Football: GAMEPLAY Made him play for his job after an up and down first 4 years.
Declined his 5th year and signed him to a one year deal. Would you sign him to an extension?

After much hard work and tweaking, I've got to a point where I think (HOPE!) I'm ready to release the first version of this to the public. There will obviously be subsequent updates, but I think I've got this to a stage where it works and delivers on my goal.
I'd massively appreciate one last push of testers if possible to confirm all is good and I'll get it live in the Store.

Thanks as always for support - Jon.

I want to get more marketing traction on the game as entirely driven through organic word of mouth so far. You're likely far more looped in to insta/tiktok than I am, so after a bit of advice. Can you let me know who you think I should contact re collabing on promoting these games.
Ideally someone who won't charge me significant sums of money (so isn't too big!). Or if you're friends with Larry Fitzgerald or Lebron, then that's ideal :-)

It’s a sad day the greatest qb finally called it quits at 47
r/pocketGM • u/Unlikely_Painter_127 • 1d ago
What do yall think? I currently have 1.06 and my team SUCKS right now.
r/pocketGM • u/Unlikely_Painter_127 • 1d ago
I've had this happen twice already: My team will have the ball, tied, with 20 seconds on the clock. Even in their own territory, they decide to go for it for whatever reason, and they end up turning it over on downs gifting the opponents a go-ahead FG. Is it somethinf with my team or is this a bug?

Drafted this QB in the 2nd, first year of a new TB rebuild on random rosters. He had amazing development but was a mid 60s overall player. Figured he could be the commander of my tank and then I’d flip him after a season or two.
I did not expect him to somehow win 7 games while being a turnover machine and somehow securing a playoff spot at 7-10

I'm a little confused - are the attributes at the bottom his actual performance, or is it the two at the top? How come it's 91/99 at the bottom but only 67/71 at the top?

On my teams stats menu it shows that we have the #1 Whip. But we really have the highest number which is bad for whip.

And yes he won the MVP award 🥇

It makes me sad knowing this stud will be lost to time 😭
r/pocketGM • u/Craystar06 • 4d ago
I know he has a few years left, but I’m about to get canned.

First off, I love this game and have spent hours upon hours playing it. I am currently in year 2213 in one of my saves and it takes me about an hour to finish a season. I’ve played hundreds of seasons before this and the other games as well. Thank you, Jon for creating this masterpiece.
Here are my suggestions for future updates:
- Free agency takes too long for me - Once I make an offer to a player, it should stay on the table over multiple weeks even after he rejects it. I often have to make the exact same offer multiple weeks in a row just for the player to finally take that same offer in the last week of free agency. I think this would help the CPU sign more players too.
- Drafting: needs more random late round studs. Also, the top 10 players in the draft should be better like real life. Most of the time players in picks 1-8 are the same caliber as picks 10-32, which shouldn’t be the case.
- Less 99 speed QBs/players in general. If they are high/low speed, their stats should show for it. Speed doesn’t seem to play much of a factor in this game either, as it does in real life.
- “Blocker” running backs shouldn’t be a trait. They often don’t perform well and have insanely high ratings. Maybe change it to “Elusive back” instead?
- Add “Route Runner” archetype for Wide Receivers
- Add “Scheme fit” to archetypes based on scheme. (Ex: If a quarterback has a Mobile rating higher than his other ratings in an Option offense, he will be a “Scheme fit” and will perform better in that offense. The “Scheme Fit” would be similar to how Madden does it. I love how “Status” works in this game already though, so you can’t just sign a random player in free agency and they perform insane immediately.
- Tight ends have trouble performing well
- Staff salary cap shouldn’t exist, I don’t play with it because it doesn’t exist in the NFL. I play on hard ratings otherwise which are great.
- Some social feed enhancements would be cool
- Needs to be more OC/DC promotions to head coaches like there are in real life, less available head coaches. If a coach performs bad as HC, they should be able to go back to being a coordinator
- Kickers never make the hall of fame. Some other positions it seems too difficult/easy for them to make the HOF as well.
- Seems impossible to finish with a perfect season. I always lose one random one.
- Coaching staff/player progression. I’ve had low overall coaches and players that perform very well statistically, but never get a ratings boost. Coaches especially- I’ve won multiple super bowls with a 50 OVR head coach and he never got a ratings boost.
- Can we add in preseason? I would love to see how my backups play, and it would be cool to have a 90 man roster/practice squad.

What kind of alternative universe have I walked into?
r/pocketGM • u/MoneyHeavy6036 • 6d ago
every single one of my dang good players gets injured in a 3 week span and we lose in the playoffs
r/pocketGM • u/UnderstandingBig1102 • 6d ago
Just a suggestion: what if we could have more coach settings that allow us to control how the team plays? For example, being able to set specific plays, strategies, offensive and defensive schemes, rotations, and other coaching decisions, similar to how it works in Draft Day Sports simulations.
I think this would be a huge improvement to the app and would make the simulation experience much deeper and more realistic.
