SWEET!
|
Wow.
|
First response, too! :)
Where's my cookie? |
Nice :)
|
OK, so what's the new game? :p
|
Ok, so are we still to expect another game, or is this it?
|
So no new game Jim?
|
Front Office Games as a linked URL? Is this new info, or did I miss this in the past?
|
Am I the only one who can't find the "New" or "updated" features?
|
Free, did he say free? No way. Come on new players and a new schedule that is at least worth 39.95 just ask EA they will tell ya.
Thanks Jim this is great news. I was looking for a new game to purchase but i dont think i will need to spend that money. Have a great Thanksgiving. :) |

Seems like new info to me :) |
Damn, and I missed this cuz I was in my PM box. Off to download it.
One question, though, Jim: am I going to have to restore any IHOF settings afterwards? |
The following items were fixed or added for version 5.1 of Front Office Football 2004 (the patch also includes all fixes from earlier versions):
1) Created 2004 season player file. 2) Created 2004 schedule. 3) Reversed pass rush percentage and tackle percentage labels on defensive career statistics screen. 4) Correct record-keeping of best per-game points scored average for one season. 5) Correct record-keeping of best total yardage gained and allowed for a single game. 6) Percentage of running plays now adjusted for all scenarios when coach is resetting game plans before each game. 7) Under certain penalty situations game no longer incorrectly displays drive in drive chart. 8) Penalties in play-calling mode on kickoffs where foul occurred very close to goal line no longer potentially result in next play starting from zero yard line. 9) Players released during free agency stages in multi-player game are now eligible to consider bids immediately. 10) Relevant highlighting added for players on free agency screen during multi-player game. 11) Correct assignment of visiting team's defensive front seven versus home team's blockers category in game preview screen. 12) AI gives less weight to rookie status, especially low-round rookies, when deciding who to release when it needs to release a player. 13) Changes made to depth chart AI to allow for more sensible backup choices, especially on offensive line. 14) Corrected cosmetic error in injury report email, allowing a player to be listed both as he healed and as he was almost recovered. 15) On the player salary offer screen, now shows current offer from your team in offer boxes, if there is one, during free agency period. 16) Corrected cosmetic error of some unassigned free agents appearing to come from Akron during free agency of multi-player game. 17) Grey out ability to export stage file during multi-player game when the game is open and you have already hit the export button once to create a file. In the past, this created a corrupted file. 18) Reduce the number of interceptions returned for touchdowns. 19) Add a little more slope between mediocre starters and top starters to the algorithm determining player salary requests. 20) Reduce the number of free agents considered starting material, allowing slightly better performance of salary request AI. 21) Allow fifth column of statistics to appear in FOF drafts generated from draft utility. 22) Assign the same salary to all franchise players at the same position, correcting error where first player considered at a position would bump up the average. 23) Do not show rookie ratings, pre-signing, on attribute screen. 24) Several changes in AI for determining the value of a salary offer, including more value given to bonus money and less to money offered in future years. The result of this also essentially ends the annoying habit of players to refuse any offer that doesn't exactly match their request. 25) Tweak attendance algorithm to give more weight to fluctuating factors like the interest level of the opponent. 26) Add fluctuation to weather in stadiums with a retractable roof. 27) Tie available bonus money for salary and staff offers to the team's financial performance for the year. 28) Correct interpretation of staff salaries when computing yearly coaching costs. 29) Add comments to help file about positional requirements. 30) Tweak AI for late fourth-quarter clock management. Some day, maybe in 2010, we'll get this down perfectly. 31) Add field goal percentage to calculated statistics on career, single-player and yearly statistics screens. Add a significant digit for rushing averages. 32) Eliminate ability of quarterbacks to fly down the field at lightning speed to make the tackle on an interception return. 33) Correct assignment of forced fumbles on sack plays. 34) Correct calculation of over cap rejection when making offers to free agents prior to the draft. 35) Add a "primer", allowing you to create an entirely fictional universe when beginning career with allocation draft or full draft. Pretty neat, huh? 36) Prevent AI from releasing injured players in certain situations. 37) Tweak logic used to select players during an allocation draft. 38) Create the concept of positional groups, used when calculating a legal roster, both for single-player and multi-player games. Now, for instance, you need to have eight offensive linemen active, but only a minimum of one center, two tackles and two guards. The same applies for defensive linemen, linebackers, your secondary and your offensive backfield. 39) Add the concept of an extended game log, which stores bits of additional information in the game log displayed upon request. 40) When switching a player's position between position groups, better assignment of previously unassigned attributes. 41) Correct assessment of leaders in certain categories when sorting using the career statistics screen. 42) Rewrote AI for determining which player to release when in the situation of reconfiguring a lineup because the current roster has too many players. 43) Tiny tweak to assessment of scouting error for players not on your team. 44) Lower the reward for repeated blitzes coming from the same position. Sooner or later, the offense is going to figure it out. 45) Some nagging injuries, like a pulled hamstring, should have a good chance of healing completely during the off-season. 46) Delay of game penalties should not be called in a hurry-up situation. 47) Allow third quarterback to remain in depth chart when injured and unable to play. This does not mean he will appear in a game. |
This just made my day. :D
A few questions: 1. Will current leagues (SP and MP) work ok? I assume so... 2. Is this the new game? Or is there something else on the way? Thanks again... As always, I appreciate your outstanding support of your games. |
This is it for 2004. It's been two solid months of work on the TCY and FOF updates, so I hope that buys some goodwill (and a bunch of new sales) as I prepare for the future. Exprect the next news release in mid-2005.

