@ish400902 Sorry, #missing-leagues" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">football-gm.com/faq/#missing-l… probably explains it

@FootballGM_Game bro, my saves have been deleting for no reason.

v2026.03.08.0954: offensive line stats!

@yayawi2345 IDK I'm wary of making contracts too complicated.

@FootballGM_Game can you add a franchise tag?

@AshleyIsSatan For most positions, backups get used based on formation (like you need more WRs on the field for some plays) and fatigue. For some positions (such as QB) backups don't play unless there is an injury.

@FootballGM_Game This is crazy but I'm curious and couldn't find anything the the manual or the FAQ. For positions with multiple players, does their spot in the depth chart determine their usage? Like is the 3rd WR mostly slot or are the first two DL the ends? Is there a chart somewhere maybe?

Version 2026.02.13.1302: the home team's logo is shown at midfield during live games

- Added player "awards" for league leaders in sacks, interceptions, and total (non-passing) TD More details: zengm.com/blog/2026/02/s… (3/3)

- New settings: enable/disable two-point conversions; and overtime type to set if overtime is sudden death, sudden death except for a FG on the first drive, or both teams must possess the ball (2/3)

FBGM updates to keep you busy on Super Bowl bye week in version 2026.02.01.1044 - Game sim tweaks: nerfed fast WR, WR depth is more important, buffed good tackling LB, and some special teams fixes. - Better clock management in some late game situations. (1/3)

v2025.11.14.1320: New "Kickoff Touchback Yards" setting, with a default value of 35 yards. The likelihood of a touchback is now influenced both by this setting and player ratings, whereas previously all kickers performed the same on kickoffs. Also added various stats for kickoffs

Apologies to anyone who recently did this manually with the schedule editor!

Version 2025.11.12.0731: for leagues with the default number of confs/divs/teams and default schedule settings, generated schedules are much more compact and realistic - 18 weeks of games with accurate bye weeks

Version 2025.09.01.1319: To increase 4th down drama a bit, in the live play-by-play there is an extra event before 4th down plays to show what players are on the field (offense/FG/punt)

Also, Boise gets a blue football field.
