About this game
Take over a professional American football team, in this single-player football management simulator. As both general manager and head coach, build a football dynasty that will last for decades to come. Trade, draft, sign free agents, and coach your way into the hall of fame! Do you have what it takes to become a football legend?
A Football Sandbox
Football Legend drops you into a realistically modeled football universe. In this universe, you are head coach and general manager of a football team. You have total control over roster, personnel, and play calling duties. Compete with the other AI coaches and try to become the greatest of all time.
Build Your Roster
Acquire a talented roster, with the very same methods the pros use:
Draft future stars in a pro-style, seven round draft
Negotiate contracts with players using an extensive real-world contract system
Craft trades that can include multiple players and/or draft picks
Deal with the constant constraint of staying under the salary cap
Apply a franchise tag to a player, to force keeping a player for one more year
Craft Your On-Field Strategy
You have absolute control your on-field strategy. Take an unprecedented level of control over your team, with tools such as:
A full-blown, custom play creation editor. Design the right plays to leverage your strengths, and hide your weaknesses.
A custom game plan editor. Set up exactly which plays you want to run, for every situation.
A personnel package designer. Put your players into exactly the role they are suited for.
A depth chart editor. Set your starters, and decide who your backups and replacements will be.
A Detailed Football Experience
Football Legend strives to realistically model what it is like to be a part of a professional football league, including features such as:
A yearly all star game. See if any of your players were voted in by the fans
Realistic player retirements. Some players may retire early due to a severe injury, while some players may have a prime that extends well into their late 30's.
Yearly hall of fame inductees
Realistic player rating progression system. Some players will never develop. Some will have a quick peak and rapidly decline. Some will have long primes that last a decade.
A Deep Ocean of Stats
If stats are your thing, then you have found the right game! Football Legend features extensive stat-tracking for players, teams, and coaches. There is never a shortage of statistics at your fingertips. You have instant access to:
Season and career stats for any player, current or retired
Team stats
League leaders
Box scores for any game, past or present
All-time stat leaderboards, for players and coaches
The Road To Football Glory
Football Legend was released in November 2023 and is still in active development and is fully supported.

Update Notes for Nov 12, Part 2, v0.3.3
This small update addresses a few outstanding bugs and includes a minor enhancement: League Editor: Fixed an issue where you were unable to add additional years to a player's contract. Coach Promotion: Resolved a problem where a coach's new position wasn't correctly reflected in their contract after being promoted to a different role. Personnel Packages: Corrected a flaw where the AI would include two duplicate offensive linemen in the "Field Goal Kick" formation on the Personnel Packages screen. Additionally, a small enhancement has been made to the contract negotiation dialogue for both players and coaches. There are now many more varied message options, so the dialogue will feel less repetitive.Read full article on Community Announcements (Beef)Patch NotesOfficial

The affected fields were for range stats, for example, field goal kicking from 40+ yds. - Fixed an issue on the Trade screen where your team's cap space was not being updated accurately after completing a trade. Also, placed a limit on how many players and draft picks can be included in one trade. - Fixed an issue in the AI trade offer logic, where in certain conditions a team would end up trading for the same player twice in one trade. This would result in the player appearing on the roster twice. - Fixed bugs in how stats were being stored for players and coaches that were inducted into the Hall of Fame. This was sometimes causing issues displaying their career stats. - Fixed issues displaying how many years of experience a player has.

A small hotfix to a couple of issues reported by the community: - Enhanced the logic for determining if a team offers you a contract extension or not. Teams are now far more likely to reward you with an extension if you perform well. - Fixed issues on the "Action Required" modal, where the modal would sometimes be empty, and not allow you to see the notification.Read full article on Community Announcements (Beef)
