Football Legend - Dev Update - October 2023

We are thrilled to announce the upcoming release of our highly-anticipated football management simulator game, Football Legend. We are set to hit Steam next month, November 2023! Get ready to step into the shoes of a pro football manager and take control of your dream team on the path to glory. [h2]What Is Football Legend?[/h2] Football Legend is THE football management simulator you've been waiting for. It offers an immersive and realistic football management experience, combining strategy, tactics, and the thrill of competing to dominate the league. You'll have the power to shape your team, make crucial decisions, and lead them to victory on the gridiron. [h2]What Have We Been Working On?[/h2] Soon after our last dev update, we initiated a closed beta test, and we're excited to report that it was an overwhelming success. Thanks to the invaluable feedback from our beloved testers, we made significant strides in our game's development. We tackled numerous bugs, fine-tuned the functionality of various screens, introduced additional "help" features and tooltips, and achieved substantial improvements in overall game stability. In addition to addressing feedback from the beta test, we were hard at work crafting features we are extremely proud of. Here are some details: [h2]Overtime Customization[/h2] When a game is tied at the end of the 4th quarter, games will now go into overtime. There is nothing more exciting than an overtime nail-biter, and we are happy to announce full overtime support. Now, you have the power to decide how overtime works in your league. You can choose to have no overtime at all and call it a tie. You can implement sudden-death overtime, or ensure each team gets an opportunity at possession. Not only that, you can set the duration of overtime to 5, 10, or 15 minutes.

We're unlocking limitless potential for your football universe. You now have the ability to import entirely custom leagues. Import custom teams, players, coaches, divisions, and conferences. Upload custom team logos and player images. Create a football world of your own making, modeling it after real-life leagues or letting your imagination run wild in a fantasy universe. [h2]Export Custom Leagues[/h2] The flip side of being able to import custom leagues, is being to export them. This innovative feature allows you to take a snapshot of your league at any given point in time, and export it in a format that can be used as a custom league. Share your league online with others to use or create branching parallel universes, and watch as your football universe unfolds in unique ways. Your league is exported as simple CSV files, allowing you to edit the files in a spreadsheet application or text editor. This makes it easy for mod-pack designers to edit custom leagues.

You can now set a third-down back to optimize your chances of converting those critical third and long situations. Get your best receiving back in there and get that conversion. On the flip side, when facing critical short-yardage situations, you can now set a short-yardage, power back. Send your biggest and baddest runner straight up the middle to gain those valuable yards.

Being able to quickly hop around from screen to screen is critical for this type of game. We're excited to introduce a brand-new feature: hotkeys. Easily navigate to any screen, whether it's your team's roster, the league standings, or the depth chart, with just a few simple keyboard shortcuts. It's all about making your management experience smoother and more efficient. [h1]Coming Next Month! November 2023![/h1] The pro football season is in full-swing. We simply cannot wait for Football Legend's release, so that you can get your season underway too! Stay tuned for an announcement on an exact release date. We are in the final stages of getting all of our ducks in a row with Steam, and will let everyone know when we have a hard-set date. Thank you for your support!
