Core foundations are in
Career mode, simulated seasons, contracts, records, legacy, and International Hub already sit at the heart of the build.
Playtest status
The Playtest is live: Steam access in waves
The Playtest is live and players are being admitted gradually. Request access on Steam; selection is not automatic. This is separate from the planned Steam Next Fest demo. The first fixes have already shipped.
Update 1.0.0 fixes the repeated scene after the College Final on the way to Selection Night. If your career is at this point, test the agent conversation, Combine, private workout and interview; report repeated scenes or blocked choices on Discord.

A playable build in deep consolidation.
The focus is making career, International, history, performance, localization, and global memory readable and stable across long runs.
Career balance and rhythm
Long careers, awards, Pro Pantheon, International, rankings, IT/EN copy, and performance need focused playtest stress.
Playtest and feedback
Access is being granted gradually. Players can report issues and suggestions, and the first fixes have already shipped.
Your progression stays on the device, designed for long seasons and frequent returns.
Screens, copy, and flows are refined so the career stays readable after many seasons.
Playtest feedback, bug reports, and suggestions will be collected through clear channels, readable severity, and ordered triage.
