THIS IS NOT THE LATEST VERSION - GO CHECK OUT PSF 2026!
From a flexible installation package to a customizable ticker to wide open career play to a greatly improved AI, you asked for it, and you got it! And remember, with Steam's Remote Play Together, you can play your friends around the world! Playing against another person raises the intensity to a whole new level!
As always, the PSF goal is to put more power in your hands, and this year, that starts with the game installation. You choose where to install the game and mods! But that’s not all …
Career Play now supports 1 to 16 conferences, and 2 to 140 teams!
You can now change the game’s coaches at any time, even during the game! Easily switch between taking over either team or watching the AI play both teams, or even just let the AI finish the current possession, the current quarter, or the rest of the game! If you’re watching a game, you can decide to step in and take over either team (or both!)
The new studio ticker expands on last year’s popular PSF Studio and now provides updates around the league! And you can customize it however you want – change the background and text colors, change the possession marker, decide which games to include, even decide how often you want it to update!
A big request has been most flexibility in tweaking the injuries and fatigue, and you can now do this! Raise or lower fatigue or injuries (or turn them off completely), and even turn off multi-game injuries if you want to limit injuries to only the current game!
No more losing veterans when they are cut! They’re now placed in a waiver pool and can be drafted in a later draft or even a future year! To enhance this, career play now has two separate roster adjustments and a new Waiver Draft!
Also, viewing the different drafts (Rookies, Free Agents, and Waivers) is streamlined this year! You can easily switch between each pools so you can see what players are available in all the pools!
Live Sims now let you pause on any screen, rather than just the animation!
New stats have been added, too – track rushes, passes, and catches of 20+ and 40+ yards, and you can now track how many fourth downs a team tried to convert in a season!
Single Season play now lets you export all active players, with positions and OVR (will be added to career soon!)
The editor has improved this year as well, with a new three-quarter length option, easier Team screen, and improved generated player uniforms (animation images)! Modders have created many image sets with all sleeves options!
Continuing with improving the user experience, you can now easily search and filter when trying to locate a league or a player, great for editing leagues or viewing player history!
Expanded rules now has more options and MANY more historic sets! And more overtime options!
And most importantly of all, the AI has been greatly improved this year, whether it's choosing draft picks, calling plays, or managing the clock! Of course, I have never, and never will, have a cheating AI! If the AI is tough to beat, that's a testament to all the users who sent me their detailed suggestions with play by play examples, and to hours of work and testing to get the AI better and better!

PSF 23 was a lot of fun, the introduction of "tv studio" mode was excellent, but PSF 24 is clearly a step up. There is now a new running ticker at the bottom of the screen showing other games in progress while you coach your team. It's just like watching a Sunday broadcast and really adds to the immersion level during game play. Example ?....It's week 16 you are coaching your 8 and 7 team desperately hanging on to the last playoff berth, you're up by 3 feeling nervous as you glance at the running ticker...oh no! the team with the tiebreaker edge over you was losing by 10 but is now tied in the 4th qtr. Really cool. This year's version has upgraded career mode features from PSF23, multiple rounds of drafting for waived players. better scouting ability for potential college draftees, and better detail on looking back at previous seasons. Also this year's search function for players and leagues as you create and run leagues makes things easier that the prior versions. Finally, as always this developer does everything within reason to address user concerns . Looking forward to many many hours of enjoyment with PSF 24. PS I am a member of the beta testing team, but I would have written the exact same review if I was not.
I can't recommend this Football game There is no Playoff Bracket, the excitement of watching which teams might make it doesn't exist. There are no Team Rankings in the stats. The TV Mode makes no sense, you can only see the ticker of the other games being simulated if you are playing or watching a game. No financials in game. Player Overall Ratings are sketchy. Developer is trying to make everybody happy and listening to the wrong people. The Year to Year priority of updates is questionable. It's a simple football game with average 2D graphics. I will do Madden 24 CPU vs CPU Franchise or Football Mogul 24 (CPU vs CPU) or even Draft Day Football 24 (CPU vs CPU) with the new and improved 2D Presentation improvements. Front Office Football 9 is also now released! All have what this game doesn't!
In terms of US Football historical sims, this is the best of the best. '24 has cleaner and prettier visuals, a deeper stat package, deeper career options, and a refined historical engine. And a massive college mod to come!
PLAY THIS NOT DRAFT DAY SPORTS
Thought this game would be realistic. Far from it. Was looking for a game that is more towards being GM/coach that requires contracts, extensions, free agency. This game has nothing that resembles real world GM. Wish I could get my money back.
I didn't know this game until Steam suggest it to me as a strategy games player. Turns out I'm also a really big fan of american football too, and I was long time looking for a game with a deep coaching experience. Not anymore. I'm having fun while studying offensive and defensive formations, using the mod with the all-times NFL teams. Great work, can't recommend enough.
This jewel of a game has allowed me to create and get lost in my own fictional football universe. From custom league creation, to team creation, to rules selection, it has become my ultimate creative sandbox. Folks who love fictional play should absolutely give PSF 2024 a try.

Fun game for tactics and football lovers. Many options and settings for an individual gaming experience - almost too many. I'm looking forward to all the mods for this version. The price tag probably scares off a lot of people, but I personally prefer to support a motivated solo dev rather than feed the big publishers. Also, as far as I know, there is no comparable football game.
After a gameplay and read more about custom leagues you still can't have more then the current league has. I can't give this game a good review yet. This is still not as good as the 2023 version. This is basically an upgrade not a new game. It has some new features but the new features are limited to me.
Not bad. Reminds me of a table top football game I played years ago. Ordered new updated teams every year from 1970 to 1981. Friends played seasons. Kept stats. Had play offs and super bowl. Still in the learning process here and just playing casual. Worth the money. Even had a "bad" officiating game. imho. Also had a game where I ran out of time at the opponents 1 yard line and lost. This game will definitely challenge your football IQ. UPDATE: A good solid game with so many options. wondering if there is a first year of NFL where you make your team the way it was when pro football first began and develop your team as the league grows from its first year.
