About this app
Football League Commissioner is an American football simulation built around running the league rather than one team. As commissioner you customise rules, explore expansion and relocation, and give your football world its own identity, while simulation shows how those decisions play out. A sandbox mode is there for experiments, and Unlimited Draft is a separate roster-building mode.
You can follow the action at whatever level interests you: simulate a game, a week, a season or the playoffs, then check standings, schedules and stats. Observer mode lets you follow favourite players and teams and watch storylines develop. The store screenshots show the office side in more detail — owners, media deals and league health, inbox proposals, votes and crises, schedule creation, transaction approvals and salary-cap settings.
History is kept as you go: a Yearbook, timelines, records and awards turn results into a league with a past, and multiple saves let you keep separate football worlds. According to the app’s own screenshots, the league uses real players from across football’s eras; their ratings and results are the simulation’s own estimates.
