SOME KEY DEVELOPMENTS
While honouring the incredible legacy of Gridiron 3 we see an opportunity to make some fundamental changes to the game design. There will be forums to make suggestions, these will be signposted via the Mailing List. Below are just a few changes we are developing...
LONGER
SEASONS
Ten matches were never enough of this incredible game, so we are committing to create seasons of 12 or 14 games.
MORE AUTOMATION
Building the new Gridiron from scratch will allow more automation and speedier execution of games.
REBALANCED
SPECIAL TEAMS
For those enthusiasts of 25 yard average punt returns, bad news, the new Gridiron will value Special Teams but will rebalance returners to more realistic numbers.
ACTUAL PRIZES
Alongside being hailed on the website; Bowl winners will receive actual trophies or medals, sent via post, to decorate their mantlepieces.
