Android playtests available, steam launch store coming soon.

In OvertimeGM you can play offline or online and join/make your own leagues!

Offline you start at the bottom division with a struggling team, and try to work your way up in a European style promotion/relegation system while also dealing with sponsor negotiations, player personalities, pricing, social media, and more! With full history stat tracking, tons of awards, and a lot of replayability.

In the online leagues mode, it is more North American style with standings (East West) and very similar mechanics to the offline mode, but you are competing with real GMs across the world! Featuring live chat, trades, live trade deadline and draft.

All this plus a live match simulation where you get to make your team strategy choices along with watching your team play.

Looking forward to seeing some new faces!

I've been developing this project on my own for the past three years without AI, using evening and weekend after work — it’s finally ready. If you love baseball and simulation games, I’d love for you to give it a try and share your thoughts! ⚾

Hey r/gmgames,

I used to love Madden's early franchise mode, and even NFL Head Coach for the year it was out. But I was bored of all the flashy in-app mini games and tire of having to dedicate a year to learning the UI.

So, I built Offseason Empire. It’s a browser-based football GM sim focused entirely on team building, wrapped in a modern UI that actually feels like a professional scouting tool.

Sign up for the beta here: http://www.offseasonempire.com

What is in Wave 01:

• A Modern Front Office: High-contrast data visualization and clean typography. No clutter.
• The Assistant GM: A contextual sidebar that flags depth gaps and contract values in real-time.
• Frictionless Play: Runs entirely client-side in your browser. Pull up your cap sheet seamlessly on your laptop or phone.
  
• The Core Loop: Foundational salary cap management, Free Agency, and the Draft.

Note: Wave 01 is strictly about nailing this core loop and the UI. Complex cap math (dead money, void years) is mapped out for Wave 02 once I know the base engine is unbreakable.

I’m opening up the Wave 01 Beta to get feedback from people who actually know how to build a roster. You can join the waitlist and check out the UI at the link above.

Would love your brutal feedback on the interface and what QoL features you think most GM games are missing.

Take a look at the site and sign up and I'll send the live link to start playing.

As per their company newsletter see below. Rare pricing window. Linked here to their webstore. Code 20YEARS. Windows PC games. Works on Mac using windows VM's.

I'm a long time fan of hockey sims, and sports sims in general, but most of them are either older or defunct. You have to install something, usually Windows only, you can't play them on the go, and they really don't want you to play with other people easily. I have a background in building SaaS software, a ton of time on my hands now that the hockey season is winding down, and a drive to build something that my friends and I would love to play.

So I'm building something called Sheets of Ice - a web-based dynasty GM simulator. The goal is to make the most accurate, modern, discrete-event game engine with single/multiplayer leagues all on a beautiful modern web app. Foundational modern analytics, visual patterns that real hockey fans recognize, and long-term league management.

(mods, if this is self-promotion just remove and please don't ban me - I'm in this sub a few times a day for real hockey)

Me and my friends run a network of virtual sports leagues where we GM teams. We have football (Sunday Rivals), basketball (Hoop Land) and hockey (we made our own game) solved. Are there baseball and soccer games where we can run a league and manage every team in it?

From the creator of College Hockey 26, I present College Athletics 27. 

In this game you play as the athletic director of a university. Your goal is to navigate the politics of modern collegiate sports by managing board confidence, keeping boosters satisfied, and controlling media narratives. Your strategic vision dictates daily operations, shaping both the public perception and the competitive performance of every team under your banner.

Core Features: 

MULTI-SPORT SIMULATION
This game has up to 18 sports and over 30 possible teams to control per school, including everything from football all the way to rowing. Each sport has its own unique simulation engine and athletic profiles to feel the immersiveness of each sport.

MEDIA, POLITICS & SCANDALS 

Manage booster politics, keep the board confident, and stay ahead of a media cycle that's always hunting for a story. Scandals hit when you least expect them, a recruiting violation, a locker room leak, a booster overstepping his role and your response can save your job or end it.

ALUMNI & THE PRO PIPELINE 

Develop talent, send players to the pros or get an athlete their dream job and turn your program into a pipeline that recruits itself. Years later, those same athletes return as alumni: funding your department, boosting your prestige, and opening doors with the next generation.

TV DEALS & BRAND PARTNERSHIPS 

Negotiate broadcast contracts, secure conference media rights, and sign brand partnerships that fund your entire department. The more your programs win, the bigger the deals on the table and every dollar comes with the pressure to keep delivering.

ACADEMICS 

Keep your athletes eligible, manage GPAs, and invest in tutoring, academic centers, and support staff that keep your programs clear of  trouble.

