    • Draft a custom roster of NFL player cards and chase the win to earn rewards across different regions.
  • Seasons Mode
    • Players can build their dream team and lead them through an NFL season on the way to a Super Bowl victory.
    • Players can join an NFL season and earn their way into the playoffs for a chance at becoming a Super Bowl Champion.
  • Leverage Real NFL Results
    • Beginning with the upcoming 2024 NFL season, players can make predictions about upcoming real NFL games to score points for a chance to win in-game rewards.
    • More information is set to be available at the start of the 2024-2025 NFL season.

In a statement vice president of video gaming at the NFL Ed Kiang shared that this new mobile game introduces a new way for NFL fans to engage. Meanwhile SVP d Ashwin Desai said that the game elevates gaming especially with the real player likeness. Desai is connected with OneTeam Partners, the group licensing partner for NFLPA in the digital games category.
