Football Bros teams: what the 64-team roster means
The team list crossed 64 with the Indiana Irish patch on 2025-11-13. Team strength is not static — Blue Wizard adjusts individual quarterbacks in patch notes, which makes roster knowledge a moving target.
The 64-team structure
Before November 2025 the roster sat at 63; the Indiana Irish pushed it to 64 and, importantly, the patch note states the change eliminated "bye weeks that caused black screens" — a stability fix as much as a content one. That makes 64 not just a count but the point where every run through a season avoids the crash state.
Team strength is patch-driven, not fixed
Three teams have documented adjustments in the current changelog: New England and Denver quarterbacks were buffed on 2025-11-13, and Chicago's was nerfed the same day. Everything else has had at least one revision since the 2024-08-04 roster refresh, when the developer rewrote rosters "with our best guesses for 2025-2026". Practical takeaway: a tier list copied from a months-old page is wrong by design.
| Team | Patch (2025-11-13) | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| New England | QB buffed | Stronger passing output |
| Denver | QB buffed | Stronger passing output |
| Chicago | QB nerfed | Reduced QB performance |
| Indiana Irish | Added | New college team, no bye-week crashes |
How to evaluate a team yourself
Because QB stats are the only lever the patch notes touch, team evaluation reduces to two checks: does the playbook fit your throwing rhythm, and is the defense AI tuned for the blitz patterns improved in August 2024 (top and bottom blitzes both got smarter that patch)? Play two Quick Play drives against the same CPU team with two different squads and the difference shows up in time-to-throw.
Frequently asked questions
Which teams got buffed or nerfed recently?
The 2025-11-13 patch buffed the New England and Denver quarterbacks and nerfed Chicago's. These are the only QB adjustments confirmed in writing.
Are college and pro teams in the same mode?
College teams were added on 2024-08-04 with "our best guesses for 2025-2026" rosters; both pools are playable, and the college pool grew to 64 teams total in late 2025.
Do rosters update during the real NFL season?
The official changelog says rosters "will continue to adjust", which in practice means occasional patches rather than weekly updates.
