CAN YOU HAVE THE PERFECT SEASON?

GUIDE

Game Modes

Every mode is the same bet — can your drafting produce a perfect season? — with the rules bent a different way.

Normal

The baseline game: roll, draft, fill the roster, simulate the full season and playoffs, chase 20-0. If you're new, start here — the Normal Mode guide walks through a first run.

Knowledge Mode

The same draft, played blind: no ratings to lean on, just names, teams, and what you actually know about football history. How Knowledge Mode works.

How Many Years?

A patience test: keep simulating seasons with your roster until one comes back perfect, and your score is how many years it took. The How Many Years guide explains the count.

Hardcore

The deep end: a 44-pick draft where you select every starter and backup individually — including each defender — then watch a play-by-play season where injuries and depth actually matter. Read the Hardcore guide.

Gauntlets, Dynasty & More

Beyond the headliners: Franchise Gauntlet locks every roll to one franchise's history; All-Time Gauntlet runs the whole league at you; Elimination raises the stakes on every pick; Dynasty strings seasons together; and Normal Multiplayer pits your schedule against hand-picked opposing teams. The home screen shows what's live right now, and the manual's mode pages carry the full rules for each.
