Just after midnight on Thursday, October 16, 2008, SportSims.net announced that Franchise Football is now free to play. Formerly available for a monthly fee of $9.95, players can now own and manage a team free of charge.
With its roots in MicroSports’ Pro League football, SportSims,net utilizes an astonishingly accurate simulation engine and a best-in-the-business statistical model. SportSims.net then added a unique Live Online Draft feature, player injuries and retirements, and trades between players.
Featuring a 28-day season, Sportsims.net’s monthly subscribers take their teams through the entire professional football experience. After owners acquire their team, the first four days of the season are spent viewing their roster, scouting the upcoming draft, making trades with other team owners, establishing a detailed GamePlan, and signing free agents. A truly unique and state-of-the-art feature is day five’s Live SimDraft. Owners log on to SportSims.net to view each team’s selections and draft rookie talent for their own team. Following the SimDraft, team owners spend two days at training camp then make final roster cuts and starter selections. During a full 16-game season, teams may suffer player injuries and subsequent game plan adjustments. After an action-packed regular season, teams move on to the playoffs and the SimBowl. Some players may retire at season’s end and the 28-day, dynasty building cycle begins again.
“Our incredibly gifted team has produced the most unique pro franchise football game to date,” said Steve Olson, President of SportSims.net. “There are so many nuances in football – an optimized game plan, the right mix of talent, home field advantage, injuries, drafting the right players – that must be included in a game to make it fully comprehensive and life-like. With the innovative features like trades between owners, spot-on statistics and a live, online draft, this is the game I’ve waited my entire life to play and we’re proud to offer it for free.”
