Alright Boyz, Here We Go!!!! (FOF2K7 Thoughts...)
 

It's out ... downloading now!

W00T!

34% down, 66 to go

I get a "page not found" error. It took my money, but I can't get a download.

Wah!

Real names included in release version. Will be exciting for many, I know, and HAS to help Solecismic Software, which is good for us as a whole.

Downloaded and installing!

Woot!

Im getting the same message too...page not found...that mean the server too busy?

Installing... W00T!

Got it and paid for it. :)

I downloaded the actual game from Jim's website.

going straight for the draft!

Thanks for the tip. Downloading now.

I'm sure the traffic will be a bitch for a while ... I'm uploading my exe download as mirror at my site and will post the link shortly unless Jim expresses a concern or has a problem with that.

No. They have the wrong URL. The right link is on my order page and in the email you should receive from ViaTech with your license information.

I waited an hour or so for ViaTech to update that, then decided to go ahead and open the page figuring people would get that information from here.

Got it. I always forget how you spell Buccaneers despite the guy on here.

There's a thread stickied up top with two download locations. The first is the location at Jim's site. The second is the very fast mirror we used three years ago.

stage 1 of FA is JUST for renegotiations now guys. FYI

Installed and it's running my preference draft with a random new player file now.

probably won't even save this, I just want to play around a bit.

paid for and attacking
HAPPY FESTIVUS EVERYONE!

I think it's FOFtivus. Festivus uses a metal pole, FOFtivus uses goalposts. Festivus has the "airing of grievances", FOFtivus has "due to past injustices". They both feature feats of strength, however.

:D

another FYI...you interview during the "draft preview" stage

Just went to ESPN, and then saw this post. Thanks, I could not spell the name right either :D

Happy FOFTIVUS EVERYONE!

Wow Greta's House of Football seemed pretty messed up to me, she ranked the top 10 QBs, they all showed as Dhani Jones playing for Philly, but when you clicked on that name it showed Tom Brady playing for the Patriots. Unless the whole thing is just there as a little joke?

Just made the purchase...what team is everyone playing?

Works fine in my game. I love her hair.

the computer is definately trading draft picks like mad (in a good way)

Here's another mirror for anybody having download troubles:

Should be pretty fast ... it was about a 3 minute download on my test.

Nope. Greta's definately broken. Listing 10 of one player and then you click the player card and you get 10 of a different player.

I was pretty impressed when it offered a 7th round pick for a player I had, I rejected it, then shortly after it bumped up its offer to a 5th round pick for the same player.

Uh-oh. That was working fine in development mode. Looks like I'll need to patch after all. I hate that some things that are working for months fail when you switch to release mode - I always miss something.

Greta's working fine for me.

e.g. 10 different quarterbacks and each one has their respective player card

greta is working for me!
she counts good but no evil laugh like the Count at Sesame st.

Ok it's time to select the Buzzsaw and see if I can turn this team around. I can only I hope I do not hold any press conferences looking into the bathroom mirrow while shouting, "They are who we thought they were!" :D

Wish me luck

Greta worked fine in my fictional league. Tried again with default rosters, and it didn't work.

I didn't see this mentioned in the demo thread, but I FREAKING love that free agents are color coded indicating who may have an affinity for your team and who would pose a conflict. Brilliant!

I'm having fun and taking my team in season rebuilding the Chiefs. I'm currently buying Tre' Stallings a one-way bus ticket back to the sticks.

I decided to start with the Dolphins. I always like picking a team that doesn't have a new franchise QB. That certainly applies to the Dolphins.

CHIEFS go 15-1 and lose to INDY again AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
gawd i hate indy....
1 small problem CHIEFS only give up 199points for the season!
WOW!

ALL KINDS OF AMAZING FEATURES:
ANOTHER FOF-ESTIVUS MIRACLE!

I'm not so sure about Greta. Can someone make a different pic for her? Like...more sexy?

I think Greta might be Mrs. JIM

I am wondering if Owens and Vanderjahtthaht shouldn't both be red flags.

Too bad Jim couldn't of made it so player photos could of been added:(

I might be mistaken but of the recent text sims in the last 5 years haven't all of them had that function in there? except like FBCB?

Worked fine for me too.

Running through a draft, I see a QB down near the bottom of the screen. He's not rated high, but there seems to a total drought on QBs in the draft. (There a several stud players, including 2 CBs that are over 7 in Adjst. I believe the QB was around 5.8 or 5.9). Still, Washington takes the QB with the 2nd pick in the draft (#1 was one of the stud CBs). #3 was the 2nd stud CB. Why didn't Washington take a stud CB? Because Washington has 2 quality CBs....and they very badly need a QB.

I'd say the draft AI has been tweaked a bit.

Greta has worked perfectly for me in both fictional and real rosters. ***shrug***

I concur with Troy, both fictional and real rosters, Greta works fine.

That's the kind of stuff I like to hear. :)

It might be late, I might be tired. But I cannot for the life of me, find where to turn off saving all box scores and logs, except for my team. Wasn't this in global commands at one time?

No sooner do I say that, I astart a new career and she blows up, just like the people here are saying. Oh well.

Off to do some drafting. Just going to fast sim through some seasons tonight.

Odd - in my second year, when Greta announces the best run blockers, I get the same guy listed 10 times. This is the non-fiction database, and Greta seemed to work fine the first year.
