Backyard gridiron manager
This will be a gridiron (American football) management game where you look of a bunch of stats and numbers and performance metrics for players, form a roster by balancing offense and defense stats and then watching your team play football against bot-controlled teams. You cheer when your team scores and you cry when they don't.
Between games and seasons, you sift through key statistics. You look for the winners and weed out the under-performers. The bot teams are doing the same. Can you out-roster the competition and win season after season.
