Front Office Football Central - Maximum Football???

This statement here is worse than any of your attempts to defend MF. You do realize that this is the forum that sports sim developers post info because it is widely regarded as an unbiased forum for sports sims?

I have no idea what made you reach the point where you decided to become a forum rules expert and tell the mods how things should be run here, but if you're going to come here with some of the comments made today you can expect this thread to get a whole lot uglier than it is now and it will have nothing to do with Maximum Football, regardless of what you might think.

Anyone a West Wing fan? Season 3, episode 18 (i believe)- Josh defends himself on "Lemon-Limon.kom" (not sure if .com would look like a real link) I see a correlation here. Josh has someone post to "clarify" and then when the can gets opened, he cannot stay away and gets into even deeper doo-doo...

After all I have read in the 6000+ posts, I think that it is best to post to be in the count, then move on. This certainly is some good humor- thanks to all who have contributed their share (:

Everyone is entitled their opinion, right?

Madden is to MF as MS Paint is to Photoshop.

From Daivd himself:

Quote:

I understand that the game can be intimidating to players used to other titles. I've seen similar comments mentioned before. The key thing to keep in mind is that while the games you mention might be 'easier', they don't provide the ability or flexibility Maximum-Football does. The best analogy I've heard is the comparison between Microsoft Paint and Photo Shop. Yes, both draw pictures and Photo Shop has a steeper learning curve, but in the end, you can do far more with Photo Shop than you can with MS Paint. Maximum-Football is the same way

Other people should take the hobby approach instead of treating this as simply a game.

2)This guy doesn't exactly have the kind of experience in releasing several versions of good simulation titles that the best sport sim developers do. Whats the point of the product supposedly appealing as something like FOF+Madden if the simulation is way worse than the latest FOF?

I would think there is a high chance that this game is bad FOF + bad Madden with more customability. I said something similiar before, who cares if you can play with 6 quarters on a 140 yard field if the game is subpar in the more important aspects?

Depending on your definition of "just", this was posted just over 2 years ago and the question still isn't answered by MF.

That is a quote from an ex-football coach who is a fan of old college football.

Here is the complete quote in context:

Quote:

I've been on the beta test team since 2003 and I have to say it has been fun. I look at MaxFB almost as a hobby, not a game. I enjoy doing uniform art- I use Paint Shop Pro 4 & 6. But for me, the real fun is with the PDS. I have set my plays and playbooks up to emulate the play style of the 40's up through the early 60's- ground pounding, clouds of dust, caveman football. I have the single wing, Notre Dame box formation and old T along with the 6-2 defense. The scores aren't very high but it's still fun. I also have done extensive work with editing player ratings to see their effect on game play. I have been able to get very good results- realistics scores and stats.

So yes, I'd say give MaxFb a try.

Nice...except that YOU CAN'T GIVE MaxFB A TRY. You have to shell out $50 to buy the game.

Sigh...ponderous.

Toddzilla, I think you would have to agree that the following message pretty much sums up our interpretation of Marauders' shenanigans.

Here is the complete quote in context:

I guess that's my problem Marauders. One of my hobbies is gaming. I don't have a single GAME that's a hobby.

I suppose that could change if one game was so consuming that it got its hooks in me and didn't let go. (like maybe how WOW is to some people)

But to have a hobby for a single game that causes me to put in hours and hours just so I can get realistic stats? Forget it. There are other games I'll spend time on. When you think MaxFB is a game worthy of me calling it a hobby, let me know where I can pick the demo up and I'll give it a shot. Now? Sorry, it's not close.
