Holy Crap!! I count 3 brand new football text sims ready to hit the market.
The long drought is almost over. You had better start saving your Penny's now.
Maximum Football -- Any hour Now! Football Mogul 2006 -- Any Day Now!! Bowl Bound College Football -- Any week now!!! Looks like all 3 of these game will be hitting the market around the end/beginning of the month and they all feature online multiplayer leagues. Try to work that into your schedule. ![]() Last edited by WrongWay : 09-15-2005 at 07:35 AM. |

Has anyone had a chance to download the free Beta version of Football Mogul 2006 and put some hours into it?
http://www.sportsmogul.com/vbulletin...9&postcount=48 I will probably give it a go this weekend. I tried the '03 version and did not go back for the '05 version. Who knows, maybe the 3rd generation of this series will be the one that hits the spot. |

I'm sorry if this rubs someone the wrong way, but with 3 products about to hit the marketplace, Jim should announce his next game and the timeframe for releasing it. Otherwise, he risks losing sales and customers to these other products.

And before that it was promised weeks and weeks ago, and before that months ago...
...I'm actually interested in the game, but I think the most prudent approach is to actually believe it when we see it. If we see it, that is. Last edited by QuikSand : 09-15-2005 at 06:55 AM. |

As far as Bowl Bound College Football you have got to be wondering if Jim will once again Outstage this Guy with a well timed release of TCY 2.
That could cause some people out there to start thinking about Jim having a hidden camera when you look back at the TPF vs FOF2004 realease dates. |

Stop it.
I just opened the game and vicks rating are nothing like this. Also, I quick simmed a season and had 3 QBs with over 4,000 yards. I was using the hardest difficulty setting and played in simulation mode. |

There is only one for now:
Bowl Bound College Football Football Mogul shouldn't be mentioned unless it's with backyard football.. and even then you're being an ass to Atari. Maximum football doesn't have a career mode, at least I don't think and appears on the surface to be a FPS replica without all the features - and DON'T EVER compare yourself to the FPS series. ![]() That's like comparing Bulger to Bradshaw.

I think we all know that, but it is advertising itself as a strong sim game (even if it doesn't have a career mode) so it got lumped in with the others.

There is a lot more to a football game than just simulated season stats. From what I've heard, the trade AI in Football Mogul 2006 (yes the latest beta) is a joke. |

Sorry, but after the twin debacles of the original FM and the BM series, I wouldn't give Clay another dime of my money - ever. Also, while you're posting that the stats are fine, others are posting screenshots that suggest the exact opposite. |

I'm going "on a hunch" per say.. and that last sentence, first paragraph makes your post lose all credibility as far as I'm concerned. Are you kidding me? Sorry, I'll stay away from anything "Mogul" for now. I've already lost money on BM no need to throw more money away. |

It is still in beta...but based on Baseball Mogul, I wouldn't expect dramatic improvement on the realism front...
Of course, I found BM a fun little game despite some of the well-documented (and valid) problems. I'll probably download the demo and check out FM, but my expectations for football games are generally much higher than baseball since I'm not really a baseball fan. |

I think that screenshot is from one of the earliest beta's, so it could and hopefully has improved since then. Quick side note what is the difference between then and than? Is it just tense? |

I believe that screen shot was from an earlier FOFC thread from about 3 weeks ago. Also, as I keep pointing out, don't forget to put the game in "Simulation" mode. I would assume this would have somethinbg to do with the stats.
I have no idea on how the trade or finances work in the game. And, I won't even talk about the combination of trading for money??? |

Ok, I misread your statement. I agree with you that the trading model in Football Mogul seems idiotic and therefore not worth checking out the rest of the game (including those sim stats.) Of course, that is just my opinion.

I'll play replay football before FM, just not even worth the time.

I find FOF's trade AI to be a bitch during the draft. And count me as another one who's pretty much given up on the BM/FM series of games.
BM was fun way back in the day, but since switching to OOTP, it just doesn't compare.
