  • Archetype: each Archetype has its own unique Physical Abilities.
  • Mental Abilities: These activate when completing objectives. Some are available to all positions, while others are exclusive to certain Archetypes.
  • School: The school you choose is based on the offers you get when answering questions about your player. On signing day, you can join as a Starter, Second String, or Bench. If a school doesn't offer you a scholarship, you can choose to walk on.
