Pro Strategy Football 2022

Reviewed after 64 hours, several games experimenting with features and settings, building a fictional league, and playing a complete season (calling every play on offense and defense for the Bay City Comets). Summary: Pro Strategy Football 2022 is a great game that truly shines in on-the-field play. You can create your own league or use one of the many leagues/seasons/teams created by an industrious and friendly bunch of modders. Available play includes NFL seasons/teams back to the 1950s, several modes of managing/coaching your team, and challenging but fair AI. This is the most fun I’ve had on the PC in years. Details: PSF22 is the latest release in a series from developer Kerry Batts. It is primarily a head coaching sim, and the products’s strengths reflect that aim. You can do all the league-building and general managing you want, but what makes or breaks a game for me is calling the plays and seeing the results. PSF22 succeeds across the board in this aspect of football. Bef...

The developer Kerry is an awesome individual. He does an awesome job at responding to any questions you may have and is probably one of the most patient and respectful developers that I have ever interacted with. He has a true passion for this game. Even going back to the Tom Landry days this game AI was solid and continues to be improved with each version of the game. The reason for this review is to provide an unbiased perspective on the game. I have noticed that several reviews that have currently been provided have been from Beta testers and it could lead to someone thinking that they are biased to the game. I have always thought that beta testers leaving comments and reviews is a conflict of interest so this is the reason I wanted to give my take on the game. The game is in my opinion the best you can buy currently for on the field coaching options and strategy. However be advised that saying this game in its current state is on the level of the former Football Pro series at bes...

Not too bad of a football game. I'll just list the gripes - NT never gets a sack MLB in Nickel runs to the sideline if you blitz him Graphics are annoying - having 4 defenders in front of a ball carrier who then just runs past them and down the sideline for 50yds gets old pretty fast. 4th qtr behaviour seems mangled - the trailing team always seems to get offensive superpowers! Can't really justify the price until all the gripes are fixed.

Better game than Madden, by far.

I have found PSF 2022 both enjoyable and promising for the future of American Football Simulation. My hats off to the developer for such great work from a single part time developer. The passion is definitely there and I recently learned that this is a continuation of his work as lead on Tom Landry football... it is very cool to see this brought up to modern times! I - like many I hope - am desperately looking for a real franchise sim since Madden has chased the MUT money and left the rest of us wanting and I hope that this game finds support from the franchise/sim community so that the dev gains the resources and market to continue to evolve this game to 2023 and beyond! PSF may seem more simplistic than others and may not yet be a full franchise sim but its got potential and there is something about the game is very appealing and comfortable. I am completely satisfied with the on screen visuals that play out the action on the field and lack of financials (aka please focus your fu...

I’m not associated with the publisher of this game but give it a big thumbs-up. I ran across it last year and for $20 thought what the heck, let’s give it whirl. The publisher could have charged three times as much and it would have been worth it. Reasons why: • Incredible amount of NFL, College and WFL mods all the way back in to the 50s • A very responsive developer who actually listens and replies in a thoughtful and quick manner. • A very good AI that is a challenge and reflects team tendencies. • A fun retro feel with nice graphics and easy to use interface • A large amount of new features each year If your in to Madden or need career and management type sims it may not be for you but if you love football history and accuracy this is a no-brainer, buy it.

If you have previously played this game and enjoyed it..you will love the updates. I loved last years version and this one is a YUGE upgrade. The lone developer must be exhausted after doing this. I'm not going into the details on improvements..but being able to run the QB anywhere on the field is cool as heck if your team has a running QB..WR screens..motion backs..sub anyone on the field etc..fun stuff. If you have never played this game..it is a strategy coaching game. The GM mode is very simplistic. No salaries...no player trades.. There is some player movement but everything is designed to be extremely simplified. There is a draft..free agency and you can franchise players..but everything is super simple and functional enough to have player movement in your league. Research the game if you like that general management kinda stuff...if it is important to you..this game might not "scratch the itch" Where this game shines is with game play ( if you play the game as intended a...

Boy if this game had local multiplayer career mode, this would be the greatest football sim ever!

I searched the Steam Store for "Sports Management," and I *still* only found Pro Strategy Football 2022 by accident, when Steam recommended Pro Strategy Football _2021_, under the "Other Games Like This" section of a different game. O.o I have no idea why it isn't more visible/findable, it's exactly the type of football management sim I've been wanting to play, where I can call the plays and then watch the results without having to worry about poorly controlling a guy myself! The "Casual" mode allows for just the right amount of decision-making to keep me satisfied, with the ever-present ability to switch to "advanced" mode and control every aspect of every play if I ever want to. I especially like the watchable Highlights that are generated from each game -- even for games I just sim the results to.

I was going to write another long-winded review like I did last year, but I don't want to waste your time when you could be playing this game. I am floored by how much was added to this game during the offseason. Each year it gets better and better, and this might be one of the versions people look back on and say, "remember when the 2022 version came out? wow dude it was so... See? I just stop myself from carrying on about it. This game has become part of my annual football love-fest over the last few years, mixed right in with the excitement of the upcoming NFL season and fantasy football. Thank you so much Kerry! YOU are a hero, and PSF is pure treasure.
