If you missed out on the Legend Bowl Franchise Mode update, check out our impressions here.

If you have followed any of my reviews and articles about Legend Bowl, then you should already know that I’m a big fan of the game. One of the reasons I’m a big supporter is because King Javo, the main developer behind the game, is always actively trying to add to it. Some of those additions have been the ability to mod the game, a season mode, and now a Legend Bowl franchise mode option that allows you to take control of a team over multiple years and build a franchise through the draft, free agency, facility upgrades, and more.
