Migration guide

Switching from DaddyLeagues, Dynasty Dashboard, or NeonSportz?

The most important thing to know: your franchise lives in EA, not in your league tool. There is no export to run and no migration risk — Coach Lefty reads the same EA Companion App data your current tool reads, and importing never modifies your EA franchise.

What transfers (everything EA owns)

Everything sourced from your EA franchise re-imports fresh, because it never belonged to your old tool in the first place:

  • Rosters, player ratings, and team assignments
  • Standings, schedules, and scores
  • Player and team stats for the current franchise
  • Season and week state

The import is read-only with respect to EA — it pulls data in, writes nothing back, and is safe to re-run at any time.

What doesn't transfer (honesty first)

Anything your old tool computed internally stays with that tool: its own historical archives from past seasons, tool-specific records, custom pages, or member accounts on that platform. Your EA franchise is untouched either way — but tool-native history is theirs, not EA's, and we can't import what EA doesn't have. FranchiseHQ starts building your league's history (career stats, records, rivalries, storylines) from your first import forward.

The switch, step by step

  1. Leave your current tool running. Reading EA league data isn't exclusive — nothing about installing Coach Lefty conflicts with DaddyLeagues, Dynasty Dashboard, or NeonSportz staying connected.
  2. Install the bot and run Launch Setup. The guided flow takes about 10 minutes end to end, including the Discord install and EA handoff. Start Launch Setup →
  3. Import your league from EA. Rosters, standings, schedule, season, and week pull straight from the EA league you select — read-only, re-runnable.
  4. Compare side by side. Run both tools through a real week: advance, recaps, game channels, standings. Your members can see both and weigh in.
  5. Retire the old tool when your league is ready. On your schedule — there's no cutover moment and nothing to unwind if you take your time.

Switching FAQ

Do I need to export anything from my old tool?
No. There is nothing to export — league data comes from EA, and Coach Lefty imports it fresh from the same EA Companion App source. Your old tool is not involved in the switch at all.
Can the import break my EA franchise?
No. Importing only reads EA league data. It never writes to your EA franchise, and you can re-run it safely whenever you want fresh data.
How is FranchiseHQ different from what I'm leaving?
See the full head-to-head comparison — pricing, Discord integration, AI features, web dashboard, and engagement loops for all four major tools, with dated citations and honest "unverified" hedges where we couldn't confirm.
What does it cost to try?
Nothing. The free tier is permanent — setup, a manual EA import, and browsing don't require a card. Premium ($12.99/mo or $99.99/yr per league) adds continuous sync, automation, and AI content when your league is ready.

Run them side by side. Keep the one your league opens.
