Game Details for users new to PSF
- PSF started out as a simulation engine, developed for a Master's project and I then worked with Coach Tom Landry on adding more details and accuracy.
- With great community input, PSF grew to include Career/Franchise options, and every year, positive feedback helps me fill up tasks to improve every aspect of the game, whether it's the quick simulations, watching games live, or enhancing season or career play!
- The animation doesn't affect the results (it merely reflects the engine's results), so you get the same realistic results whether you sim, watch, or coach a game, but now gives even better stats and results!
- Rather than calling plays from someone else's canned plays, PSF lets you design your offensive or defensive call each play, similar to the old board games!
- Both Casual and Advanced modes are great fun!
- Exhibition, Single Season, and Career modes! Single season supports up to 12 conferences and 131 teams!

loved it
Fun
Very cool, accessible, customisable, low-performance impact football game. Highly recommendable for anyone who fancies platformer football.
Very good simulation of the ins and outs of Professional Football.
Bottom line the playbooks are as basic as the graphics. I choose expert mode but you have a limited number of formations and basic options for your plays....medium pass is the same exact route every single time so is the short pass and the long pass. You have no options to scroll through and call another play. Just basic run left, run right, short pass, etc. Bad graphics bad execution. I would avoid this game if you want an in depth immersive experience where YOU are in control of your playbooks and calling different plays.
I've been playing statistical sports board games since 1972 and computer statistical games since the early 1990s. (I was also game reviewer for the late, lamented Replay Sports Review in the 1990s). And I will say this without fear of contradiction: PRO STRATEGY FOOTBALL IS THE MOST VERSATILE SPORTS SIMULATION GAME I HAVE ***EVER*** PLAYED. The first thing you do after buying the game is go out on the Web and get the player mods; you can add real-life players from the 1940s to the 2020s (including the short-lived competitor leagues such as the USFL). You can also download announcer mods to have real-life announcers do audio play-by-play (admittedly basic). Install the season(s) and announcer(s) you want, and then GO CRAZY. Manage the team top to bottom. OR just call the plays. OR have the program run a full season automatically, week-by-week or the whole season at one shot. Call the plays for three or four teams a week and have the AI run the rest of the games. Watch FULL animated games played by the AI, view the animated highlights, or just read the text play-by-play (which you can save as a text file). Edit teams, edit schedules, edit players, edit uniforms, edit the goalposts…
