About Simhaus: Football
Simhaus: Football lets you live an entire football career inside one universe, starting as a high‑school freshman and moving through college to the professional draft. You can also begin as a high‑school assistant coach, climb the coaching ladder, or jump straight to a dream job.
The game includes a broadcast‑style match engine, a play editor with over 800 plays, and a built‑in universe editor for reshaping leagues, teams, and rosters. It is a single‑player title that supports Steam Workshop and family sharing.
01 / THE GUIDE
Career Progression
The career mode spans high school, college, and the pros. A freshman can be recruited, develop in college, and later hear his name called in the draft, forming a continuous talent pipeline.
Reputation earned by winning games opens head‑coaching seats, college jobs, and professional opportunities, while the game also allows you to start directly in a chosen role without the full progression.
- Observe how reputation changes after each win to gauge when new positions become available.
- Compare the full progression with the shortcut start to see which narrative aligns with your goals.
02 / THE GUIDE
Coaching Schemes
As a high‑school assistant you can select from 20 distinct coaching schemes, each offering a different strategic approach to offense and defense.
Winning games with your chosen scheme builds reputation, which in turn unlocks higher‑level coaching opportunities, encouraging experimentation with different tactics.
- Match a scheme to the strengths of the players you recruit for smoother development.
- Swap schemes after a few games to observe how reputation changes with different tactics.

Play Editor & Playbook
The game ships with 800+ plays across more than 20 offensive and defensive formations, divided into 60+ formation variations, providing a broad tactical toolbox.
A built‑in play editor lets you design custom plays, which you can run in the broadcast‑style engine or test with a one‑click simulation.
- Start by tweaking an existing play before creating a brand‑new design.
- Use the one‑click simulation to quickly gauge the effectiveness of a new play.
04 / THE GUIDE
Talent Pipeline
Every new player is generated as a high‑school freshman and develops throughout a career, allowing you to recruit, sign, and scout them at each stage.
Following players from high school through college and into the draft creates a dynamic roster environment where early scouting can impact long‑term success.
- Prioritize scouting high‑school prospects with high growth potential.
- Monitor drafted players to see how early recruitment influences their professional performance.
05 / THE GUIDE
Universe Editor
Placeholder teams ship ready to play, and the built‑in universe editor lets you reshape leagues, teams, and rosters to match any vision you have for the football world.
The editor works alongside the play editor, enabling deep customization for veterans while remaining accessible for newcomers who want to adjust league structure.
- Begin with small roster tweaks before overhauling entire leagues.
- Save multiple versions of your universe to experiment with different configurations.
