Original 3.0 changelog:

A big update to get you through the offseason!
Added:
* Career Mode - create a new career mode game and help build a program to national fame and glory! But be warned: lackluster performances might cost you your job!
* Defensive Stats - defensive players now have stat tracking for tackles, passes defended, sacks, forced fumbles, and interceptions! They are now also eligible for the POTY and ROTY awards, as well as all-League and all-Conference teams.
* More teams - when starting a new save file, you can choose from 60 more programs to take control of!
* Stat history - you can now view a player's stats year over year from their profile. (Note: this will only work for future seasons, as previous season data is unavailable.)
* Game of the Week and Preseason Expectations - the game now generates weekly news stories for America's traveling gameday show and annual news stories for your team's preseason expectations.

Fixed:
* In hard mode, depth charts should no longer completely reset when players get injured or return from injury.
* Tutorials in-app (roster, transfers, recruiting, etc) are now much simpler.
* Game summaries and play-by-play have been reformatted to read like real-life play-by-play updates.
* Playbook descriptions have been rewritten to add more details about the bonuses they add to gameplay.
* Injured players now do not transfer because of a "lack of playing time".
