My question is does the game keep track of career leaders, career records, single game records, etc...?

The short version is that you can see nearly everything that FOF2K4 provides, with the exception of single-game records, for some reason. (or maybe I just can't find them...). Load times of the long-term stats archive seem to be in the same general ballpark as FOF2K4. (One may be faster than the other, but both take a while, which one would expect with a league with a good bit of history.)

It keeps track of:

All single-season performances, record or not: I just loaded up an old test career that was simmed out to 2019. If I load up single-season passing performances, and choose not to filter out non-qualifiers, I can see all 8,517 single-season performances in the league's history, and can click on any player card. If I want to see a single-season record, I can sort on any category. Stats are kept in thiis way for passing, rushing, receiving, blocking, punting, kicking, returns, and defensive stats.

All career performances, record or not: Similar to the above, all 3,287 guys who threw a pass in that league's history can be looked at, if you so choose. Heck, if you want, you could look at a player card of any of the 22,402 guys who have any defensive stat in this league's history.

Any season's individual stats, record or not: The "Yearly Archive" allows you to filter by a certain season. In other words, if I want to see the entire list of league interception leaders from 2012, I can filter on "Defensive Turnovers" and "2012," and sort on the "Int" column, which tells me that Tommie Goldberg of Bowling Green led all of football with 9 INT's in 2012. Clicking on Goldberg's player card tells me that he was a 3-time All-Conference and 1-time All-America performer, and a 3-year starter at BG.

Any season's awards: The "Award Achive" is quite similar to the one in TCY: I can pick a season and either national or conference awards, and it pulls all of them up. An improvement from TCY is that all player cards are clickable.

All performances from your team: There is also a "Team Archive," which allows access to season, career, team performance an rankings archives. A pretty neat screen is the "Leaders Archive":



Also good is the rank archive:



As you can see, there's also a "Bowl Archive." as you might suspect, this lists the teams involved, score, winner, and game MVP of every bowl game, and can be filtered by year and/or Bowl, so you can sort to see, for example, all the Bowl Games from 2014, or the outcome of every Peach Bowl.

Hope that helps.
