Fame is an overall measure of the amount of notoriety your player has received during his career.

You will earn fame points for each game your player plays, as long as he as at an appropriate level for the league he is in. Fame points are also accumulated by winning trophies, and performing exceptionally well in closely matched games.

Check out the Leagues page. Recommended levels are listed there.

Recommended levels are updated every few days, and are based on the median levels of players currently in the league.

The further you are outside of the recommended levels, the less fame you will receive, up to and including receiving zero fame. It is much worse to be too high than too low of a level, however.

Certain veteran abilities require a minimum fame level to unlock, higher amounts of fame will raise your minimum salary requirement, and at various times throughout the season, players from each team will be awarded endorsement deals. Higher fame increases your chances of getting a local endorsement deal.

Possibly. The current version of fame is the base idea we have come up with. We're always up for suggestions you think might be cool, and we have a few other things we'd like to do as well.

It is a calculation of Most Valuable Player.

They are based on a variety of calculations involving player statistics. Overall stats, contribution to the team's output, and comparison to other players at the same position are all taken into account to arrive at a final ranking.

Global ranking is based only on your overall stats. Since league MVP calculations are based on a combination of different factors, it is possible to see this happen from time to time.

Stats gained from blowout wins vs underleveled and CPU teams are given reduced weighting in MVP ranking calculations.

Your player will get an MVP trophy, and will be awarded a Corporate level endorsement at the end of the season.

Every few in-game weeks, sponsors will award endorsement deals via a sort of lottery to players on each team. The size and type of deal depends on what level the league is.

You get a cash bonus, and will be awarded a unique piece of equipment designed for your position, bearing the name of the company who awarded it. This piece of equipment goes in a special "endorsement" slot, and is removed when your endorsement period expires.

You will receive a PM alert that your player has received an endorsement deal.

There are three types of endorsements:

- Corporate: These endorsements are from the cream of the crop top companies in the region. These endorsements will be awarded to the winners of each conference's MVP race, at the end of the season on day 40. They will remain awarded to these players until the next season's day 40.
- National: These are endorsements from national companies. They are awarded on day 16 of each season to one player per team, selected randomly amongst the top 5 players on the team, ranked by MVP standings. They last until season end.
- Local: These are endorsements from local companies. They are awarded every 8 days (day 8, day 16, day 24, day 32) to two players on each team (one if they already have a Corporate endorsed player), selected randomly via a lottery based on fame earned so far that season. Higher fame earned gives a higher chance of being selected in the lottery.

No, it will be removed. The cash is yours to keep, however.

A player may only have one endorsement deal at a time. The highest level endorsements outrank the lower level endorsements, so you will not lose out on a Corporate endorsement for a Local endorsement, for instance.

A team can only have 3 endorsements active at a time. If a team has more than 3 when a game simulation is run, 3 endorsements will be chosen at random to be active, and the others will be disabled. If you would like to make sure the endorsements you want are active, make sure extra players remove their endorsement items.

When endorsements are processed, a team will be skipped over if it already has 3 endorsements, or its players will be awarded endorsements until the team reaches the limit of 3. More than 3 will never be awarded to a single team.