Great news, Jim!

We'll have a discussion at the board. |

Why, that's smack dab in the middle of baseball season. ;) |
That list of fixes/enhancements is excellent!! 47 gems. I really like being able to keep the 3QB in the depth chart even if injured. Also, the idea of positional groups is excellent!!! All of them look great :)

Yup. I'm downloading it right now so I'll have it, but I'll hold off on installation for now. |

That's good enough for me. As a current customer, I feel like I just got two free games this year. :D |

You definitely bought some goodwill from me. I can't wait to purchase your next game in 2005 :)

This is a very, very nice upgrade. It is also mirrored at the younglife server. In case you didn't realize it, the "FRONT OFFICE FOOTBALL 2004" header in the reference thread is a direct link to download the game from there.

38) Create the concept of positional groups, used when calculating a legal roster, both for single-player and multi-player games.

This may be worth the update in and of itself and get me interested, once again, in committing some time to firing up FOF. And just in time for the Thanksgiving weekend. Thanks! |

Happy happy!

Wow, this is fantastic! So many GREAT changes. Seriously, after reading the list of features & fixes, I wouldn't have a problem paying for this as if it was version 6.0.
Nice work, Jim! :D |
Jim thanks so much
i want to thank you for being honest with me and gave me the advice to wait... i going to get this game.. thanks again |

These three alone will make multi-player SOOO much better. But I must confess, I'm kind of bummed. I assumed like everyone else that a new game was on the way. Now we go back to nothing until mid-2005. Kind of a let down. Don't get me wrong, the update to TCY and FOF are fantastic, and in the hands of other developers (looking your way, EA), might have been repackaged and released as another version. Very very grateful that Jim gave this out as a free update. |
Thanks for the update, Jim. I'll have to transfer '04 over to the new computer and maybe fire up a dynasty for the fun of it. Thanks also to JAG for posting the list of fixes. I was especially amused by Jim's comments in these (emphasis mine):

|

What am I looking for? Or, what will I be looking for, once I d/l and install the thing? |
Jim... any new easter eggs in this version?
Just wondering... :D |
Is the patch a full download of the game? I'm going to use my second license to load it up.

brings a tear to my eye!

Can someone who has patched please post one of the new "extended" log files?
|
Quote:
This will be helpful, but unfortunately fullbacks are grouped with runningbacks instead of TEs, meaning we can't fill the position with any combo of 3 TE/FBs. |
i will download and buy the game when i get home from work
i not clear on what 2004 player file is? is that real players or fictional? |
Quote:
Yahoooo! AND...the HFL hasn't started the season yet!!! |
Okay real dumb question. I downloaded the file on my new laptop and the player file is not the players real names. I am pretty sure that is correct but want to verify it. The rookies and all players numbers match up with their real counterparts so i am sure someone will be creating a player file with the real names. Can someone just confirm this, thanks.
|
Thanks Jim :)
|
Thanks Jim, I'm downloading it right now, the wife has a meeting to go to tonight, you couldn't have released it at a better time.
Looking forward to your next project. |
just noticed the mp coach of the year bug wasnt included in the list. its never bothered me, though.
im actually happier to get a patch than entirely new version of the game, which would have really screwed up mp leagues. |
Simply outstanding support to make so many free, substantive changes to what was already a finished product.
In case it matters, when I see support like this, I go from a "wait and see" on future releases to a "definite buy". I've been itching to start a FOF/TCY game up again but have been waiting to see what was coming up. Time to get started! Thanks, Jim! Great stuff! |
all i gotta say is.... WOOT!!! :)

