From the help-file:

"The Combine Accuracy setting determines how closely player combine results reveal a player's ratings. This can be set from 0 (least accurate) to 100 (most accurate). A setting of 50 is considered average, though this makes the combine quite accurate. This setting applies to both single- and multi-player games where you are the commissioner."

RedKingGold · 12-13-2013, 06:22 AM

Can't wait to dive in this more later today and all morning tomorrow.

Minor quibble, but it does stand out.

Agree 100%...can't read a thing on that screen.

Ronde Barber · 12-13-2013, 06:42 AM

Just got the game......made me happy

corbes · 12-13-2013, 07:32 AM

Congratulations Jim. What a year for you.

garion333 · 12-13-2013, 08:04 AM

Congrats, Jim. Can't wait to get off work and play the heck out of it.

aran · 12-13-2013, 08:05 AM

I'm at work and can't download and see for myself... is there a quick sim option for generating league history before I start actually managing a team?

Dutch · 12-13-2013, 08:15 AM

Can't wait to dive into this! Congrats, Jim!

gelat · 12-13-2013, 08:18 AM

Same here - can't read that red font on the sced screen

Drake · 12-13-2013, 08:22 AM

Awesome way to start Friday the 13th.

sidthelid · 12-13-2013, 08:32 AM

Ok so took AVG AV off and everything works fine. Seems to be an issue with AVG.

Awesome. I'm excited for this and a lot of the other wrinkles that seem like it will just make playing the game easier, and less tedious.

'Export Data'.

korme · 12-13-2013, 09:20 AM

Funny, I had a rare off night last night, so I was literally all over the internet and my PlaystationNetwork searching for any new game of interest to purchase on a wim out of sheer boredom. Didn't pull the trigger... glad I didn't, now.

About to purchase. Do old draft files for historical purposes translate to this version?

schwantz · 12-13-2013, 09:25 AM

So for combine accuracy, can it be assumed 50 is most like FOF2007? And would it really be any fun to play at 100!?!

korme · 12-13-2013, 09:32 AM

My first thoughts are that Jim could easily get some better graphics in here. The opening screen looks ten years old, could confuse some new players.

Seriously, this will be a thing of beauty for MP leagues. Here are the fields for staff personnel (to include staff_id and first and last name info...something we couldn't get from the last version.)

Beyond ease of use, there is definitely lots to see with the redesigned staff.

Code:

Staff_ID	 Last_Name	 First_Name	 Current_Team	 Role	 Primary_Group	 Salary	 Player_Development	 Young_Player_Development	 Motivation	 Discipline	 Play_Calling	 Strength_Training	 Conditioning	 Intelligence	 Scouting_Ability	 Interviewing	 Age	 Retired	 Years_on_Contract	 Suitable_Head_Coach	 Suitable_Offensive_Coordinator	 Suitable_Defensive_Coordinator	 Suitable_Assistant_Coach	 Suitable_Strength_Coordinator
42	 Rosburg	 Jerry	2	 Assistant Coach	 Linebackers	176	42	36	70	74	36	0	0	98	64	36	58	0	4	54	0	42	43	0
173	 Frederick	 Warren	99	 None	 Quarterbacks	0	29	96	21	18	55	0	0	96	52	42	50	0	0	34	57	0	63	0
91	 Sherman	 Mike	14	 Offensive Coordinator	 Offensive Linemen	192	67	84	57	29	21	0	0	95	40	22	59	0	4	51	51	0	62	0

Ok. Cancel appointments. Send kid to Grammys. Give wife the credit cad. Lock down.

jaygr · 12-13-2013, 09:45 AM

Anyone else not able to run this? I'm on Windows 8.1 and when I double click the shortcut or exe nothing happens. At all. It doesn't even show up in the task manager.

MRL17 · 12-13-2013, 09:46 AM

Quote:

Multi-Player FTP Support. Most mutli-player commissioner and team owner functions are now automated through FTP. As a team owner, just open up the game, select Import Game Files, and the game downloads all the most recent game files and reloads the game in the current stage. As a commissioner, imports and exports will run much more smoothly.

This is nice, but could we have it get ALL files that a user doesn't have (or aren't current)? If we could eliminate having to find past season files when joining a new league, that would be amazing.

Dutch · 12-13-2013, 09:47 AM

jaygr,

That was a problem with FOF2k7 on 8.1 as well. I did get it to work though, but I can't remember. Only my wife uses 8.1 (she's my beta tester)...all my devices are still on 7, so I can't remember off-hand what you need to do in order to fix that.

korme · 12-13-2013, 09:48 AM

There's a RG in FA, Hey Brad Johnstone, who looks pretty promising.

jaygr · 12-13-2013, 09:49 AM

I think I solved the windows 8.1 problem. Set it for compatibility mode for windows 8.

I just watched my first game and it appears Soleivison hasn't been touched.. Bummer, I wonder if Jim could add some more fluff to it with his next patch. Oh and Congrats on the release Jim..

SackAttack · 12-13-2013, 09:50 AM

Maybe the AI teams may not be coloring between the lines on FAs as much as they did in previous versions?

I played with Oakland also and lost out on Graham even though I offered a lot more than the Saints. Interesting.

I'm agree. FOF contributed a ton to how much I learned about football, so i'm glad to see it continue to succeed and move forward with a new release from Jim.

Dutch · 12-13-2013, 10:00 AM

I wonder what happens if you change the "combine accuracy" to a random number each and every year...

Very difficult to read with the red font. I am ok with the grass, but perhaps the font can be changed to white or something?

Same thing was happening to me. I had to right click and open as administrator.

I already bought it so it's not a deal breaker nor is it very important, but I was a almost shocked at those 8-bit looking menu icons at the top. I don't care that the interface is the same. Refresh those icons and change the calendar font and I'd be happy with the UI.
