3 seconds in and I'm already in love. 
I created a Minnesota AFC team in Madden once upon a time and called them the Minnesota Blizzard. That's also what I wanted our new NHL hockey team to be called, but nooooooo some stiffs in suits chose the name Wild. Lame! It's hockey dummies. You know, the sport that's played on ice during the winter, in a state renowned for it's blizzards. Wild with a green color scheme is more about the summer. Market failing 101. It's Colorado Avalanche, not Colorado Summer Time Hikers. I think that's the main reason why I never got into hockey. I mean I didn't like the North Stars either. You need a badass name and theme. Wild and green for a winter team. Someone dropped the puck.
But anyway, where was I? I'm not liking how you can't edit the team names here though, or maybe I haven't figured it out yet. There's no Wisconsin team either so who am I going to hate? Oh right, I see 2 Canadian teams. That's twice the hate right there. Yep we're going to make sure they end up with all the worst players because ain't nobody going to want to play up there. I want my league to be realistic don't I? OMG wait, I see 3 Canadians teams! What's going on? Oh good lord, and a Mexican team? They better not have London .... whewww no London.
8 4 team division, so that's good. Chicago Whirlwinds, Detroit Muscle, and St. Louis Spirits are my division rivals. Chicago Crime, Detroit Dumpster Fire, and St. Louis We'll Eventually Relocate Too would probably be more accurate.
Not understanding my logo here lol. Is that a basketball hoop in the middle?
Now that I check, several teams feature something basketball related in their logo lol. I see what they did. This was originally a basketball game, adapted to football and they got lazy.
Well BarrNone55™ will be happy to know I have my very own "all-vowels" player. First thing I checked. Trey Enechionyia, so we're off to a good start.
Wow, WTF? My starting QB has a rating of 41
... wait, maybe the ratings are different in this game <a few moments later> ... nope, my QB has the 56th "highest" rating of all QB's 
. They're literally going to start me off with Ponder? Ben Chappell. Special Ben. 56th? So he's basically as good as a middle of the road backup. Wonderful. The highest rated QB is at 74 so I guess the ratings aren't exactly like Madden. But still, 41 is more like a 73 in Madden or something. Not good eh Danchat? What am I saying? Dan can probably win the Bowl with a 64 overall QB.
Oh wow, well Madden certainly doesn't have this feature lol. "Tragic Deaths - view all the tragic deaths that have occurred in your league (Warning: this is very slow for large leagues!)". I've seen 1 or 2 career ending injuries in Madden before, but holy cow this is next level. I hope they let you how they died too.
Ahh excellent, found some useful stuff here "God Mode".
- Create custom players by going to Tools > Create A Player
- Edit any player by going to their player page and clicking Edit Player
- Force any trade to be accepted by checking the Force Trade checkbox before proposing a trade
- You can become the GM of another team at any time
- You will never be fired!
We're definitely going to need a better QB.
"Tragic Death Rate: 0.001" ... so morbid ... oh wait, I just thought of a fun idea. What if we bump that up to like 1 or 10?
We can pretend this league took place during the black plague or something. I'm surprised I don't see a "Team Plane Crash rate". RIP Marshall. EA (makers of Madden) have the slogan, "if it's in the game, it's in the game". Liars! There's no death in Madden. Pffff you can't even lateral in Madden.
I haven't found where you can edit team names and junk. They have an export/import option which says it can be used to edit things and share with others, so maybe that's how? Yes that does look like a possibility. You're in luck cheeseheads. Sorry not sorry Canada. And we're building a wall so it just wouldn't work out with Mexico in the league.
Now hold on just a minute lol. My best RB has a rating of 26 which puts him at 125th best in the league. You're giving me Ponder and Asiata? That's not even fair. 125th best is barely a 4th string RB. Ok now I gotta go to Power Rankings, I bet I'm 32nd with this pathetic roster .... amazing, I can't believe I'm 29th. I thought I was going to give the '76 Bucs a run for all their futility records with this roster. I haven't even checked the defense yet.
4th, 16th, and 19th best WR's in the league
now we're cookin. Trade bait. 22nd bets TE. No OL in the top 70 lol. 1 DL in the top 60 (11th). No LB in the top 90. 1 CB in the top 60 (30th). 1 S in the top 50 (9th). 6th best kicker and 11th best punter, well those guys are going to get put to good use.
My payroll is only $125m which is below the minimum of $150m and well below the cap of $200m lol. Who do I even begin to draft to fix this mess? At least they give you 3 years worth of draft classes to look at. You can import your own custom draft classes too.
Danchat might be good enough to turn this 29th ranked dumpster fire into a Super Bowl Champion in 1-2 seasons, but I'm not smart enough, so I might have to take advantage of some of those God Mode features xD. Well I'd be smart enough but I think that salary cap would get in my way.
I do like the menus and all the info and options in this game. Everything is simple, straight forward, and easy to find. But we'll have to see how it simulates before I give it the Reignman seal of approval.
Speaking of Reignman, did he make this game?
Yep I'm starting to think Reignman made this game. No wait, I wouldn't have given myself such an awful team.

Football GM is completely free. There will never be any "freemium" or "pay-to-win" bullsh*t here. Why? Because if a game charges you money for power-ups, the developer makes more money if they make their game frustratingly annoying to play without power-ups. Because of this, freemium games always suck.
If you want to support Football GM continuing to be a non-sucky game, sign up for GM Gold! It's only $5/month. What do you get? More like, what don't you get? You get no new features, no new improvements, no new anything. Just no more ads, both here and on Basketball GM. That's it. Why? For basically the same reason I won't make Football GM freemium. I don't want the free version to become a crippled advertisement for the pay version. If you agree that the world is a better place when anyone anywhere can play Football GM and Basketball GM, sign up for GM Gold today!