Hallelujah! The eNFL Houston Texans thank you. |
I had sent an email to Jim a few months back on behalf of The FOFL and he not only sent a nice reply, but also addressed every major concern of ours in this patch.
From all 32 of us... Thank you, Jim. |

30) Tweak AI for late fourth-quarter clock management. Some day, maybe in 2010, we'll get this down perfectly.
WOOOW we will get FOF2k10 in the future!!!!! Thanks for the free update Jim, this proves your a honest guy providing this two free updates for TCY and FOF. Let's wait for next game, but i admit i was really hopping a new TCY or FOF... |
Quote:
So much for improvement #18... ;) |
I'm not comprehending the game log change. Can someone explain?
|
Yeah... I don't see any difference in the posted log. Did it get checked 'on'?
|
Side note: I knew I should have brought my laptop with me to training today. Damnit.

Yeah, take a look at Ben's sticky on the main discussion page. Primelord has this covered. |

The player file with the update features the real players, but with fake names. Download Primelord's updated file to get the real names. Woo 900 posts! |

Oh yes. :cool: Thanks a bunch Jim, you rule! |
Hmmm... so what exactly changed in the game log? Looks identical to the old ones to me.

I just realized: financials actually mean something now! :eek: |
yeah, but my qb is super slow, so at least he wasn't able to tackle him.

That is awesome - I'm no longer guaranteed at getting the best staff. And a big thumbs up for the allocation draft. Great stuff, Jim. |
This is great!!! Can't wait to get home tonight and download it!
(Am I the only person who saw this and double checked the spelling of "Solecismic?") |
Wow! Muchas kudos Jim.
Good Will Gindin. Wicked bad! |
Glad I bought NCAA football 2004 for Xbox today. :)
An upgraded FOF for FREE?? Absolutely awesome!! Thanks Todd |
Thanks Jim. And a Happy Holidays to you and your family too!
|
Thanks for the update! I'm excited to play with it.
Jim, you are what's right within the game industry. Thanks again for everything. |

I was REALLY hoping that this mean we would get to see formations and blitzes in the game logs, so we would actually know what was going on in multiplayer games. The game log posted, however, looks exactly the same to me too. This is a great patch, no doubt. |
hell yea dude Jim's a pimp I was still playing 2004 as recently as last week, now I'm itching to get home and play some more.
|
Here is a copy of a game log with the expanded information. I have bolded the expanded info.
Code:
Game Log: Springfield at Boston. |

Edit: Never mind. It was in the play-by-play, but not in the game logs. |

Ditto...would really be nice to see if gameplanning is working or not in MP leagues. Seeing as the play-by-play tells you about formations and blitzes that there must be some way to pipe it to a file...no?? I'm sorry if that has already been brought up before...I've just never seen the issue raised...being a newbie and all!! |
Wow! I finally got my term paper done and another FOF update on the same day!
Somebody likes me. :) |
How do I get the game for free? It still wants to charge me $30.
|
Go to the Reference Thread and click on the large and bolded "Front Office 2004". It's a link to the .exe...
|
Thanks Jeeb. Thats it then? download the update and go?
|
Quote:
You need to make sure that the game is currently licensed on your PC. |
Quote:
Yup, download and install and you'll be good to go! |
Jeeb, am I reading this wrong when he said those who didnt have the game he is dropping the $30? I didnt have 2004 before and now that its installed it asks for an ID #

Stupid question, but how do I return my copy to the regular NFL teams to begin play with the new file? I was in a mp league and so my game's got all those teams set when you start a new career.
|
thanks jim......appreciate the kind gesture. Do you accept donations?
