Rob Moore @robmoore.tech · 01/07/2026Google is asleep at the wheel with their MCPs. Like what is this? I'm not doing all that Such a massive opportunity since their adwords and analytics UIs are overly complicated. Sheets + docs feels like table stakes now. Opportunity afoot 000

Rob Moore @robmoore.tech · 07/06/2026This game is a labor of love. My goal is to build a game that's as textured and rewarding to play as it is to build.

Rob Moore @robmoore.tech · 07/06/202611. It's a game, so it should feel like one Sports are great because they make us feel nostalgic and comfort. Conveying that was paramount for me. I leaned hard into a 16-bit style featuring team logos and colors everywhere I could To my own surprise, I love playing with the volume on 110
Rob Moore @robmoore.tech · 07/06/202610. Tune the difficulty based on real players To make every point matter, I added decimal point expected wins, like 16-65 - 0.35, instead of rounding. After launch, I added playoffs against all-time great teams for based on real player data. Only the top 0.1% win the Super Bowl 100
Rob Moore @robmoore.tech · 07/06/20269. Make it sting, but in a good way I show the "right answer" for every board It's oddly satisfying to see how you could have flipped a board completely on its head to gain a few points. 100
Rob Moore @robmoore.tech · 07/06/20268. Learn while playing I want people to get better as they play, and learn a bit about football. I added a "scouting" feature that you can use once per game to view the top players for a given team/position. 100
Rob Moore @robmoore.tech · 07/06/20267. Five leaderboards, each to tell you how you're doing in a new way 1. Daily Challenge Leaderboard 2. Per-Team leaderboards 3. Estimated record leaderboard (adjusted for team schedule) 4. Skill leaderboard - what's your average % of optimal drafted 5. Champion leaderboard - best overall rosters 100
Rob Moore @robmoore.tech · 07/06/20266. Unique Daily Challenge A wordle-esque game where everyone plays as the same team and draws the same era assignments and team sequence. It's the main CTA if you haven't played it yet, and secondary if you have More to come here soon 100
Rob Moore @robmoore.tech · 07/06/20265. Hand-grading player ratings I'm a stathead. I tried everything to automate grading. But to get this right, I hand graded the top 50 players. For the rest, I built an AV-esque metric based on stats + awards. 100
Rob Moore @robmoore.tech · 07/06/20264. Base it on real 2026 team schedules Instead of a generic schedule, you select to play as a specific team. - Your first pick is guaranteed to be from that team - You play against their real 2026 schedule Each team schedule has a different difficulty rating, and its own leaderboard. More texture 100
Rob Moore @robmoore.tech · 07/06/20263. Make it accessible for casual fans but with depth for enthusiasts I added player eras, which randomly assigned to 3 position slots each round. The eras are biased toward recent years. "Historic" is pre-1995, limiting difficulty. Add texture and variability without the frustration 100
Rob Moore @robmoore.tech · 07/06/20262. Filling a roster should feel complete without being frustratingly stringent There are 22 starters on an NFL team, and anywhere between 9 and 13 unique positions. I landed on QB + RB + 2x WR + TE + 2x Front 7 + DB 2x Front 7 (DEs, DTs, LBs) in particular was a great addition 100
Rob Moore @robmoore.tech · 07/06/20261. A Recall exercise, not a slot machine In 82-0 (below), you pick from players in a list. I think half the fun is testing your ball knowledge, and want to push players to recall, without being tedious Solution: Load all the possible inputs for a given slot client side and match on 3+ characters. 110
Rob Moore @robmoore.tech · 07/06/2026The game I released 36 hours ago has been played more than 50,000 times. It's called "NFL 17-0". The premise is simple, based on NBA 82-0, where you try to assemble a perfect roster. These are the game-design decisions I think make all the difference: 100
