More About Pro Football Coach
Your team will play 16 games in the regular season, just like real professional football leagues. By navigating to the "GAMES" tab, you can see exactly what your team's schedule is. And by clicking on each game, you can see a scouting report of the two teams (if the game has yet to be played), or a summary of the game (if it was already played).
At the end of the regular season, playoffs begin! Each division winner is guaranteed a playoff spot, with 2 wildcard teams from each conference as well.
When you first inherit a team, you will have a total of 46 players (22 starters) on your roster. When you first inherit a team, you will have at least 46 players (22 starters) on your roster. Each player has a name, their age, an Overall rating, Potential rating, Durability rating, Football IQ rating, and three position specific ratings. The Overall rating is just a composite rating of the three position specific ones, while Potential determines how much each player improves during the offseason. Durability determines how likely a player is to be injured, and Football IQ is a measure of how football smart the player is. Smarter teams perform better on the field, and Quarterbacks and Safeties especially benefit from a higher Football IQ. Each player also has a contract, which is determined by their position and how good they are.You can view all of these players in the "ROSTER" tab, which will include:
2 QBs (1 starter): Quarterbacks, responsible for throwing passes to wide receivers.
4 RBs (2 starters): Running Backs, who run up and down the field.
6 WRs (3 starters): Wide Receivers, who catch passes for yards and TDs.
10 OLs (5 starters): Offensive Line, responsible for protecting the quarterback.
2 Ks (1 starter): Kicker, responsible for kicking extra points and field goals.
2 Ss (1 starter): Safety, responsible for covering opposing wide receivers and causing interceptions.
6 CBs (3 starters): Cornerback, responsible for covering wide receivers to deny them the ball.
8 DLs (4 starters): Defensive Line, responsible for stopping the run and putting pressure on the quarterback.
6 LBs (3 starters): Linebacker, responsible for tackling opposing RBs and sometimes covering WRs.
In Pro Football Coach, teams can trade with one another just like real life professional football leagues. If you wish to trade some of your players or picks, add them to the trading block by clicking "TRADE" or holding down on their name. Then click "View Offers" on the trade tab to see what offers the other 31 teams in the league will give for your trade pieces. If you wish to trade for a particular player or draft pick from another team, then go to that teams roster and add the player/pick to their trading block. Then click "View Offers" to see what the team wants from you for the players or picks you added. Contracts are not taken into account during trading for simplicity, but taking on big contracts may prevent you from signing more free agents in the offseason.
As a coach, you can pick what strategy your team employs on offense and defense as they play through their season. By default both strategies are set to "No Preference", meaning there are no bonuses or penalties either way. But you can change your strategy at any time, with options like Aggressive or Conservative for offense, and No Fly Zone or Stack the Box for defense.

Good game but lacks a few things. Most people who play this game are either football fans or ex football players. They like to focus on the areas they played. Please update for defensive stats and make the defensive side more realistic!!! In addition, I am an all around sprtsfan, so please make a basketball version of this and allow for the NBA roster like this one does NFL

Simple but fun little stimulation. It's not the deepest or most realistic simulation, but it has just enough to keep you entertained. Would be nice if there were defensive stats or a more in depth in game simulator, but all in all good stuff.

Fun, good time waster. Custom rosters, online feature. Wish they would add more features like list of previous players and team, in a way a better database for info on current save file. However this is a great sim, simple, fun, and can be challenging!

I love this game! I've been playing it a month now and just realized I never wrote a review. It is a simplified version of Madden's franchise mode where you control every decision your team makes except actually hiring your coaching staff. The only flaw is no draft day trading. Other than that it's perfect.

is there a PC version of this game I love it and want to play on my computer if possible? Also make it to where you can use 2 RB's or 1 RB and 1 TE if you want. it drives me crazy that I cannot have a TE. Also please think about adding a Pro Football coach 2 that would be awesome with some updates. Either way I will always play this game as it is perfect. Thanks.

Such a fun game just to pass the time. This game breaks down being a GM to pretty simplistic terms. You learn the game mechanics pretty quickly and you're able to knock out dozens of seasons in the matter of a couple of minutes. Love this game.

Man I love this game I hope they update it again because although it's addicting it's very easy to win and once you sim past a few seasons the trade finder breaks very easily and once you build a super team you are basically set.

