26K, the developer of Sunday Rivals, released a new update that brings the custom teams feature. This update now lets you fully customize the game to your desire. It includes options like changing the stadium, grass colors, individual player ratings, and even full-body equipment.
There will be new custom leagues along with the default leagues. The leagues can contain up to 8, 16, 24, or 32 teams. Also, the developer fixed a major bug where roster data loaded up incorrectly for first time players, which caused the game not to launch properly.
