LOL!!! There are surely a number of ghosts from the FOFC past.

Okay this is nuts! This thread has half as many views as the reference thread. This thread has to win some type of award or something.

This is my first post since two years but I have been following this forum and Matrix Max FB forum. I could not have laughed more yesterday with the posts in here.

I will try Max FB, I will try NFL HC (if both are ever available) but I don´t believe any football game will beat FOF, simply the best. While everyone at Matrix was cutting their veins because the game was not out I was playing FOF and winning back to back FOF championships.

On a serious note, Mrs. Winter needs some help. She reminds me of Angie Stallings. In fact David reminds me of Joe. She comes sweeping in when everyone starts bashing the crap out of him.

Now my wife, she simply tries to ignore the fool i make of myself on the internet. She sure as heck isn't going to blindly defend me when I'm being an asshole/troll.


Wintervalley Software and Joe Stallings Present ----- Total Pro Maxium Tournament Football without the Option Dreams.

Now that would be a classic.

Wow! This game even caused long time lurkers to start posting after two years. You must post more often sir. I don't want to see you get banned for one wrong word. :p

This thread is missing an Antmeister parody song. Of course, perhaps he's holding it back for the release... :D

that's ok, FOFC isn't about football anymore than microsoft is about tiny cushiony products.

Please post your impressions (assuming it's ever released). I was going to buy it, but now? No way.

I also posted for the first time in two years mostly because TCY soured me that FOF was going toward a no fun football Tamagotchi. I don't think anyone is expecting MaxFB to be an upgrade to FBPro98 or have the depth of FOF. But MaxFB gives those of us who want a coaches game a hope, at least better than Division Rivals.

Man you must really be desperate.

Now they are saying the Thursday release will not be earlier than Friday, and to expect Monday...

Cue Benny Hill music.

why can't they just say "it'll be released in a week", and if it's ready by monday then at least they can surprise their "customers" (quotation marks cuz i don't think anyone is gonna be buying this)? why continually set your customers up for disappointment. if i was a developer i'd always give my followers the worst-case scenario and then beat that date by a wide margin.

we call that "under promise and over deliver" around here :)

They seem to have it the other way around though: "over promise and under deliver?" :D

FM

Instead of going gold, they should call it "going gold-pressed latinum" or something equally fictional.

"Sir, Maximum Football...she's gone plaid."

"Keep coding @sshole!"

:D

A full weekend of tension, infighting, and ridicule, oh, my! This thread may yet catch up to the reference thread as most viewed by then. :)

Welcome back druez.. ;)

I must admit I find it somewhat amusing that a relatively large percentage of the posters on the Maximus Football board own the book "Football for Dummies". :D

KWhit, I will let you know but believe me I rather keep reading the forums with all the jokes than getting the game. It has been so much fun. Every time they delay the game another day it means more jokes and more fun to me.

As I said before I am curious about the game, I mean something that took 5 years to develop is a MUST PLAY game however I do not believe anyone will reach the standars of Jim and FOF. No pair of games have I enjoyed more than FOF and TCY.

This is gonna get ulgy....er

The UIC on that board is just incredible. :D

I had such an urge to post "several" right after that post.

The above people all took today off to play maxifootball.

:D

Dammit....i forgot to exclude myself.:)

Only Chuck Norris knows the answer, because he's the only person that can count to that number. And he did it twice.

:D

Don´t worry bbor I am at work so count me out hehehe. I would not have been able to finish my bachelor if I would have waited for the game to be released.

I actually think it's more funny to look at the active users on the MF forum...


We've got a strong FOFC influence over there today... :D

Anyone want to play in my ferengi league? I think the biggest thing we need to worry about it how many wormholes to have on the field..

Lay off, Bee. That guy went out of his way to put that apostrophe there.

Or maybe he misplaced the question mark, and left out an exclamation point. Example:


:D

No I took the day off to read this thread. :p

I actually did take today off, but it was because I had 2 finals to take today. Not to play some piece of crap buggy game I used to play 10 years ago with no bugs and NFL rules. :D

(good catch on the mbMike username. Did you know that was a psuedonym of Dutch?)

From the Matrix boards:


I weep for humanity...

I still am stunned that they will not release a demo of the game for folks to try first before buying.

For a company even the size of Matrix Games, a demo would show whatever proposed strengths the game has, as well as (to the experienced sports sim fans) the obvious flaws and shortcomings. For the beta project to NOT be using a licensed installer during the beta process is tantamount to bad alpha/beta testing. You have to test your installer LONG before the game is to be released, so any configuration issues are resolved.

Up to this point, I was like a few people believing the problem was mostly Winters' fault, and Matrix having to clean up what they were brought. (Still strong possibility) But I believe that Matrix was not prepared for a product like this, since their previous experience with PureSim Baseball was so smooth, and Sullivan knows his coding very well, and brought a complete project to Matrix's stable.

But for testing to continue for what is presented as simple fixes after gold standard is announced, for a process that should have been tested all along during the beta session, is Matrix Games' fault. There can be no excuse for this kind of slipshod testing this late in the proposed game release.

I will definitely be watching this thru the weekend to see if they can get the fires put out.

I didn't know it was you, but it pretty obvious that it was someone from here... ;)

Dola-

And our presence strengthens!


12 out of the 28 users over there are FOFCers!

I wonder who the other 11 donkeydongs are.

If they would just come out and say "this game will be released this century" they wouldn't have to keep pushing back the deadline.

And this will be the 2nd most viewed thread by the end of this weekend.

Har!

Oh, and TCDale=hoosierdude, Jeebs.

Who is donkeydong?

Oh yeah, that post. :)

Har!

Aha! I knew the name from somewhere (OOTP boards?) but I had forgotten that he's here as well... :o



Smurfy...

Woohoo!

I'm not surprised at all.

Speaking of the OOTP boards, has anyone checked over there to see what they're saying about MaxiFootball.

Dean Houston in the hizzouse.
