Clarity on Simulation League Function

[12states]

Hey Community,

I hope you are all well.

I was wondering if any of you could offer clarity on how the Simulation League will function. As it stands, the League breaks down into several roles that will provide a myriad of responsibilities both on and off the field. From my understanding, the League will function digitally with games being played out via CPU vs CPU.

Can anyone confirm if that is true or not? In addition to that question, how would Coach and Team Owner/Athletic Director roles function if everything is to be based digitally and not within the game itself? Furthermore, will there be a single league or a range of miniature leagues within the 'Simulation League' bracket?

If anyone could offer any clarity on the matter that would be very much appreciated. I am particularly interested in the Team Owner/Athletic Director role and would love to carve out initial conversations regarding the League as I believe it is the competitive differentiator needed in Football Simulation Games - particularly with other studios failing to create anything of substance, with regards to management, in the last decade.

Thanks!

You are correct, games will be simulated as CPU vs CPU and broadcast on a live streaming service (Twitch, YouTube).

More information on Coach/Athletic Director. This is taken from a Patreon post from this past weekend. We're fleshing out the league still.

User Type: Coach

- Coaches will register on the MaxFootballSim site and set the same similar biography items as a player.
- Coaches will need to be “hired” by an Athletic Director (owner) of a College Team or if there are no offers or the balance of Coaches and Athletic Directors are not aligned, the Commissioners of the League will give the Coach a couple of teams to select from.
- The Coach will be responsible for assembling their roster by offering scholarships to users that have a player-role.
- Coaches will be responsible for the following in-game options:
o Designing plays for their team with the in-game Play Designer
o Team strategy – depth chart decisions, pass/run %, setting audibles, situational play calling, etc.
- Because of the limited availability, Coaches would be a paid subscription per season but I think the first couple of seasons would be free.

User Type: Athletic Director
- Athletic Director will be the “Owner” of the College Team.
- AD’s will be responsible for team branding – uniforms, logo, team name, nickname, etc.
- The AD can either “hire” a Coach or the AD can assume the Coach role as well.
- Again because of the limited availability, this would be a subscription per season
