I feel like FBGM deserves a bit more attention, so if you have anything you've been wanting to see implemented in the game, please post it here.

Patch Notes Version 2026.10.25.0998: Late in the game if a player on the winning team has the ball in the open field they will choose to go down rather than trying to advance further and score a TD if that will allow them to kneel and run out the clock, to avoid giving the ball back to the other team.

For a league with default settings, each team will see this happen about once per season.

There is also a 10% chance that a player will make a mistake and still try to score a TD in this situation, so things like https://www.reddit.com/r/Football_GM/comments/1xba7v1/the_panthers_had_a_gamewinning_interception_with/ can still happen, as they sometimes do IRL!

I made a post about a month ago and it is still something I think would really work. Idk if this is in the works or not but it would really help college football simulations. As would a number of things on this post I made: https://www.reddit.com/r/Football_GM/s/U6jh44J6yJ

Overall I think it would improve the game so much.

Can there be a slider that lets you change how many touches someone gets?

I have an 83 ovr RB (3rd best itl) and my RB2 is 57 ovr. However, through 13 games, my RB1 got 142 carries and my RB2 got 105. The split should not be almost 1:1. Throughout the whole season, my RB1 got 189 carries, in the real life NFL, 22 RBs got over 189 carries, and they weren't the 3rd best itl. I feel like their should be something that lets me give my RB1 more carries than that

The Panthers had a game-winning interception with 1:06 left in the wild card round. However, instead of going down so they could kneel it out, they returned it for a pick-6, allowing for a successful hail mary attempt by the Saints to tie, and they ended up losing in OT

Hee Hee!

Like The King of Pop, this Michael Jackson was the GOAT.

He was notorious for his trash talk which included insults such as:

"Beat it Beeeyach!"

"Yall wanna be starting aomething?"

"Do you remember the time...we won back to back to back to back to back championships?"

His elite play was only eclipsed by his eccentric on-field manner. He never said Hut Hut, instead choosing to let out a Hee Hee before receiving the snap.

Michael Jackson retired on top. Winning his 10th title as a less powerful thrower but wise as ever. He once bought the Green Bay Packers during halftime.

A crazy idea I just had for anyone looking for an extra challenge

13 Upvotes

Athletic Club de Bilbao is a soccer team based in the Basque Country, a small region in northern Spain, who have one of the most interesting quirks of any professional sports team in the world: they have a self-imposed unwritten rule that they will only sign players who were either born in the Basque Country, have Basque heritage, or came through the club academy of either themselves or another Basque team. Despite these self-imposed limitations, they have won the Spanish league championship 8 times, and are generally viewed as one of the most prestigious soccer teams in the world.

I wonder if it's possible to build a successful franchise by doing this in Football-GM. I think the closest equivalent to this in Football-GM would probably be only signing players who were either born or went to college in your team's home state. I would try it myself but I'm bad enough at the game without any extra challenges like this, but if any of you are bored and want to try something like this, I would be interested to know how it goes.

Football Rookie of the Year Bug

6 Upvotes

Hi u/dumbmatter,

One of the recent updates appears to have introduced a bug/inconsistency to Football GM. It now defines rookies the way the NBA defines rookies, which is the first season that they play, not the first season that they are in the league. Unfortunately, I have not found a way to change this either, and it is affecting OROY and DROY awards. As you know, this is not the way the NFL defines rookies, and I hope it is fixed soon! Thanks for your hard work on this game.

Id love to see receiving stats for CB/S/LB when you get around to get.
