Ha! Thanks man!

# 2 JayBee74 @ 03/15/12 10:57 PM

So you'll set your strategy before the game? Like input on 3rd and 4 a 25%-75% run-pass ratio? You will have no control in selecting plays during the game?

# 3 SalvArmyMatt @ 03/15/12 11:26 PM

Yeah... this looks pretty cool! But, I totally need to call plays during the game. If I can't assume the GM/Head Coach role then I'm out.

I've been a fun of Tecmo Super Bowl since it came out. I still play it on my NES! I am so excited about this game. I'm so glad someone finally based an update on Tecmo Super Bowl. Why Tecmo has not done that is baffling. It's by far the best version!

*fan* is what I meant

Can you make 2 "separate modes"? One for GM where you don't call the plays then the other for coach and GM where you call the plays also? That would pacify most. I wish i could have given some money this project, but I couldn't. I'm glad you got your goal and am looking forward to the end result.

Mode 1 is GM-style.

As we grow, there will be many, many modes.

Mode 2 will be man vs man.

Mode 3 will be man vs com.

Mode 4, 5 & 6 could grow infinitely into what we want it to. Head Coach vs Com, Superstar mode, etc. The sky is limitless.

It sounds so awesome. Can't wait for this game!

Dave, in Mode 1 will we be able to call plays during the game, or set up play calling conditions before the game and then watch the game play out? (or don't watch the game play out)

I'm excited for this! IDK how the league set up works, but we need to create an OSers league.

# 12 mpt54 @ 03/18/12 05:49 PM

looks really fun looking forward to this

Does anyone know who to contact in order to contribute to the game? I'm a graphic design major and would love the opportunity to help the company by supplying logo designs or whatever graphic elements they may need.

Jay, no during game play-calling.

# 16 foote92 @ 03/22/12 08:00 PM

Madden has got nothing on this lol.

# 17 JayBee74 @ 03/22/12 11:38 PM

No during game play calling is interesting. I believe that was the only way to go head to head in Front Page Sports Pro 95 (a game well ahead of it's time). That was during the early days of internet, so I'm not sure how the head to head play was achieved.

"No during game play calling" is definitely NOT a game killer for me.

# 18 JayBee74 @ 03/29/12 01:18 PM

What's up with this game? Any new stuff?

# 19 jyoung @ 03/29/12 01:55 PM

My guess is they're working to get the April Beta ready for launch.

Oh yeah, that's right around the corner.

Curious what other OSers think about not being able to call plays during the game.
