It would take a while but I think it could be really cool. I am no coder, but if anyone wanted to make something like this and Steve would let it use the bb and hardwood designs, I would have some ideas for it.

Hardwood and BB are built with similar code, and I was wondering if Steve or anybody would want to or already is building something like this. I’ve played red zone action, it’s ok but a football game with this style to it would be superior.

It followed the typical "every player is a clone with maximum potential, you decide how they grow by pumping points into them." I find that model very tired and underwhelming. BB is great because each player has different potential and different caps, some fuzziness in scouting reports, and even hidden attributes. You really have to evaluate player performance to understand what their true potential is. It makes the game so much more fun. I had fun with HW, until my team got too overpowered, at which point the "catch-up" mechanic kicked in. I'm not a huge fan of "catch-up" mechanics in games like this. It really made the game a slog. All that too say, I agree. Would be sweat to have a BB style football manager. I'd be happy with either one; American or World styles Updated Sunday, November 19 2023 @ 6:35:33 pm PST

Even syncing 1/2 my recruit points into a single candidate, yielded 0 interest at the end of the season. A couple guys even choose to retire rather than join my team. To me recruiting was the main attraction. Being punished for building too good a team by having your ability to do ANY recruiting at all took away all the joy of playing.
