Gridiron Masters '98

If you like feeling what Mike Tomlin felt and having constant winning or .500 seasons yet never winning "the big one" this game is for you. Jokes aside: There are of course some things I would love for the game to add but considering it literally just came out for what we have now it's really good, it combines college football and pro football into one and that's always something I wanted in a game, just a fun and simple management game where you simulate week-by-week drafting, trading, recruiting, etc. Players and then watching how it all plays out.

The UI visuals are top tier. The game is in its early stages but the vison is there. Ive followed the development for a few years now and this dev is very responsive to feed back. I have high confidence that this game will be great once its completed.

while this game is far from finished (it just released in early access 2 days ago as of writing this), the foundation it's laying for the future is INCREDIBLE. if you're at all interested in this game from the trailer and store page, i'd recommend buying it while it's $10 because i would be shocked if a game with this level of presentation and (hopefully) depth stayed $10 forever. as of right now, the gameplay is pretty bare bones. however, i expect the game to be WAY more fleshed out in the near future as there are a lot of menus & mechanics shown in the game that we just don't have access to yet due to it being VERY early access. the future is very bright!

Game is GOATED if you love Football

This game is not a sports management sim similar to football manager nor a stick still game like Madden. It's a game to let you experience the 90s. It's a throwback machine. The dev has been squashing bugs. Updating classing. Adding new stats and league history. The roadmap posted in the discord shows a great view of the future including game day match viewing like FM.

I'm over five hours in and idk hitting sim game just feels like a shot in the dark if your gonna win or lose. No choices I make seem to matter, abilities don't seem to matter, coaching staff doesn't seem to matter. It just feels random and that just kills it for me. I want to feel like the choice I make are doing something and that's just not the case. Just becomes a mouse clicking experience after awhile.

It is a college game that has a pro football layer to it, which is fine. There are some questionable choices as far as the playoffs and offseason goes, but that is because if you play the "professional" level of football on the platform, you are using college football style bracket playoffs, scouting, and offseason moves. It undermines it if you are looking to play the "pro" level of football, but would work fine on for the "college" level for sure. Needs a lot of ironing out, but I am sure this will improve nicely.

This has a lot of potential.

Such a great concept! The game is really coming along nicely. It shows a lot of potential and considering the care and effort the developer is putting into the project, I have no doubt that the game is going to continue getting better!

Fun game the only thing for me is that generating audio is stuck at 0% even left it on overnight to see if it would DL, still stuck at 0% and unable to advance any further until the generation is complete.
