Front Office Football Seven Review (PC)

I ended up buying it this morning. It is 34.99 now.

Any good mods out there?

Never mind found the link on the second page.

Man this game is amazing. I just played first regular season game. It was a defensive slugfest. It was tied 9 - 9 and the Seahawks were punting to me (Panthers). And we got a roughing the kicker penalty which gave them a first down. They consequently got into FG range and kicked a 55 yard field goal to win it.

Graphically this game has nothing but the real decisions and simulation factor is through the roof. Well worth the 35 I spent in it.

A free update to Front Office Football 7 was released this morning, adding 2014 rosters and coaches and tweaking/fixing a few outstanding issues. Details can be found by following the link in this thread: http://www.younglifenorthdekalb.com/...ead.php?t=6574

Are the rosters actually NFL rosters?

Yes real rosters.

You can also have randomly named players. I like that better actually, because you have to discover for yourself who the talented players are.

I got this game shortly after it came out and felt it was a huge letdown from the last FOF which was a game I put many hours into and was very excited when I saw this new version was coming out. The problem is that too many interceptions go for TDs, field goal kickers have far too low of accuracy on 40+ kicks regardless of their ratings, most draft picks stink and QBs underperform big time. The NFL hasn't seen passing like that since the 80s/early 90s.

The creator pretty much said he finds the real NFL's passing too video game like and not realistic so he decided to make his game....not realistic. I have no idea how someone can say real life isn't real but hey, that's what he did from a comment I saw him make about complaints of passing stats being too low.

Oh and the CPU can cheat with contracts by constantly renegotiating every single high priced player each year while my guys almost never renegotiate. I tracked a QB of a CPU team for a few years and every season he'd have the vet min for the salary with the remainder coming in a signing bonus. He'd have cap hits of 30+ mil before this and it just kept increasing and increasing yet there he was continually renegotiating pushing the salary into the next year on a perpetual basis and taking a bit more of a signing bonus each year. I also saw a team for a few consecutive seasons be 25+ mil OVER the cap and then after this renegotiating with players somehow have 15+ mil in cap room each time. That would never happen in real football.

Here's hoping the game coming from the OOTP guys will be great.
