Run your franchise.Build a dynasty.Shape history.
The Commissioner’s Office is a new indie sports franchise simulation platform. First up: Front Office Baseball — a fictional baseball GM sim built for fast seasons, smart roster decisions, and league histories that grow with every save.
Built for saves that last.
The Commissioner’s Office is designed around the parts of sports sims that keep you advancing: clear decisions, believable roster movement, evolving teams, and history that gives every season context.
- Platform
Fast Franchise Loops
Advance seasons with momentum—clear beats, readable outcomes, and space to think between decisions.
- Platform
Decision-First Management
Roster moves, contracts, and staff choices that read as strategy—not buried admin.
- Platform
History That Accumulates
League memory that compounds: awards, records, and storylines that give every year context.
First game
First up: Front Office Baseball
Take over a fictional baseball franchise and guide it through drafts, trades, contracts, free agency, injuries, playoff races, award seasons, record chases, and Hall of Fame debates. The goal is depth without turning every night into an admin-heavy spreadsheet marathon.
- Fictional league
- GM mode
- Season sim
- Roster building
- Long-save history
Inside the Front Office
Early alpha screens from the build—curated product views, not a gallery of every internal capture. Pick a feature area to preview the interface.
Small league first. Better game first.
Front Office Baseball is starting with an 8-team fictional quick-start so the first playable version can be fast, readable, and replayable. Expansion can come later. The first priority is making the core franchise loop feel honest, sticky, and worth replaying.

Scouting report
What we’re building toward
Six focus areas—described like internal design notes, not trailer beats.
Run the Front Office
01Budgets, staffing, and organizational identity—run the club, not just the lineup card.
Build Through the Draft
02Prospect timelines and picks that can quietly reset—or cement—a franchise arc.
Make the Trade
03Deals with weight: risk, windows, and roster chapters you still talk about seasons later.
Win the Winter
04Contracts and free agency that make the cold months matter for contention cycles.
Track the Legends
05Awards, records, and Hall cases that turn long saves into something worth revisiting.
Shape the League
06Texture that evolves—so the league feels lived-in, not reset every October.
Alpha status
Early alpha consolidation
The build is playable internally. The current stage is about making that experience clearer, faster to read, more replayable, and ready for outside feedback — not shipping a launch date.
The core franchise loop is already in place across season simulation, playoffs, offseason decisions, drafts, trades, contracts, free agency, injuries, prospects, awards, records, and long-save history.
External playtesting comes when the build earns it — no fixed timeline. Joining the development list means development updates and possible future playtest invitations when outside feedback makes sense — not immediate access.
- Internal prototype playable
- 8-team quick-start as product focus
- Core franchise loop established
- UX clarity, replayability, core loop tuning
- Mobile usability and playtest readiness
- External playtesting when the build earns it
