Great videos!

These are so good. I subscribed to the YouTube channel.

I feel as if OOTP is the most in-depth. Take it as you will. If you feel like diving straight in, go for it. However, I think that DDS games are easiest.

Draft Day Sports is a great series

Fifa 98 was my first Sports Game I remember. I'm from germany so Fifa and Soccer was the most important Sport/sgame. After I watched Football the first time, I started playing Madden 15 I think.
But the Manager-Mode there is very bad, and I started to get into College Football as well. This was how i stumbled across CTFM and I'm looking forward to play!

Definitely think hockey will be my next game... IFM is coming along nicely.. Should be able to reuse most of the UI and just make it a hockey game on the backend. But yeah, hockey is definitely a huge gap in the sim world right now...

More and more convinced to purchase this game!

love this thx

I first played some old as dirt soccer and hockey manager games in the early 90s - can`t even remember the names as I am obviously even older... 🤣 They were simple as hell but really fun. I kept playing the FIFA Manager Series over the years and was always looking for some more obscure stuff until I stumbled across greydog software, who really did some nice stuff outside of the mainstream gaming market. I come back to sports management games quite regularily because its a relaxing way to play and rage quits occur... well... not that frequently. 😁

Weekend Warriors College Soccer, part of SimNation, is one of the only simulation college soccer leagues out there. We use ESMS+, a freeware program, to sim our matches, and a custom recruiting module (also freeware) to do our offseason recruiting. We're nearing the start of our 2nd season and currently have 9 teams being managed, but we're looking for more! You would have the chance to shape your own college soccer program, and you could do it with pretty much any* team that's in the Division 1-FBS in the country. We had a great first season and we hope you'll join us for our second season. If you'd like to know more, please ask here, PM me, OR click the video (~7 min long) introducing the league. We hope you'll consider signing up!

*Except for the 9 teams that are already spoken for, of course

Utilizing the very creative team creation tool located within XEG Football (which uses season stats to populate positional attributes), I converted a 10 team league I created with the Flash Football table top game into the TTFL utilizing the XEG Football engine for game play.  The game is free and located at https://xegstudios.com/.  Though XEG Football does not have the capability for season play yet, the game does have a very nice feature where you input the prior season stats for the teams and the game automatically ages the players, improving some or declining others based on their stats and years experience.  Utilizing Excel and the exportable CSV files the game generates, you can easily track weekly, seasonal, career stats, while letting the game engine play out the game (and the game designer provides very copious notes showing you what is underneath the hood for the engine and how the play results are determined).  Simply put, this game is tailor made for those looking to replay old NFL, College, USFL, etc seasons.  Build your rosters, input your team player stats and away you go.
 
My league has 10 Teams:
Eastern Division - Madison (WI) Pandas, Newark (DE) Bees, Norfolk (VA) Swans, Orlando (FL) Warthogs, Rochester (NY) Cockatiels
Western Division - Albuquerque (NM) Gazelles, Aurora (CO) Coyotes, Eugene (OR) Frogs, San Jose (CA) Mandrills, Wichita (KS) Cheetahs
The league plays a 9 game schedule and the top 2 teams from each division make the playoffs.  I have currently completed Week one of schedule with the following results 
Newark Bees 27 @ 34 Aurora Coyotes Albuquerque Gazelles 17 @ 21 Rochester Cockatiels Orlando Warthogs 35 @ 28 Eugene Frogs Norfolk Swans 9 @ 48 Wichita Cheetahs San Jose Mandrills 45 @ 49 Madison Pandas  
The next few posts will give a broad overview of the teams.

Here are some screeshots from the developer's website:
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have experience playing OOTP, APBA and Strat-o-Matic but not familiar with the other games. Be interested to join a casual league if one is available. 

hey fellow GM games fans, 
i just got activated here. first i was only registering here trying to "steal" the DDSPB21 GM Games Pro Photo Pack as Im planning to getting into that game. but hey why not share some stuff with other GM games enthusiasts. 
i was a bit ticked off not receiving the confirmation mail directly. but then i contacted the admin and he reacted hella first. but i could tell hes a really chill dude from watching his streams on YT before which got me in those draft day sports games in the first place. 
i was always looking for a decent basketball GM game. played a bunch of other GM or GM styled games before, like football manager (probably sunk the most hours into that game, besides some RTS games), total extreme wrestling (rerunning the monday night wars after the montreal screwjob), nba 2k GM mode, pro cycling manager (also running historic database telekom vs us postal and shit) and rite now those draft day sports games.
im from germany. i support the following professional sport teams: 1. FC Cologne (the billy-goats my local association football club, still hope they wont descend, that missing crowd support really sucks for them), bora-hansgrohe (professional cycling team) and basically dallas ball sport teams. dirk brought me there and being exposed to the coverage there i slowly got into americas team the boys for the NFL aswell (dont bash me for that, haha). 
so my plan is trying to build a dynasty around luka magic (have u seen his 3 point buzzer beater floater vs the grizzlies? like dafuq) with the mavs in DDSPB21. 
so yeah thats my first post basically. so one more to go before i can download lol. 
but ima take it slow. not trying to spam or anything. 
thanks for letting me in
greetings franz_kremer (named after founder of 1. FC Cologne, who phrased the famous quote: tradition only has a sense, if the willpower for even higher deeds is there; when he founded the club basically merging two clubs from cologne, he was asking do you want to become meister (champion) with me. and they basically did it. in that times they were known as the real madrid of the west also the first german professional soccer team with kit sponsors so he was ahead of his time. nevertheless i really dig that american sports teams dont really have kit sponsors or just little ones now in the nba)

Good work!
 

Fantastic video. It was a great team!

all my family supports vasco da gama, and we been demoted for the fourth time in less then 10 years, this is nothing expresive by the handicap for your team in fm but with the roster that been demoted and won my state championship, brazilian cup, brazilian league and secondary continental tournment

In my case I started with FIFA Manager 08 until 11 (IIRC), then Football Manager (SI) until 2019. Pro Cycling Manager (2016/17/18/19) , NBA2K19, WWE 2K19, Madden 19/20/21 and if you consider Blood Bowl as a sim game  many years of it.
Recently I discovered DDS Pro Football and then DDS Pro Basketball.
Cheers.

The best player I ever saw live was Charles Barkley, he was something else.  And I saw Magic Johnson, Robinson, Pippen, etc.  Barkley was the most dominant player I ever saw live.  And my second favorite.  My favorite player would have to be Hakeem Olajuwon.  When you cross soccer foot skills (heel pivot) with a monster wingspan you get the best center of the modern era.  He was humble yet dominant.  Only lacked FT accuracy.  Everything else in his game was superb!

Great video, after watching it started playing the game
