The player can also customize the stadiums, belong to the playable races. The player can add various amenities, like beer stalls, install roofs and bleachers, and more.

Last but not least, there’s the Cabalvision – play-by-play commentary option, full of witticisms and snarky remarks – and the player market, where hard-earned game money can be spent on replacing mauled, maimed or otherwise incapacitated team members.
