That's definitely where I found out about the game. Bought it probably at release, and then, as a 15 year old reviewing games for some new video game site (hey, free PS1 games) I posted a review of FOF which I sent to Jim, and he returned the favor by giving me a short interview.

I didn't get on board until FOF2. This thread is way too cool for me.

without ruining the simulation. I agree that it would be a nice option
to have to turn off and on, but it does delve into an area where the
big companies are strongest.

If I ever get to write the college version, it will include
play-calling.

You can make up for this lie by coming out with TCY2, with play-calling, by the end of September. k thx

I love how even then, there were dola posts. Heck, it was a triple dola.

Wow this is a great post, thanks for finding it. I was on board for the 1st FOF but didn't buy FOF2, go figure.
