How It Works
The 2026 official FAQ removes the earlier 30-season play limit, allowing the organization to continue indefinitely.
The visible historical record retains the most recent 30 years. Long-term saves therefore continue beyond the displayed historical window.
Unlimited play changes roster planning: succession is not a one-time rebuild but a permanent organizational responsibility.
Manager Priorities
- Use Hall of Fame and historical records to preserve the identity of long saves.
- Avoid sacrificing every future season for one short competitive window.
- Create repeatable standards for drafting, development, and staff succession.
Common Management Mistake
Assuming the save ends after 30 seasons can lead to unnecessary short-term decisions based on an obsolete limit.
