Patch Version 1.010
Draft class import (requires College Bowl for the draft class export) allows you to export players leaving the college ranks and import them into Legend Bowl. Players will carry over all of their player likeness attributes and accessories as seen in College Bowl.
Their ratings will not be a 1:1 export and they have a hidden chance to boom or bust during the transition to the pros. For those who are technically savvy, you will have the ability to modify the draft class text file with custom players and ratings.
Features Included:
- Ability to import draft class from College Bowl into Legend Bowl. (requires College Bowl for the draft class export)
- Updated jersey number graphics shown in game and replays.
- Auto replays now occur during a game.
- Difficulty sliders that allow for customizing the game to fit any challenge level.
- Updated play calling menu which matches College Bowl's system where you can choose plays more easily.
- All of the new player hair, hairstyles, gear, and accessories from College Bowl.
- New CRT setting for better retro experience than beforehand.
- Drones will now fly around during games.
- Streamlined color palettes to match College bowl (required for class export to work successfully).
- Base rosters upgraded to include all of these new graphics additions.
- ProSet rosters for the 2025 season.
- New team logos.
- Team socks option added to team editor.
New Graphics Settings
- Face covers
- Auto Replays
- Jersey Number Size
* Please note old custom roster player and team colors will no longer look at they did and we STRONGLY advise to remove all old rosters and franchise saves prior to installing this DLC. Basically, start with a fresh install and remove any old files from your user "AppData" directories.
With that said, if you have player or team edits that you really want to save, you need to export them to a spreadsheet first. The Discord community can assist with this process if you need help.
We've been hearing issues with Dynasty files crashing for some time that occurs when saving playbooks before saving your Dynasty file. This would cause a crash to occur when trying to load any Dynasty from that point on.
We apologize for the inconvenience and have a fix for this ready to roll! The patch also includes some new passing AI to help improve QB receiver targeting and running choices when pushed out of the pocket.
Hope you enjoy!
Bug Fixes
- Fixed crash when saving playbooks before saving dynasty for the first time.
- QB takes off running more often when forced outside pocket and clear path ahead instead of always throwing ball away or to a random receiver.
- QB throws harder when under pressure of getting sacked.
- QB desperate throws which causing poor receiver targeting improved.
- Updated patch notes link.
- Miscellaneous fixes and updates.
Thank you

Patch Version 1.0.0.8
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44019725/d4008da4381e9bdeb4dad0391644568c946c7aa0.png
Since we love gameplay as much as you do, we've done some tuning and fixes to help bring more immersion onto the field.
One of the things we strive for in our game is players playing differently from one another, instead of all playing identically which we all know stinks!
With this update, we made some new changes to how Quarterbacks target receivers based on their attributes. We feel this brings more disparity between teams and involves even greater strategy when building your squad.
Soft traits like Leadership, Intelligence, Winner, and more already have various impacts across the game. Now, we've taken this one step further and have given Quarterbacks a more complex sense as to how they play and what decisions they make during each and every play.
For instance, a Quarterback who is a STRONG leader, but has LOW work ethic traits will try to target their primary receiver more often since they just want to make the right call. Or a LESS intelligent, but FAST Quarterback might take off and run without looking back to put the game on his own shoulders.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44019725/780dd00bcf012cb25993869c4a7c31277f1cf247.png
There are more changes, but the goal is to think more about who you want in the driver's seat each game. This makes for some interesting roster choices and brings more life into the game.
Be sure to read below to get all of the details included in this update.
Bug Fixes
- Quarterbacks with HIGH Leadership (> 74) and LOW Work Ethic (< 25) target primary receivers more often.
- Quarterbacks with HIGH Winner (> 74) and HIGH Greed (> 74) target to best skilled receivers more often.
- Quarterbacks with HIGH Intelligence (> 74), HIGH Work Ethic (> 74), and LOW Strength (< 75) target to closest receivers more often.
- Quarterbacks with HIGH Greed (> 74) and LOW Intelligence (< 40) target to farther receivers more often.
- Quarterbacks with HIGH Speed (> 84), LOW Intelligence (< 50), and HIGH Greed (> 80) take off running more often.
- Defenders try to block passes with grab tackle more often as swatting would take them out of the play more often than not.
- Logic that determines "open" receiver softened up a bit to not throw into extra coverage so often.
- Catching success when surrounded by defenders decreased.
- Fixed issue where primary receiver doesn't block when Quarterback takes off running.
- Fixed game not prompting to save roster after accepting changes in Player Editor.
- Fixed broken 3-4 OKIE > Stoops 1 Hard play.
- Updated patch notes link.
- Miscellaneous fixes and updates.
