This may be worth the update in and of itself and get me interested, once again, in committing some time to firing up FOF. And just in time for the Thanksgiving weekend. Thanks!

This will be helpful, but unfortunately fullbacks are grouped with runningbacks instead of TEs, meaning we can't fill the position with any combo of 3 TE/FBs.

i not clear on what 2004 player file is?

Yahoooo! AND...the HFL hasn't started the season yet!!!

Okay real dumb question. I downloaded the file on my new laptop and the player file is not the players real names. I am pretty sure that is correct but want to verify it. The rookies and all players numbers match up with their real counterparts so i am sure someone will be creating a player file with the real names. Can someone just confirm this, thanks.

[Danny]

Thanks Jim

[Cap Ologist]

Thanks Jim, I'm downloading it right now, the wife has a meeting to go to tonight, you couldn't have released it at a better time.

Looking forward to your next project.

[Pyser]

just noticed the mp coach of the year bug wasnt included in the list. its never bothered me, though.

im actually happier to get a patch than entirely new version of the game, which would have really screwed up mp leagues.

[Godzilla Blitz]

Simply outstanding support to make so many free, substantive changes to what was already a finished product.

In case it matters, when I see support like this, I go from a "wait and see" on future releases to a "definite buy".

I've been itching to start a FOF/TCY game up again but have been waiting to see what was coming up. Time to get started!

Thanks, Jim! Great stuff!

[Havok]

all i gotta say is.... WOOT!!!

[SplitPersonality1]

42) Rewrote AI for determining which player to release when in the situation of reconfiguring a lineup because the current roster has too many players.

Hallelujah!

The eNFL Houston Texans thank you.

[Subby]

I had sent an email to Jim a few months back on behalf of The FOFL and he not only sent a nice reply, but also addressed every major concern of ours in this patch.

From all 32 of us...

Thank you, Jim.

Great stuff, Jim, thank you.

Very very grateful that Jim gave this out as a free update.

I'd be fibbing if I didn't admit the same thing. I really had my heart set on TCY2. Ah, well.

[Icy]

30) Tweak AI for late fourth-quarter clock management. Some day, maybe in 2010, we'll get this down perfectly.

WOOOW we will get FOF2k10 in the future!!!!!

Thanks for the free update Jim, this proves your a honest guy providing this two free updates for TCY and FOF.

Let's wait for next game, but i admit i was really hopping a new TCY or FOF...

So much for improvement #18...

[WSUCougar]

I'm not comprehending the game log change. Can someone explain?

[Celeval]

Yeah... I don't see any difference in the posted log. Did it get checked 'on'?

[Celeval]

Side note: I knew I should have brought my laptop with me to training today. Damnit.

Yeah, take a look at Ben's sticky on the main discussion page. Primelord has this covered.

i not clear on what 2004 player file is?

is that real players or fictional?

The player file with the update features the real players, but with fake names. Download Primelord's updated file to get the real names.

Woo 900 posts!

27) Tie available bonus money for salary and staff offers to the team's financial performance for the year.

31) Add field goal percentage to calculated statistics on career, single-player and yearly statistics screens. Add a significant digit for rushing averages.

35) Add a "primer", allowing you to create an entirely fictional universe when beginning career with allocation draft or full draft. Pretty neat, huh?

38) Create the concept of positional groups, used when calculating a legal roster, both for single-player and multi-player games. Now, for instance, you need to have eight offensive linemen active, but only a minimum of one center, two tackles and two guards. The same applies for defensive linemen, linebackers, your secondary and your offensive backfield.

47) Allow third quarterback to remain in depth chart when injured and unable to play. This does not mean he will appear in a game.

Oh yes.

Thanks a bunch Jim, you rule!

[Daimyo]

Hmmm... so what exactly changed in the game log? Looks identical to the old ones to me.

[Pyser]

27) Tie available bonus money for salary and staff offers to the team's financial performance for the year.

I just realized: financials actually mean something now!

[Cap Ologist]

yeah, but my qb is super slow, so at least he wasn't able to tackle him.

That is awesome - I'm no longer guaranteed at getting the best staff.

And a big thumbs up for the allocation draft.

Great stuff, Jim.

[BigJohn&TheLions]

This is great!!! Can't wait to get home tonight and download it!

(Am I the only person who saw this and double checked the spelling of "Solecismic?")

[Bonegavel]

Wow! Muchas kudos Jim.

Good Will Gindin. Wicked bad!

[MizzouRah]

Glad I bought NCAA football 2004 for Xbox today.

An upgraded FOF for FREE?? Absolutely awesome!!


Thanks

Todd

[scooter]

Thanks Jim. And a Happy Holidays to you and your family too!

[cwilloughby]

Thanks for the update! I'm excited to play with it.

Jim, you are what's right within the game industry.

Thanks again for everything.

[yabanci]

39) Add the concept of an extended game log, which stores bits of additional information in the game log displayed upon request.

I was REALLY hoping that this mean we would get to see formations and blitzes in the game logs, so we would actually know what was going on in multiplayer games. The game log posted, however, looks exactly the same to me too.

This is a great patch, no doubt.

[korme]

hell yea dude Jim's a pimp I was still playing 2004 as recently as last week, now I'm itching to get home and play some more.

Right, and for those of us who sim our games, it is a *very* nice addition to be able to get that information.

This is a great patch, no doubt.

Ditto...would really be nice to see if gameplanning is working or not in MP leagues.

Seeing as the play-by-play tells you about formations and blitzes that there must be some way to pipe it to a file...no?? I'm sorry if that has already been brought up before...I've just never seen the issue raised...being a newbie and all!!

[duckman]

Wow! I finally got my term paper done and another FOF update on the same day!

Somebody likes me.

[Noble_Platypus]

How do I get the game for free? It still wants to charge me $30.

[JeeberD]

Go to the Reference Thread and click on the large and bolded "Front Office 2004". It's a link to the .exe...

[Noble_Platypus]

Thanks Jeeb. Thats it then? download the update and go?

You misread it.

Stupid question, but how do I return my copy to the regular NFL teams to begin play with the new file? I was in a mp league and so my game's got all those teams set when you start a new career.
