• Select with the Left Mouse Button.

The game objective is the same as traditional football: move the ball 10 yards in 4 turns to keep the ball and try to score a touchdown.

Tips to help you score more points

Here are some tips to help you improve your performance:

• Prioritize upgrading your training center and recovery area to enhance player performance and reduce injuries.
• Use a West Coast offense: Focus on passing, especially slants, and check down to your RB if receivers are covered.
• After touchdowns, consider two-point conversions if your RB runs a "Bubble" route (riskier but rewarding).
• Maintain player morale by handling management events effectively. This impacts the team's overall performance.
• Use Coaching Credits wisely: Use them on quality free agents or hire coordinators like Talent Spotter to find potential players.