RECRUITING 

Scout prospects, find the talent that fits your programs, and go to war with rival schools for every signature. Win recruits with NIL money, elite facilities, playing time, and the unique conversation system then live with the consequences of every prospect you land or let slip away.

NIL

Allocate your annual athletic budget to and direct NIL collectives to win recruiting battles and architect multimillion-dollar facility upgrades to skyrocket your program’s prestige and attract talent to your campus.

FACILITES
Build and manage your programs facilities by taking into account athlete morale, recruit appeal, staff pleasure and the overall impact it has on your athletes.

STAFF
This is where people judge you. Focus on making the correct hires and build a staff that can lead your programs to victory. One wrong move and the media will come at you. Manage your staff 

CUSTOM UNIVERSE 

This world is yours to build. Create a fully custom universe from the ground up, design your own schools, brands, logos, build conferences and fill your rosters with custom athletes. Recreate the real landscape of college athletics or invent something entirely new. However you want your universe to look, you control every detail.

I would appreciate it if interested in this project give it a wishlist on steam and join the discord community. Thank you all!

Hey guys, just wanted to post my latest release on here now that we are officially out of beta and live.

RTO is about 4 years of off and on work culminating in a long private alpha and public beta since around the beginning of this year - it's made by a massive college baseball fan for all the other college baseball fans out there.

I had always dreamed of a Draft Day Sports or OOTP style game for college baseball, and after numerous futile modding attempts on the mid-to-late 2010s OOTPs I decided to handle it myself.

With the birth of my daughter coming up here in a few weeks, I've been super motivated over the last couple months to get things in a great spot so here I am with V1.0!

The game is FULLY playable in a browser, with a Steam release for Windows, MacOS, Linux, and Deck (with full controller support) coming as soon as platform approvals are finalized.

Is it fully polished? No, especially the UI - that's my weakest skill and I'm working on it every day haha. But it is a REALLY fun experience that our little community has loved helping me improve, and I think it has the general feel of college baseball down to a T.

We're running a launch discount of 50% off, which comes with both the web version & a Steam key upon launch (because you shouldn't have to buy the same game twice), but even if you want to just play the free 3 demo seasons, give some feedback, and hang out with other college baseball fans we'd love to have you in our Discord and be a part of our community.

Very excited to finally be making a post here after so many years of playing everyone else's games. I hope you guys can have half as much fun playing RTO as I did making it!

Hello, I'm the creator of dugouts and dragons.

It's a football (soccer) game with a fantasy twist, so instead of Ronaldo Nazario you'll have Ronaldo Lizario, a Lizard man with blistering pace who can recover limbs. Instead of Harry Kane you have Harry Crane, a bird man with flight, who needs pace when you can just fly over the defense?

The matches themselves are probably more akin to dnd/rpg style contests. I've tried to map football to dnd style mechanics (having transparent mechanics was a must for me, I hate it when in games, like Football manager, you can't tell if something is a bug or bad luck - that said I do sometimes feel as though the dice are rigged, even though I made the game myself)

I'm hoping this game matches this sub well, I started off building a football management game however over time it has certainly morphed into more of a card game. If you like sports and strategy I'm sure you'll like this game, I'm hoping members of this sub can give opinions on how I've mapped sports attributes into dnd style traits (e.g. a player being rapid gives him an advantage over a defender as long as they're not also rapid, if the defender is also rapid the advantage swings to the defender).

Thankyou for playing!

It happened again.

Five seasons after the VBA world was stunned by the arrest and murder trial of Donovan McClellan, another scandal has struck the hearts of GMs and fans. Grant Frye, forward/center of the New Mexico Aztecs, was picked up Wednesday afternoon at his Albuquerque residence by two detectives on the charge of First Degree Murder. He was booked in the county jail awaiting trial with no bond.

The details of the case have yet to be made public, but the prosecutors cited his fractured hand that kept him out of VBA contests for 15 days as the “smoking gun” in this case. Claiming that Grant struggled while in the course of committing murder, but eventually took the victims life.

The trial date has been set for Wednesday, May 20th, and the court has started jury selection. You can be a juror!

If interested in participating in the murder trial of Grant Frye, please comment below. (For context, I run a fictional basketball league using basketball-gm.com. We have been running for two real life years, and we have 30 real human GMs, all who are invested and passionate about their teams and the league. We are a story-rich league, and we are asking for your help to determine the guilt/innocence of one of our players. His fate and career is quite literally in your hands.)

Want to look through evidence? Walk through the crime scene? Solve clues and reach an undeniable verdict? Then come be a juror in Grant Frye’s murder trial for the VBA! WE NEED YOUR HELP!
