cap
Compare the abilities, future prospects, contracts, and mood of each player and compose the starting lineup and bench. We make decisions about contract renewal and release while considering the total salary and salary cap.
Make GM decisions in each phase of the season
Progress through preseason, regular season, playoffs, draft, re-signing, and free agency. Advance the period in the Play menu and review the organization at each milestone.
Dig into leagues and statistics to your liking
You can create leagues of real age, fictional players, cross-age, and custom leagues. Track long-term management results using detailed player/team statistics, graphs, and history.