Very enjoyable sim. One of the best I've played. Love how in-depth the stats are Main problem is how player centric it is. Played over 800 years and only have about 12 losing seasons at most. Even when I have a bad QB they're able to put up great numbers. Also wish the game could get updated but ah well, gonna try the other ones. Thanks for the experience :)

It's minimal but entertaining. Seasons can last less than ten minutes so it's not boring and it's a great time waster. IMO though, some things could be added/edited, like: - adding the TE role (instead of 2 RBs, maybe) - enhancing the CPU by making them choose tactics for each game - adding stats for defensive players - adding the possibility to choose between different packages both on offense and defense - balancing the trade block a little (asking for a QB/S in exchange for a K, really?)

I like the game but why are there injuries every game and every season. Also the drafting system needs work. A high round draft pick should have high potential and unless they were injured in college they should have a durability rating of at least B. And as a coach i should have the option to cut players from the roster to save space and cap room. Plus i shouldnt be able to hold infinite alount of player like 6 Qbs, 10 Wrs, etc i thought there would be a limit of how many backup u could hold but other than that i really like the game if you changed some thing i would rate 5 stars

I would give this a 5/5. But I think there's a bug for me when I advance to the offseason. When I press "Advance to Offseason", the app stops, and it doesn't work from there no matter how many times I try. I'll keep the app, but please help me with this. Thanks, and I love this game by the way

Still one of my favorite sports simulator games after all these years. Catchy team names and player names like its from a GameCube game. The simulators are accurate affording to how you set your teams style, or how effective your roster is. Fun to keep up with stats, hof, trades, and awards. To be honest I'd love to see them build on this game more than a college coaching sim. 5/5 A+

I have both the college and pro of the games. College menu and game play is wayyy better but I like the pro a little bit. Easier to get your favorite teams on pro by downloading roster off Reddit ( please don't change it). If you could make the system closer to the college version ( draft, menu in game; such as seeing my playbook, injury report, cap room) would make it so much better. Still fun to play if college version gets boring). Also the trade system is awesome

The game is definitely fun, but there is an issue. Not a bug or anything, but I wish there was more variety. I wish you could switch teams, or make your own custom team. It would be so much more fun if they did the first option, but the latter is still a decent idea. Would like to see the ability for you or other coaches to be fired for not meeting objectives. Introduction to objectives could make the game have purpose, and seeing these changes could make this a really fun, and challenging game

The fact that you can't cut a player during the season is baffling (if I'm missing that option, devs please let me know, I may have missed it). There should be more options for the play calling besides "conservative/aggressive". The trades are always quite lopsided and illogical. Played for about 4 seasons before I gave up trying to make it make sense.

This is an amazing app. But the thing that would make it evan better is more in depth stats like passer rating, completions/attempts, tackles, forced fumbles, and interceptions. Also stats from every season saved on the player card. And one last thing it would be helpful to see players you could draft while in the season.

Despute being about pro football, it feels a lot more simple (and easier) than its college football counterpart. It's extremely easy to keep dynasties going, the "Team preferences" really don't do anything substantial, the draft feels really useless, the menus aren't as refined. It makes it difficult to oversee large moves- not that you even have to, the game is still not that difficult either way.

I've played about 200 seasons so far, so I have a pretty good grasp of the simulation. There are some aspects I enjoy a lot, and there are some features I'd like addressed. First, I like the layout and overall operation. It's simple, yet doesn't get boring rapidly. It's a challenge to keep a good franchise and it is fun overall. Now, player progression is too much random gain/loss with seemingly little impact from potential rating/playing time & the trade machine is broken and one sided, badly.

I have been stuck playing this game for weeks. It's fun simulating seasons and building up a dynasty, just like in Madden. My only complaints is that you can't see stats for you defensive players (sacks, INTS) and also it would be nice to have a player career stats page, where you can see the season stats for the players career. Other than that, this game is addicting. Will continue to play. Highly recommend for Madden franchise junkies.

This game is bad. Contracts are unrealistic, so are the names of players, teams don't go for needs and instead more for overall. No TE or P position, and the games are just 1 push of a button. Building a great team results in mostly barely over mediocre seasons with a 1st or 2nd round playoff loss. Trades also needs adjusting and when looking at the hall of fame there isn't even stats for some positions or little to no stats. Cant move players like if a DE is built more like a LB etc.
