Offseason Empire is an obsessively detailed football franchise sim focused on the work between the games. You're the GM, not the coach, so you don't call plays — you build the roster, work the cap, run the draft, and try to keep your job long enough to see the plan pay off. Choose a fictional league of 32 franchises with 500 new prospects every year or upload custom teams and players. With no on-field gameplay to hide behind, it's just your decisions and what they turn into. Free to play. All decisions final.
What's in the game
The Draft Room: build your big board from real scouting reports, trade up or trade back through all seven rounds, get graded on everything
The Salary Cap: restructures, void years, dead money, and multi-year projections so you see what's coming before you sign the deal
Franchise Identity: upload your own league or edit any of the 32 fictional teams' names, logos, and colors — no license getting in the way
53-Man Build: final cuts, the waiver wire as a weapon, the roster you'll live or die with come September
The Trade Block: picks, players, and future capital — read the league and make the move that reshapes your franchise
Scouting Department: hire and assign regional scouts, build a network that surfaces hidden talent or avoids a major bust
Offseason Scouting: your scouts attend the Combine, hold private workouts, and perform interviews so you can see the numbers your competition can't
Full season simulation: a sim engine calibrated against real football data, including weather, special teams, and penalties
Assistant GM: an in-app advisor that flags roster gaps and answers questions using your actual game state, never made-up numbers
The full calendar: exits in January, free agency in March, the draft in April, then a season full of trades, waiver claims, and a playoff push
League history: individual awards plus single-game, season, and career records — tracked for as many seasons as you survive
A full career: retire a Hall of Fame exec, or get fired, take over a new team in the same league, and get revenge on the owner who cut you loose
500 draft prospects per year, every class different, every board yours to build
Dark mode: easy on the eyes when the cap math runs past midnight
