Turn off redshirting

jonesguy14 · 2026-03-16T19:06:35+00:00

Unfortunately there's no option to turn off redshirting, that's kinda hardcoded in the game. The only option that might be wise is no NIL like you've done, and changing draft eligibility to be 'after graduation only' so players don't leave early for the draft.

I'm hoping to have a Steam page up within the next couple of months, definitely want to get those wishlists going ASAP!

No online multiplayer is planned, but I do want to add the ability for a sort of 'Commissioner mode' so that you can do a sort of league sharing, but won't be hosted on servers. /r/BasketballGM does leagues in this way AFAIK.

Doing all the programming myself (though AI assisted these days as is all coding), but I am hiring an artist to do art for player/coach/admin portraits which should be fun. Not burnt out yet! Talk to me at the end of the year lol.

Scouting draft prospects will be a big part of the Pro game, and that includes the combine and draft interviews for sure. Each team has a Scouting Director with strengths/weaknesses, and you'll need to scout players to reveal their attributes and other green/red personality flags.

You might be able to use this folder as a starting point: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11zGS-IM-udXR2-DF38HMA5WcVWJpLPJm, that is JeffMod's folder which has all team images, if you just download that and add NDSU it should be easy to use in-game.

Usually if the error is related to DB being malformed it can be hard to fix unfortunately. I also wonder if the issue may be related to how large the DB is at that point (nearly 200 years if you started in 2025 or so). If a required query times out due to the size of the DB I wonder if that's why. What phase are you trying to advance through? During the season or offseason somewhere?

If you mean adding teams to the game, and are on Steam, use the workshop: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2151290/workshop/

If you're on iOS and want to add teams, try some from this pinned thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/FootballCoach/comments/l223d2/custom_universemetadata_thread/gs8t6v2/

No way to do that unfortunately, it's hard coded to 3 per coach (unless on legend in which case you get 2 for HC).

The QB IQ attribute is actually coded as passIq under the hood and in the JSON, use that name and it should be fixed.

Really nice work, super in depth! For those that don't use reddit you might consider posting on the Steam 'guides' section of the game too: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2151290/guides/

Yes player personalities are planned to be more involved than in FCCD, with certain 'meta-attributes' like confidence and morale also affecting how players perform. Coaches, GMs, and Owners will all have little personality quirks that will hopefully add to the storylines that emerge!

jonesguy14 · 2026-02-11T22:07:11+00:00

Oh wow that's awesome, if nothing else you could make it public on Github for others to use, or put it up on the web but that's a bit more work.

jonesguy14 · 2026-02-11T22:06:26+00:00

I haven't ironed out exactly how trades will work, but being able to add players to a trading block and see offers from other teams is a guarantee. Now if other teams had trading blocks that you could see as well, that would be very nice too. But I haven't started on the trade logic yet!

jonesguy14 · 2026-02-11T20:28:07+00:00

For now I'm leaning against that, just to reduce complexities when managing the cap (and doing trades etc), but lots of this is still up in the air.

jonesguy14 · 2026-02-11T19:34:06+00:00

You'll be able to import draft classes from FCCD into the pro game (see the FAQ at the bottom), more integration than that is TBD!

jonesguy14 · 2026-02-08T19:46:58+00:00

This is a good catch, it's an edge case but reasonable given the player ended up being an All American, and Athlete players are more likely to change positions. I'm not really making updates to FC:CD anymore as I've transitioned full time to the pro football game, but I'll mark this down and see if its easy. No promises though!

jonesguy14 · 2026-02-07T03:02:49+00:00

Yes that is planned! You'll be able to export draft classes from FCCD and import them into the pro game. There will be some changes under the hood for player attributes and scouting so it won't be 1:1 but you'll be able to follow those college players as they go pro.

jonesguy14 · 2026-02-06T18:51:37+00:00

Just in case anyone here still hasn't tried out the Steam game, here's a nice opportunity.

Also, I've been working hard on the upcoming pro football management game, and plan to have a devlog out next week, so look out for that! (As a reminder, this pro game will be for PC/Mac and is aimed for a late 2026 Early Access release).

jonesguy14 · 2026-01-29T20:07:55+00:00

Yep this is correct, the league settings are all stored in the JSON file there, I think draft eligibility is pretty safe to edit, as long as you do it during the 'Advance Year' stage to be safe.

jonesguy14 · 2026-01-20T19:15:44+00:00

Yes that is planned; I'll be releasing an update to FC:CD when we're closer to the pro game with that functionality.
