What's in the Sim?

tXtFL 3.2.0 release

Coach Your Team to Victory

The tXtFL, or teXt Football League, football simulator lets you be the coach. You create your team, pick your players, and make the play calls. During each football game, you can watch passing, rushing, receiving, and more statistics pile up depending on the calls you pick...plus a little luck.

Teams can be coached by choosing each play and reorganizing teams. You can tweak player assignments, add new plays, and track player statistics. Players and teams can be customized through player skill values (eg "hands," "feet") and team coaching values (eg "pass coaching," "run coaching").

tXtFL 2.0 brought entire seasons and championships, and now tXtFL 3 allows you to download and import entirely new leagues, or even design your own. With the entirely new tXtFL database in place, you can now play in different leagues—Canadian, collegiate, arena, or of course our very own tXtFL—or create your own league and rules.

tXtFL Mobile for Android is a new version based on the tXtFL 3 engine that you can take with you to work and play during meetings!
