The clubs

The league starts with 32 fictional clubs, or you can pick your own size. Every club has its own city, name, colors, emblem, uniforms and stadium, plus a mascot and game-day traditions of its own.

You can edit any of them, from the name to the colors, and save one club or the whole league as a file to bring back in later.

A football league simulator that keeps score

Every game counts, whether you coach it or simulate it, and the results go into the standings, the playoffs and the league's records. If you'd rather start from scratch, the club generator works as a football league generator too. It can make a whole league of fictional teams and download them in one file.

Where players come from

Prospects come out of made-up college programs, each with its own name, colors and look. You'll run into them while you're scouting and on draft night.

Sideline Legacy combine and pro day results for football prospects from made-up schools such as Harberg A&M, Rathhurst Tech and Ostdale University, with each prospect's position and height.
