Football Simulator

Football Simulator is a physics-driven American football game where you break tackles, juggle tipped passes and dive for interceptions to lead your team to victory. It supports local multiplayer and an in-depth modding system for rosters, jerseys, teams, players and more.

Modes and multiplayer

You can play local multiplayer. Online multiplayer is in development, with planned Quick Match and Exhibition modes, custom online leagues and a 22-player, single-position mode where each player controls one position. Planned online leagues include ranked matches, leaderboards, trades, injuries, a commissioner, team and player stats, exhibition matches, multiplayer practice and a sports complex where league coaches can meet. Local co-op friends can join you online.

Other planned modes include Practice, Challenges and a full-motion VR mode, which is currently 50% complete.

RPG mode

In RPG Mode, you complete player quests and coach challenges to improve or boost your player's stats and increase your team's league value, making trades easier as you build your preferred team. Playing unlocks further quests and access to new free-agent talent, as well as appearances on Monday Morning QB TV shows and viral videos. You play to win the league championship, then negotiate contracts, take part in the off-season talk show circuit and prepare for the draft. Press conferences are interactive.

Modding and presentation

The game includes modding for rosters, jerseys, teams and players, among other content. Planned presentation features include interactive cutscenes featuring players, coaches and fans. Examples include touchdown dances, players high-fiving fans, dunking on the crossbar, an ambulance responding to an injury, and player reactions to being benched, substituting due to fatigue or an altercation with a fan. During breaks between plays or TV timeouts, you can wander around the stadium and interact with fans; away players may get into trouble if the crowd is rowdy.

Planned art and animation work includes more animations, improved hand animation, better models for sideline characters, more facial animations and alternate jersey support. A physics-based level-of-detail system for the crowd is also planned to support smooth movement through it.
