Create your coaching legacy by choosing from four exciting new archetypes, or step into the shoes of your favorite NFL head coach, each bringing their authentic strategies to Franchise. Customize your Weekly Strategy by selecting new coach abilities every week that offer different tactical advantages and evolve as you level them up. Earn more abilities and fine-tune your game plans each week, tailoring them more precisely to your opponents as you progress. New Play Sheets add a strategic layer to play-calling, a coach Approval Rating system holds you more accountable for your decision-making, new Trainer abilities offer new ways to control Wear & Tear recovery, and new Weekly Recaps hosted by Scott Hanson keep you updated league news.



New Archetypes & Abilities System: Create a coach by first selecting one of four all-new Archetypes (Offensive Guru, Defensive Mastermind, Personnel Czar, Development Wizard). Then, customize your game plan every week with new Coach Abilities that develop based on your performance and decisions. Earn new abilities as you level up that offer a range of tactical advantages, providing more ways for you to dial-up new Weekly Strategies tailored more precisely to your opponent each week.

Weekly Strategy: Weekly Strategy choices you make about game planning, practice focus, and player development will have implications on both your team’s short-term success and your overall Franchise legacy. Refine your Weekly Strategy based on your specific opponent and learn how best to prioritize your limited time and resources each week.

Play Sheets: Leverage the expertise of your coordinators with new Play Sheets -- a smaller group of plays that you can add to your main playbook to create more specialized game plans precisely tailored to your weekly opponent.

Wear & Tear: Reduce Wear & Tear recovery time with new Trainer abilities, and track availability with newly added player statuses. Designations like Probable (P) or Doubtful (D), will update based on weekly practice usage and recovery focus, providing you with key game day personnel information. Clinch a playoff berth? Rest your star players in Week 18 so they’re fresh for the playoffs.

Approval Rating: Navigate relationships with fans, media, players, and front office – your decisions will affect your Approval Rating which ultimately determines your job security.

Weekly Recap: Stay informed with Scott Hanson's new halftime highlights and weekly recaps featuring key moments from the week’s matchups around your league.
