Season

Schedule
The season appears to be divided into two halves. The first half is 7 weeks and the second half is 8 weeks, for a total of 15 weeks. In each half, you will play one game each against the other two teams of your division, and there will be one bye week; the rest of your schedule seems to be chosen at random.

In Dynasty Mode, trading is not allowed after the first half of the season.

Playoffs
Four teams per conference make the playoffs at the end of the season: the top team in each division, plus the team with the best record out of the teams that didn't win their division (the "wildcard" team).
