In the spirit of Thanksgiving and being thankful in this regard for not spending money on this POS here are some links for people who ate too much turkey and can not move and yet want to be entertained.

I don't have Thanksgiving here this week, but excellent.

I just don't understand.

To paraphrase Sir Fozzie:

This game is made of awful and fail.

Two things I loved from those links. You can customize how 'bouncy' the ball is, which totally makes up for players standingaround after the ball is snapped, IMO. Next, I love how one guy said he may buy several copies of version 3, so he can give some as gifts. Oh how lucky that mans family is!

Could be a brilliant strategy, if the gifts are involved in a "gift stealing" game. Once opened, no one is going to take MF away from those people, thus eliminating them from the pool of potential gift stealers.

:D

My favorite link is the one to the dirty uniforms. I love how you can customize the way one team gets mud on the jerseys while the other one can have uniforms impervious to dirt. What an awesome feature!

So, is version 3 going to be 1.6 or 2.0?

I love how the "field" is muddy, but the endzones are completely green.

I'm not even sure if I still use the value from the database anymore.

I believe changing it to 5 would result in many bad things happening. It's not something I've tried. In most situations, it would probably just default to 4 downs. But I think the odds are high that the game would crash at some point.. or at the very least, do very bad things

hahahahahahahahaha

I guess he loads the graphics at stately Wayne Manor.

Elasticity is awesome. Imagine how punts would land with maximum elasticity. Now if only I could increase the number of downs to 10 and the gameplay made any kind of sense, I might get this game!

I would also like to make it so that if the ball bounces just one time, a pass can still be a completion or interception.

I'm really not the ha><><0rZ type, but I really want to own this game without, you know, buying it.

What ever happened to the copy digamma bought off of eBay?

Wow! how did we miss this!

From Wikipedia

Is it really an easter egg if it also happens spontaneously? I hear if you set the jersey name field to P. Tudors all of the players turn into nude Kathy Griffins that mud-wrestle on the grass field that is supposed to be muddy.

That might be the same one.

The Far Side cows don't chew their cud. Otherwise, they are the same.

P.S. Imagine the post-count havoc that Bubba could cause if he were to delete this thread!

I've got inside info that this scenario will never be allowed to happen.

I can already tell this is going to supply many hours of enjoyment. I just got through the first link to find out why you can't hand a ball off to a WR...

"The defense would also need the ability to Line Up On: and Key: the WR in order to combat reverses and end around plays. "

Is it just me, or shouldn't the defense going after the ball be enough to combat a reverse? If every defensive back is keying on a different receiver...wouldn't they all go after a ball carrier anyway?

Sounds like a great way to defend the reverse to me!

No...I would lose a tenth of my posts. Besides, I believe Skydog prevented this from happening.

Thats funny...I read the same one and was thinking the exact same thing.

I guess it would take a complete rewrite to get the defenders to "chase the guy with the ball".

I think there was once a time where some doubted this thread would surpass 50 pages.

I'm buying three copies of this game, but i'm not giving them as gifts, I'm keeping them for myself!!! MUHUHAHAHAHAHAHAWWW!

Promotional video available and they even have a high definition version:

THE TACKLING IS AMAZING!! CAN I GET THAT GAME PLEEEZZ?

Next thing you know, they are gonna brush off all of those comments as all being posted by FOFCers.

:D

HAW HAW - I like that a good percentage of users don't believe the game is real. If only it were true...

QBs sure get sacked a lot in that game.

Haha! This comment is so true:
"the animation doesn't feels right compared to the speed they're running:P"

And there's one tackle where they both look like they're just falling down.

Best quote.

"Is this for the PS1?"

I like the play where the running back assumes a blocking pose, with no defender anywhere near him.

I wonder if the framerate in the video has an impact on the plays. I'm gonna try playing the video on a faster machine, and maybe the play in the snow will result in a rouge.

One of my favorite quotes is this:

I was wondering what he was talking about until I played the video again.



LOL!

I bet you can customize the condom.

u guys are sickos

preverts

I have no idea what you are talking about so here is gorilla.bas widescreen edition

That is . . . just tremendous.

My favorite quote so far is

gem #2

I played this a lot back in the day...

Some Operation Sports folks seem interested in getting some Maximum Football Action!

If they were smart, they would price this at 19.99 and I bet they would get a lot more sales, even from people who just beleive in helping out independent developers.

how many times have i said that? it's not the game that's wrong (well, partly), it's the price. at the price it goes for people have higher expectations. for $19.99 i might consider buying it.


i said consider.
