Cloud Save and Cross-Device Play
Your dynasty now follows you across every device you play on — with a simple rule for conflicts: cloud always wins.
A franchise mode is only as good as its save file. If you can lose 15 seasons of history to a browser cache clear, you'll stop trusting the game. Cloud save was the number one feature request in the v1.3 beta audit, and it shipped in the same release.
How it works
Sign in with your Diamond Legend account and your franchise starts syncing to the cloud automatically. Every meaningful change — a Sim Day, a trade, a lineup edit — debounces for 1.5 seconds and pushes to your account.
Open the app on your phone, tablet, or a different laptop, sign in, and your dynasty is right there. No import buttons, no export files, no manual sync.
The conflict rule
Conflict handling is where cloud saves usually get complicated. Do we merge? Prompt? Overwrite? We chose the simplest rule that would never lose data: cloud always wins on load.
When you open the app, we check the cloud copy first. If it's newer than your local copy, we replace local. If local is newer (you were offline), the next save pushes it up. This means:
- The last device you played on is authoritative.
- You never see a "which save do you want?" dialog.
- You can't accidentally clobber cloud state by opening an old browser tab.
What's stored
Your entire franchise: rosters, prospects, coaches, transactions, achievements, and 25 seasons of history. Nothing else — no telemetry, no gameplay behavior, no ad data tied to your save.
What's next
Cross-device sync is the foundation for a lot of things we've wanted to build: shared leagues, ambassador programs, seasonal challenges. Now that saves live in the cloud, we can start layering community features on top without asking you to trust a file on disk.
