These companies are missing so much profit by not releasing new versions of sports games and have fans release the updated hacks for their old games for free!!! lol

One of the advantages of the community is to launch new annual versions of non-profit sports games.

Was thinking of trying this one out. I've enjoyed previous NFL and College Football mods for this game.
Although, I haven't really kept up with the NFL since 2021 - In fact, that's when I stopped watching TV entirely.
