Original release notes

CAREER MODE IS HERE

Take one franchise and run it for as long as you can keep it winning.

Build a roster that matters
Every player now has ratings that shape how your team actually performs — not just on the field, but in the standings. Prospects develop. Veterans peak, then decline. The lineup you build is the team you get.

The Draft
A brand new draft screen. Three rounds, a full prospect board, scouting grades on every name. Finish lower, pick earlier — but the board is the same for everyone, so the pick you make is the pick that counts.

Bench and fatigue
Carry a real bench. Players tire across the season, and rotating them is now part of managing a long year rather than an afterthought.

Run the front office
Earn from wins, from your stands, from a fanbase that grows or shrinks with your results. Spend it on facilities that pay off over seasons. Winning funds the next roster; losing costs you twice.

End of season
Watch retirements as they happen, see who leaves the league, then head into the offseason knowing exactly what you need.

Player cards
A dedicated screen for every player — ratings, position, potential, and how far they've come.
