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.OutdraftPit 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.
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.OutdesignAs 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.
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.
OutcoachAs 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.
Manage Your LeagueGreats 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.Single and Multi-PlayerWith 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 10 game season to be played along with a playoff tournament and Championship game at the end.

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'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.
