The "Ultimate" Rankings: What Madden Thinks Of Us

It’s not like Nnamdi suffered from that!

They don’t plan on releasing a PC version this year (first time they won’t I believe), so your free time is still yours!

And I don’t know if I should maybe introduce this in another thread, but has anybody ever heard of the cpu sim game called Front Office Football? I think a lot of guys here would enjoy it, as it isn’t focused on the arcade style like Madden is, and it is nowhere near the learning curve and tech specifications of EAs Head Coach game. EA actually used to have the license for FOF, but they dropped it in 2001 and it has been indie developed sice then by Solescimic Software. They no longer have permission to use NFL team names (think: Denver Mustangs) and logos, but they do use actual players names (but not actual coaches or scouts or front office personnel. I think I had some guy named Dirk Diggler coaching the Broncos, but by golly I had Cutler). They use actual cap numbers, so in theory it could be used as an interface to keep track of the cap for the broncos. You also manage your stadium (you can even move your team or build a new stadium). It has in depth free agency, draft (and another game for college football that allows you to import your draft class if you want), as well as trades, multiplayer, design your own plays and playbook, timing of team activities, etc. When you have all your ducks in a row you can simulate each weeks games, and participate at several levels, from establishing the game plan you want your assistants to execute (you can cut in any time you want if they aren’t getting it done), to individually calling every play. What you can’t do is control the players.

The game isn’t very expensive ($29 I think) and they have a free demo that lets you do everything except draft and simulate a season.

And for anyone turned off by the fact that it doesn’t have actual teams, no worries, because there are huge FOF communitites that have files you can download that update the game to have all the teams and their logos, as well as allowing you to pick up current rosters for hte teams as well as draft classes.

Everybody knows about the rolling the ball down the lane and hitting the pins part. What they might not know about is the carving your own pins and bowling balls out of rocks part. Boy, that was hard. = )

it requires a lot of aiming juice!

so I always make sure BMarsh, Eddie Royal, and Scheff have over 100 yards receiving. Cutler usually has 400 yards passing. Selvin has about 200 yards rushing…

Obviously, I only play 2-3 games in a season as I also don’t like un realistic stats like how Mike Vick always rushes for 2400+ yards and is the NFL MVP…it’s just absurd.

I create myself as the SS…it must be a Bronco fan thing, cause I have noticed many other Broncomaniacs love the S position like I do.
