The Legend Bowl and College Bowl universes collide in the all-new Draft Class Feature Pack DLC! Continue the journeys of your favorite College Bowl stars under the bright lights of the Legend Bowl football league.
Watch on YouTube
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.
