Front Office Football Seven Review (PC)

anyway of playing this on a mac?

The best way to play this on a mac is to buy a windows PC and tape an apple on it.

People play it on a mac using Parallels or one of those other emulator type programs pretty easily. I'm not a Mac guy, but I gather it works. You might want to check the forums at http://operationsports.com/fofc for more details to make sure you pick the emulator that works most seamlessly with it though.

I have some questions to any who have played this. Can you sim a full season and how long does that take? And how well does the computer take care of your team during the simmed season? Another question, how well does progression and regression along with retirement work, is it pretty well realistic to nfl/madden?

Has anybody tried running this or other similar text sims (like the wolverine or grey dog or OOTP) via a Microsoft surface pro?

I'm in the market for a tablet and if I can run sports text sims and some older games via a surface pro then I'll be purchasing it. If not, I'll be looking at a non-mac laptop to handle this and some other specific needs and stick with an iPad.

I think Bowl Bound College Football is a much better Football sim than TCY

Does this edition feature any sort of league customization akin to OOTP? Basically, could I start with a 12 team league and expand it over the years?

1. Yes, you can sim a full season. Simming straight through the Preseason, Regular Season, and Postseason games without stopping to look at any box scores/stats/etc. takes roughly 45 seconds on my machine (quad-core, 8GB RAM.)

2. The computer does a very solid job of handling your team in the simmed season. It may make some decisions that you wouldn't make, but they all seem to have a logical base.

3. Career arcs are very, very good. The developer adjusts those with every release (and sometimes even with free yearly roster updates when there's not a new release in a given fall) to match current NFL trends.
