From Sports Mogul:
Masters of the Gridiron is the new head-to-head card game from Sports Mogul Inc., a company with over 15 years designing and publishing sports simulation games.
Development of Masters of the Gridiron started 4 years ago, with the goal of creating a realistic football card game that was as addictive and easy-to-learn as our computer games.
Our Football Mogul simulation game is currently in its 11th year, giving customers the ability to take control of their favorite team, in any year from 1971 to 2013.
We used our experience with this product, and a lifetime of experience as football fans, to write thousands of lines of code that analyzed and evaluated over 1500 real-life players, before narrowing it down to the 832 players that are included in Masters of the Gridiron.
Football Mogul’s proprietary play designer was used to create over 400 different Playbook Cards that are included in Masters of the Gridiron. Each team’s playbook (included as part of that team’s deck) contains both offensive and defensive plays hand-tailored to that team’s playing style.
However, one of the best features of MotG is that you can build your own team and customize your playbook, combining the most valuable players and the most effective plays from different teams.

This is cool news! I’m a big fan of Baseball Mogul, which I’ve been playing for about six+ years now every lunch hour at work. It plays quickly and lets you run a fictional baseball season after season, making trades and signing contracts. On Manager mode, you can play every at bat of every game by resolving it with the one-pitch method. A nice combo of tactical and strategic baseball in one package. I hope this does well for them.

This really does sound sweet and I’d be interested in taking a peek at some of the decks they’re creating.
