Dynasty & Online Dynasty

In the Dynasty mode, you will operate as a coach and director of your own college football program, even with the option of creating your own team from the ground up with the Team Builder. You will hire coaches, recruit upcoming high school players, and even manage the transfer portal in this mode.

There is also an online version of Dynasty that allows for up to 32 players to compete simultaneously. The real question here is, which 1-star program will you look to rebuild first?

Road to Glory

Road to Glory puts players in the first-person point of view, taking control of a single player and leading them throughout their college experience. In this mode, you will have to balance a whole new set of challenges that players have never had to deal with before.

Live the life of a student-athlete with your created player and take home the Heisman as you build an unforgettable college football legacy. Manage your weekly schedule, GPA and your image, earn Coach Trust to get more playing time, or use the transfer portal to get the time and the glory you deserve.
