Front Office Football 2007 Review (PC)

"Just the other day, I was cleaning out my office and I uncovered my copy of Solecismic Software’s Front Office Football: The College Years. For those of you who never got the chance to play this game, you don’t know what you missed. This was my favorite football game in 2004, and finding the game made me realize that Solecismic hadn’t released anything in a while. A funny thing happened, because a couple of days later, I had the opportunity to review Front Office Football 2007 and I jumped at it. The Front Office Football series is what got me hooked on text-based sports simulations. This game gave me a much-needed football fix during years where Madden or NFL2K was subpar. I was excited to see what the newest version would offer and I wasn’t disappointed.

Lets get this out of the way: This isn’t a graphics-based game. Front Office Football 2007 actually has fewer graphical features than other text-based football games like Grey Dog’s Total Pro Football. The graphics, menus and background are almost identical to the previous Solecismic games, and that is a bit of a disappointment. Other text-based football simulations have a stadium, customizable fields and icons that help to document the on-field action. Front Office Football 2007 doesn’t feature anything different than previous versions of Front Office Football or Front Office Football: The College Years when it comes to graphics."
