DECADES

Stay for the long run

Follow careers, chase records, and build a club history.

Your franchise

Build a contender. Run the club.

Find a quarterback you believe in. Hire the coach who can get the best out of him. Then work out how to keep them both. The roster, the staff, the money, and the fans are all yours to manage.

  1. 01

    Scouting & draft

    Follow college prospects all season. Choose who your scouts watch and build your draft board as their reports arrive.

  2. 02

    Contracts & cap

    Negotiate salary, guarantees, and extensions. A breakout player can outgrow his rookie deal. An unhappy star can hold out.

  3. 03

    Coaching & staff

    Hire your coaches and scouts, find a scheme that fits, and decide who gets the chance to play. Good assistants attract offers, too.

  4. 04

    Players & personalities

    Get to know the player behind the ratings. Traits, work ethic, confidence, and coaching shape how his career develops.

  5. 05

    Trades & free agency

    Shop players and picks, make a counteroffer, or chase a free agent. Weigh what a deal does for your team and next year’s cap.

  6. 06

    Headquarters & facilities

    Upgrade the practice field, weight room, player facilities, and stadium. Budget for upkeep as your club grows.

  7. 07

    Fans & media

    Read recaps, follow the MVP race, and hear from your supporters. A big signing and a star’s departure bring very different reactions.

  8. 08

    Club finances

    Set ticket prices, track revenue, and decide where to invest. Build a business that can support the team you want on the field.

Draft day is only the beginning

You found your quarterback. Now build around him.

Your scouts like him. Your coaches have a plan for him. Another owner wants your first-round pick. Getting your guy is just the start.

2027 · SCOUTING

Trust your scouting.

The scouts disagree on Delgado. You bring him in for one last workout, read the reports, and move him above the safer tackle.

2027 · DRAFT NIGHT

Move up and get him.

He will not reach pick seven. You send next year's first to your closest rival and move to number three.

Delgado has outplayed his rookie deal and wants an extension. Your best pass rusher needs one, too. Who do you pay, and who can you afford to lose?

IRONHAVEN · DRAFT NIGHT, 1986

Every owner.
The same rules.

01 · FAIR COMPETITION

Wins aren’t for sale

Real money cannot buy better players, stronger ratings, or somebody else’s scouting reports.

02 · COMPUTER GMs

They have to scout, too

Computer-run clubs work from scouting reports and the information their staff can learn.

03 · LEAGUE BALANCE

A cap for every club

Work within the salary cap and shared league revenues. Better decisions give your club an edge.

Your franchise starts here.

Pick your club. Bring your friends, or take on the league yourself. There’s a roster to build and a first championship to chase.
