Gridiron Grit: Pro Football Dynasty Simulator Playtest · published · build 26270613
Games now end like real football.
• Real clock management: timeouts (the odd wasted one included), the two-minute warning, spikes, kneel-downs, out-of-bounds stops, and end-of-half field goals or Hail Marys.
• Smarter two-point calls: teams kick when one point wins and go for two when two points wins.
• NFL overtime rules: coin toss, both teams get the ball, then sudden death. Regular-season games can now end in a tie (8-8-1), which counts in standings, seeding and the draft order. Playoff games still play to a winner.
• Your head coach's game management now matters. Set standing calls under Practice & Tactics → LATE GAME: Down 14 late, Protecting a lead, End of half, and 2-pt aggression. A coach who blows the clock in a close loss will hear about it.
• Game Cast shows timeouts on the score bug, plus TIMEOUT, TWO-MINUTE WARNING and kneel-down moments.
• Four UI themes under Settings → Theme (Scout Sheet is the new default), plus support for modded themes.
• Named saves, a new centered Game menu (Esc), a preseason edition of The Ledger, and a permanent Draft History with a grade for every class.
• Playoff fixes: the Season Review now waits until you close the bracket, playoff Game Breakdowns show Film grades, and each Season Review links to that year's bracket.
Thanks for playing, and keep the F9 reports coming! (See announcement for more details!)
