Yes! New Star Games is back! Love this take on Football. Keep up the great work. Hope to see this on Steam some day like NSS.

fantastic game, few issues: 1. Would like to be able to see stats of a team before moving. 2. Make it easier to run as QB 3. Pass interference much? Defense is constantly wrestling with receivers before they touch the ball. 4. Just because the ball touches the ground doesn't mean play over. If opposing team hasn't touched a player with the ball, why does play end if you dive or they dive when catching? Thank you for many hours of fun so far!

Good game i like it alot alot i just wish you could review other teams before you decide to move to them as head coach.

Suggestion: with the directional dots, please add a circle on the ground to represent a rough area where the ball will land, tighter and more accurate for higher throw values. I hate how many interceptions I have given away

Okay, I've been playing this for a bit, and I really love the idea, but hate the control scheme. The fact that the dots don't extend all the way, and that there seems to be an unpredictable arc to how far the ball is thrown, makes it damn near unplayable. I'm 4 seasons in and I've got shit for a team, and I lose pretty frequently. This isn't just hard, it's mechanically janky and it's frustrating. Again, I love the idea, love the design, but the execution is lacking.

First of all simple game but a great one. Still have some tweakings to be done. Had 16-0 and won cup 3rd year (full). Switched team and basically it's like a reboot. Have not found RB to be usefull, kinda wasting a spot, maybe need tweeking. Testing with a TE instead and seems to be the same results. With 1 TE, your star one is at the bottom and most plays involved the top one, but again you usually just go with your WR. Winning recipe QB, 2xWR, OL, K and defense, don't forget the OF DF coaches. Improvements are "too fast" maybe intended, you usually max out 2nd year. Also you can easily replace your top players with 1st picks (which you can get by trading your too expensive stars at the draft). So basically when you have your dream team, you can just keep repeating (trade out stars and bring in star rookies)

I'm having the same issue with hiring an offensive or defensive coordinator - screen goes black. Experienced this one time before when changing the sound settings weirdly enough, but that at least stuck.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Found 2 exploits (?):
1) Before starting the play, when double-clicking the setting of the players changes, allowing preferencial start of the play
2) when attacking on the wing (especially applies to WR) when the players stamina and speed goes down just switch multiple lanes to gain extra distance from the opponent - allows to run extra 10-15 yards
Another issue is, when my laptop loses the wi-fi range (at least that seems to be the problem), after finishing the match, the game crashes.
BTW, I'm addictly enjoying the game.

Coach: How fast can you run
Wide Receiver: Pretty fast coach, but i do tire easily
Coach: How about running sideways?
Wide Receiver: Watch me go!

wish there was a practice mode. Especially for the qb. Adjusting to a new qb usually means a handful of really bad games on my part

way too rng based. it's dumb that i can play super well and still get annihilated because my team cant catch a ball or keeps dropping it due to bad rolls

Hey coach.. nice super bowl win. I know you only have 150 millions to pay for the team, but i want 60 millions. Last year i was a rookie, but i dont care, i wont half.. like the joker.. so dont care about keeping a good time, lets focus on me.. or after every good year, just start from the beginning..

Really enjoying the game. Would love to see some "new star soccer" style mini games for playing defense. Thanks for the great work!

Gotta work on that playoff bracket logic. Me and NE are both 10-2 atm, I beat them in week 4, but they have #1 in the division for some reason.

Also having the same issue as Werpac from the 2nd. Trying to purchase a DC and after I say "Yes" to "Fire" the existing one, the screen goes blank and refreshing resets it to what it was before I attempted. Google Chrome as well.

i clicked to rate the game and get 5 stars but the link doesnt work. And when player is running can you speed them up?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
there is a bug when the defender is in off coverage, if you do a quick pass to your receiver the defender will turn his back and run in the same direction as the receiver

Wish there was just a point-and-click style passing option, my QB's stats don't mean jack if i'm fighting with the controls

When you're offered to coach another team it would be nice if you could check how strong they are to help you decided whether to move or stay.

damn, thought it was about sport management as it was in sport category, but instead this is about american football. Too bad!

The music might be breaking the game. When I change it in the settings, the game goes black. After my first draft, I went to start my first new game of the season and the game permanently broke. When I refresh the page I get a colored screen for about half a second and then its broken.

(5/5) Tecmo!!! ...with some simple sim/management mechanics. Nice way to get a little basic NFL action w/o the full mental investment required of, say, a Madden game. Management mechanics could be deeper, but what's there does a lot for replayability. All in all, each component is simple, but they come together nicely.

Having your starting QB go down for any period of time is death. Which I guess is accurate, but not fun. My regular QB is trash but the nameless backup can't throw for more than like 5 or 6 yards (unless he happens to throw a wildly inaccurate pass, then it goes for 15 but nowhere near the reciever). Given how the receivers will never beat their man inside of 10 yards, it's instant death.

I don't love that pass interference is kind of a fact of life for both defense and offense, but I love that New Star is bringing its style of games to football now. I hope you continue to develop it!

So, I am loving the game so. One suggestion would be perhaps to be able to tell which WR is which before the play? I got my speedster but I'm never really sure if I'm throwing to him until after he catches it.

You should be able to preview team you're transferring to, or at least ask for confirmation. Now I have to start worse off than I've been at the beginning, makes no sense.

The game is nice, but after a while every game you have a player injured and the strength of teams is not directly conceived by the stars they show. For example, my team has almost 5 stars in defense and the opponents had something like 1 star in offense and they still scored 2-3 touchdowns...

During the second year my players barely wore out between games. Now, in my third year, there is almost always 1 injured player game, even though I basically got a fully new team.
I thought maybe it had something to do with using my players too much in individual plays, but I rotate almost every active position.
How do you determine who gets injured?

whenever i purchase a defensive coordinator, my screen turns black. even after i refresh the page i cant purchase the defensive coordinator without breaking the game (google chrome)

Can you include an option to surrender? There really is no reason to continue a game where you are down 15 points in the first half

My players will slow down to the point of stopping while going for a touchdown, but the defense will catch up, and pressing forward seems to make me dive.

One flaw: When you try to sign a free agent, it will tell you you have to cut roster if you're at your salary cap BEFORE it tells you you don't have enough to sign em. I mistakenly thought I had enough, had an injured QB; was going to sign a new one, and cut my old one for the replacement. Except because I didn't have enough... yeah.
