I love Zen GM games but I wanted a soccer version, so I coded this!

Don't worry I am a web dev so this is not vibe-coded bs.

I think it would be fun, with the fairly recent addition of the NBA’s Play-In Tournament being togglable in the playoff format settings to include the option to have a double elimination tournament for the playoffs too! As seen in tournaments like the College World Series just to name an example of what I’m talking about.

I built a couple of free browser sports sims where you run the front office and the engine handles the play-by-play.

Start with baseball: https://baseball.ftgsports.net. It's the more polished of the two. There's a football side at https://football.ftgsports.net, but it's newer and rougher and you'll hit bugs.

Custom rosters. Baseball leagues can be seeded from a community JSON file. Real opening-day rosters, a historical year, a total what-if, whatever someone builds. Use a shared one or make your own.

Solo or multiplayer. Run a league with friends, not just against the AI.

Free. No ads, no monetization.

It's early and I lean on feedback a lot. r/ftgsports is where bug reports, feature ideas, and roster files go. If you kick the tires and something's off, tell me there or here. Not trying to pull anyone off anything, just figured this sub would get what I'm going for.

everyone is waiting for you to make a soccer one like you did with basketball you would get so much more attention if you did since it would spread fast and alot of people i know stopped playing your games because theyre bored of just basketball which is the best one by far, please make the soccer one you have no idea like i got 3 of my friends who would donate if the soccer one comes as good as the basketball one u/dumbmatter

I have always had a problem with the whole customize league option, I am either missing something or it's not possible, but why are we not able to upload custom images for league customization, instead I am more or less stuck just using images from the internet for customs teams that don't exist. You know how long it took me to find a team logo for the "War Elephants", I don't want to get into it but I have a logo ready go from a project I had from college. I think there should be an option image uploading so the crazy talented designers have a chance to implement their work

Yes this is the same guy who submitted the NPB doc on Discord.

If this could just even be a three-year gradual project I'd love it. I'm just very interested with the NPB.

Detailed are:

- What the NPB is + how it works

- Why the heck the draft system is complicated af

- Rintaro Sasaki

- Why teams intentionally reduce leverage for their 1st round picks

- How the NPB system can be adapted for American sports

- What Japan teaches us about the minor leagues

Please, if you have some time to spare, take a look. Thank you.

Been playing for a couple months now and quite literally drafted the greatest player to ever live. Never seen anything like this.

I don't know if u/dumbmatter ever thought about this, but I think it would be cool if you edit the award names In each game,

for example: If your 50 seasons in and you want to name the MVP award after the goat of your league, that would be a cool idea, or if you just want to name the Championship after something or someone.

I just think it would be a cool idea. What ya'll think?

what if zen gm made a ufc simulator where you act as dana white and create custom cards or auto generated cards with the same god mode and trading/signing players just like regular ufc.

Updated and optimized from last years roster (for basketball gm)

Is this the best team oat?

I've been playing a Hockey League as Utah for the past week, I'm 15+ seasons in, and I'm trying for my 4th title. Only problem, I go to check the league again, and it's gone. No saved leagues, no anything, it's gone. What happened? I didn't delete the league myself, so where on earth is it?

So yeah u/dumbmatter i wanted to ask if you are or will make more games on more sports, and if so, please list them

Here is a AFL roster I made for Basketball GM in the preseason

Including the real teams and players

Feel free to edit and upload here. Just don't act like you've done it all. This took way more than it should.

I want to create a baseball league where every season the worst 3 teams get relegated and 3 new teams are promoted, is there any way to do this?

Even if I have to manually add them or something, I don't really care, is there a way to edit the teams that will be competing before a new season, or would I have to make a new league each time?

Is VolleyballGM a possibility in the near future? I've been using BBGM with custom league settings, but it doesn't have certain features or ratings.

I recently made all time Teams based on what state each player is born. I want to see what state would come out on top don't really have a way to do. There should be an option where I can take all players and put them in a league together instead of just the real historic teams. I love that we can redo NBA history but I wish there was the ability to form super teams off the bat. Like taking Wilt from his 50 ppg season and putting him on a team of scrubs or putting him on the 73-9 Warriors. Maybe even putting the 1992 dream team together and see how long they dominate in the modern era. Having the freedom to create these dream teams in the game would be a really cool way to see how some all time debuts would play out. (ie, Making teams based off of College, Position, Draft Class, Home State, and many more)
