If I'm wrong on this, I'd love to know. Maybe I can give it a second shot.


Considering how I play OOTP when I play OOTP, I don't think anything can compare to OOTP for "playing a spreadsheet". I think that there are many people (including some in this league) who enjoy FOF multiplayer.

My biggest issue with FOF is I hate the interface, it feels clumsy and it is ugly in my opinion. But I think the game engine is for the most part sound. If you are interested in a football game, it is in my opinion the best pro football game out there.

For multiplayer football though, I still don't think any game can beat BBCF (college football) for multiplayer play.
