A Kickstarter project for Gridiron Heroes , which is described as a "Tecmo Bowl" style MMO for Facebook, is running out of time and needs your help. The developers say they created this game to "address a void in today's social gaming scene." Now they need a small amount of money to get things going.

"There's been nothing for the American football fan," they say on the Kickstarter page. "Gridiron Heroes will change that, utilizing Facebook as the platform for the ultimate head-to-head competition in American Football GM-style Simulation."

Here’s more from the page:

In Gridiron Heroes, you take total control of your own football franchise from its inception: giving it a name, choosing your team colors, and designing your team logo. You're in charge of everything—from training your players and developing strategy and tactics, to managing your roster and even buying and selling players in the free agent market. Once you've built up your own dream team, you can join in a league and jump right into the action. We've designed the system to group Facebook friends automatically, so you won't have to worry about finding them yourself—you'll always be placed in the same league as your friends, when possible.
