About Greats of the Gridiron

Greats of the Gridiron is a football simulation experience unlike any other where you need to Outdraft, Outdesign, and Outcoach other coaches from around the world if you want to win the coveted Gridiron Bowl and stake your claim to Greatness.

Outdraft


Pit your abilities and eye for scouting talent and strategically build your team from a pre-generated list of players, in real-time, as General Manager against other savvy coaches within your league or the AI teams.

But don’t mismanage your salary cap or you may not be able to keep your stud players. However, you can always trade players during the draft, season or offseason to make cap room – like that aging QB set for retirement… so go ahead and pull off a blockbuster trade! It’s your team to do as you wish… Just remember, if your team is getting passed all over – you may have wanted to draft that lockdown CB instead of the stud OL you coveted.

Outdesign


As Offensive and Defensive Coordinator, you create plays down to the finest of details. Pull your tackles on a sweep or have your QB pump fake to get the WR open.

Then head over to the practice field and check your plays against your offense or defense, make adjustments and perfect your playbook.

Use any of the pre-generated templates for some basic formations and then customize them any way you want to implement your offensive or defensive philosophy.

Outcoach


As Head Coach, you determine when and where each play is called using the Play Call Acumen system. You determine the down, distance, score differential, and timing. You’ll also set the penalty/reward points depending on how that play does so that you don’t keep calling the same bad play over and over, as well as making sure you call the plays that are working well. You are in total control of the team.

Additionally, there will also be available comprehensive Game, Team and Player statistics and commentary, so that coaches can fine tune their teams during drafts and playmaking. These data will be fully exportable to delimited files so that they can then be imported into your favorite analysis software for real scrutiny.

Manage Your League


Greats of the Gridiron can be played in single game or league seasons managed by a League Commissioner. Each League Commissioner sets the rules for the league. These rules include player attribute point caps, game scheduling and numerous other options. The League Commissioner also runs the seasons and games, while coaches can sign on and watch their games (and other league games) being run.

Play Against Other Coaches


With more than a dozen teams in the default league, each with their own unique playbook, hundreds of game hours can be played in single player mode. Single player allows for a 17 game season to be played along with a playoff tournament and Championship game at the end.

Players can also form leagues with friends or coaches from around the world, online, to truly see where their drafting, design and coaching skills are and to try and win the glorious Gridiron Bowl and to see if they can truly be called a Great of the Gridiron. Using P2P connectivity, coaches can upload their teams and playbooks to a remote host for head-to-head action! Games are streamed to your favorite streaming service for the entire league to watch!

If you're ready to be considered one of the GREATS - wishlist today!

Just got the game and trying to figure all the features out. This is early access and one of the few things I see right out of the box is that you cannot create 32 team league but I am thinking that this may come later. Another is that you cannot take control of the draft and that it is only automated at this point, again, this may be fixed in later updates. I do love the total control of making plays and the decision making as far as management is concerned. As of yet we cannot choose plays for our team during games. hopefully that will change in later updates. This game has a very high potential and can't wait to see where it goes from here. So far so Good!

I've tried so hard to like this game, 5 hours total play time just trying to figure out what the hell i'm supposed to do. I've tried following tutorials on YouTube but this game is ridiculously complicated and if you're not an in depth expert on football then you are going to struggle big time. There should be an option, at the beginning, to generate a functioning playbook (including running and passing plays) that can be tweaked and edited, just something to get started with, but you have to create the playbook from scratch, from an overwhelming amount of options. I've come back to this game about four times since I downloaded it on release day and I just cannot get my head around it. Total waste of money for me because it is now going to be deleted for good, i'm done.

Playbook editor sometimes won't let me select a player, and it took me half an hour to figure out how to properly make the QB hand the ball off. Game also crashed twice out of nowhere. Looks interesting and promising but I'm not gonna touch it again until it's out of early access and fully released.

Abandoned and incomprehensible. I was drawn to the theory of designing your own plays and creating a gameplan for when to use them, but interface is just brutal. It starts right at the beginning too -- have to generate a league, then there appears to be no default playbook for you to edit, so I'm not sure what the other teams would be using. Everything is just difficult and the last message from the dev is over two years ago. Just trying to save the next hopeful person $25.

I'm so annoyed and yet so excited about this game. Number 1 - It looks amazing from the tactical strategy along with the 3d model games. I can see alot of effort has gone into this and without even playing it I can see it will be a great game based on whats already in the market in this genre. And number 2 - It wont load up, just gives me black screen so have had to refund it. I will be keeping an eye on the game as i think it has alot of potential. Was very confused how this game is yet to latch on lots of other people with positive reviews because of how good it looks as i'm assuming i may just be one of a few experiencing technical problems. But will keep an eye on game maybe purchase in future and see if issue resolved.
