How many players on the field in Arena football? I keep getting 11. I thought it was a smaller number. Sorry if this was answered but I didn't have the 3 hours to go through this thread. :D

Hah, when I first starting reading your post, I thought you were going to flame me. But, yes, I think it's pretty clear now that David is coding for himself and himself only. But if that's the case then you shouldn't try and charge $40 for your pipe dream. Someone at Matrix dropped the ball on this one too. Too bad because the game had a lot of potential if the person developing it actually cared about what his potential customers wanted. Hubris I tell you.

An easy way to check it would be to get in touch with F.I.U. and ask them if an . . . interesting character . . . ever worked for the radio station there. They would remember him.

Hmmm, FIU? He lives in my area. For some reason, that doesn't make me feel at ease.

spcd 03-10-2006 08:19 AM

He seems to exist prior to MF, so either he's been in deep cover waiting for his moment to strike, or he's real.

I hate to play the 'obvious' card, but I'm calling shenanigans. There is NO WAY IN HELL this clown has any sort of job in coaching, mentoring, public speaking, broadcasting, teaching, or any other sort of job that requires the use of the english language, spoken, written, or otherwise.

I refuse to believe that the bar somewhere has been set so low as to see this person gainfully employed, much less a public-facing one.

I think that I agree with you, but if you look at his "resume," you can see how a lot of it may be puffery and not actual employment.

a former sports talk show host (especializing in FootBall)--THIS COULD SIMPLY MEAN THAT HIS UNIVERSITY ALLOWED ANY STUDENT WHO PAID AN ACTIVITY FEE TO HAVE A "SHOW" AND RAMBLE IN FRONT OF THE STUDENT RADIO MICROPHONE FOR A HALF HOUR.

Intramural FootBall Referee at Florida International University--WHERE I WENT TO SCHOOL THEY WERE DESPARATE FOR REFS. I COULD SEE HIM GETTING THIS JOB.

former youth and high school football player and Coach--MAYBE ANYONE WHO TRIED OUT GOT ON THE TEAM. AND MAYBE THE COACH LET HIM HOLD A CLIPBOARD, MAKING GW A FELLOW "COACH."

And, he never said for how long he held any of these jobs before he was dismissed.

Passacaglia 03-10-2006 09:00 AM

That answerbag link is hilarious -- especially when he asks questions, gets answers, then comments that the answer is wrong, or that's not what he was asking.

I never seen depositing money into a ATM. It is actually possible??

If it is possible, I could not see how the bank could know who deposited the counterfet money, into a ATM. Yes, the are computer records kept, amounts are recorded (maybe exact bills) and video record; however, unless that is the only bill of that exact amount it would be impossible to tell who deposited it. Even fingerprints is no use, when it gets handled inside the bank and other people, before depositing.

Small college radio may not exactly set the bar too high, and it looks like he was removed fairly quickly from it in the thread Antmeister posted. There's also the chance that the work he does/has done is exagerrated, or confined to his own language.

He might be partially, or completely crazy, but I don't think he's fake

EagleFan 03-10-2006 02:15 PM

Okay, I tried an arena game and here are some of the results. I coached.


I only got through one quarter as I just couldn't take it anymore.

The score was 38-14 at the end of the 1st quarter. I had 4 touchdowns, 2 field goals and 2 safeties. I just ran random plays basically so I wan't taking advantage of any super plays.

One of the safeties was after the opposing quarterback was tackled on their one yard line (at least that's what the graphics showed).

On three occasions the quarterback was hit and looked to fumble the ball but the game ruled it incomplete. These incomplete passes showed up nowhere in the stats.

On one occasion it was 2nd and 10 for the opponents and they ran a running play that went for a 2 yard loss. A 5 yard penalty was called and was marked off from the end of the run and it became 1st and 7. Are the rules different in Arena ball or is this a bug?

On one play my receiver was heading down the sideline for a would be touchdown with no one around him and suddenly decided to take a sharp right out of bounds at the opponents 5.

I don't know the deal with the graphics but the "safeties" don't seem to respond to anything until about 3 seconds after the snap. In one case they didn't move until my running back was past them.

On other occasions, players have kind of materialized to make a tackle.

There seems to be no net used in this version and kickoffs past the end zone result in a touchback.

My running back had 150 yards in the 1st quarter and I was well on pace for over 1000 yards of offense in the game. I am not familiar with AFL but that seems extreme, even for them. (Plus being on pace to score 152 points)

From what I read at the forums, the indoor game is not the AFL and that is why you don't see the nets. And did you download the patch, by the way. Not saying it would improve the game much, but it will be interesting to see what changes were focused on. It really is sad this is going to be pressed to CD pretty soon.

the indoor game isn't the AFL,
the pro game isn't the NFL,
the college game isn't the NCAA,

AND

the canadian game isn't even the CFL...
