Maximum Football???

'98 (because of it's play/game plan/profile editing, league creation and etc; that EASports refuses to include in their games); however, now I saw The Maximum Football game and loved the direction it went. There is a chance I might use The Maximum FootBall game over F.P.S.: F.B. P. '98, if it can be proved to me it can be better than F.P.S.: F.B.P. '98 [problem playing/drafting/using files in same FootBall level(s) over as many as possible computers (without Internet and with LAN) ]. The problem is the following, your game/The Maximum FootBall has crashed on my computer and play editoring seems (so hard to use and crashes when trying to practice it) subpar to F.P.S.: F.B.P. '98.

First I thought this guy's posts were just a total mess, perhaps coming from someone whose command of English is a bit shaky.

Then... I started to realize. What's he doing here? All these hyphens... all these periods. Hyphens... dashes. Periods... dots. Dashes and dots... IT'S MORSE CODE!

So, I figure that this is really the next enigma puzzle...

B. I Have Tried To Download The Game In The Computer I Type This Out On And Share With Others, It Did Not Work**. Thus, I Have To Wait Until I Get My Other Computer Fixed To Be Able To Compare The Maximum FootBall '2006 to F.P.S.: F.B.P. '98.

C. I Am The Most Die Hard F.P.S.: F.B.P. '98 supporter/Currently The Greatest FootBall Gaming Experience EVER CREATED, Thus The Maximum FootBall '2006 & Beyond Will Have To Include All That F.P.S.: F.B.P. '98 Offered and Best It.*[/font]

Sorry, I was just thinking of ESPNNFL '2005's scouting feature; not F.P.S.: F.B.P. '98's feature of saving games and plays or all scoring plays, to be able store them or trade them. Sorry, if it seems that I am constantly bring up F.P.S.: F.B.P. '98 just that to me it was the greatest FootBall Game ever created. I have tryed all major ones, even gave up on playing real FootBall and went to the dark side* and JOINED THE EAS CUSTOMERS* and have every single one in the F.P.S. series. *Only for the stupid, followers and do not truely understand what FootBall really is about, I fit in the first-two but was an grumpy unsatisfied playing EAS FootBall Games, because I am a ex-FootBall player and ex-coach. In my defense, for which there is next to no defense for, I was playing with a few of my younger family members, the ONLY positive from that Dark stage of my playing FootBall Gaming was that it inspired me to create my company.

Geez...that thread is hilarious. He basically quotes the features of the game and types "LOVE IT!" after each section. This guy is a nutball or a very creative troll that has purchased the game.

let's be serious for a moment, is he for real? I mean could someone really be that confused or is he making it all up as he goes?

As entertaining as GWBFBAQWERTY2006@#$!!! is, I think this is still my favorite post from the support forum:

Field Goal kickers are terrible.

My first league game. There was no 2nd half kick off. The team who had the ball at the end of the 1st half took over right where they left off at the start of the 3rd Quarter.

No turnovers. Not a single one in about 8 games that I have played.

QBs throw the ball into the ground instead of getting sacked. It would be grounding.

Too many fair catches on punts.

QBs are struggling pretty mightly to throw.

Despite all this...I love this. This is the exact game I have wanted for 8 years.

From this, I take it that he wanted a game that resembles football, in that it's played on a football field, and where you get to design lots of pretty uniforms, but the rules are something akin to those found in various games in Quik's old Manufactured Competition Thread.

[QuikSand]

I'll be very disappointed if this GWBFBA... character is actually just one of you in disguise. Or if it's me. That would probably disappoint me even more.

Two weeks ago I'd have bet money this was a troll, but since then I've been dealing with customer support for a popular online software retailer which sends me emails that are a cross between this guy and jbmagic. The first email was so bad, I thought a friend was playing a joke on me and confronted him about it. I think it's very possible this guy could be on the up and up.

yeah, it's a bit how I feel too. The trollish wave has kind of subsided, the fun was all done and then he comes around. I'd feel a bit like Quiksand if it turned out that it's a manufactured identity but my rational self has a very hard time believing that somebody can be this confused...

Agreed. A long, long time ago, I worked tech support for AOL. There really are people like this out there.

[spcd]

The fakes were fairly easy to pick out, although CFL_FAN has recently rekindled himself as possibly just a nut case with his recent posts. But this character is either a true genius, or a 14 year old English-as-a-fourth-language student with a school business project. Then again, it's possible that an MF-customized player has achieved sentience, and is just a few ratings tweaks away from normality

[Anthony]

like i said, the humor is being forced here. it was more authentic about 20/30 pages ago. now the continued beating of the horse is getting malicious. if people dislike the game so much they should give it the worst kind of punishment.

moving on.

unless you think all the internet's weirdest people are restricted to the MF forums. there's tons of sites out there with equal, if not more, humorours content. yes, yes, why do i keep checking if i don't care. i keep assuming (wrongly) that if people are still posting here that there's actually something worthwhile to view.

i'm wrong everytime.

[Anthony]

it's just silly to see everyone eagerly trying to declare the "new era of the MF thread" everytime someone finds something to make fun of.

i've heard of grapsing for straws, but this is over the top. yeesh, its like David Winter is the only guy in history to try to accomplish something (no matter how lofty the goal) and fall flat on his face. like everything goes perfectly for all you other guys.

MF might suck, but i'd love to have the ability to create something that looked like MF. i wouldn't charge $40 for the final product, mind you, but i still respect the time that went into making something like that. FOF is a beast of a game but it doesn't even have the 2D dots of FM. so, the guy failed. how is this worthy of 60 pages of poking fun of?

Ok, Chevy. We get it. Weekend Update should have been cancelled once you left the cast of Saturday Night Live. It could never again reach the comic proportions you brought to it.

Guys, argue in limerick or don't argue at all.

[Anthony]

i added more to my post above, to flesh out my thought.

i like how everyone here is authentically a good person, and this thread is just an exception to the rule, where you all have a common target to take shots at.

meanwhile, when i say "hey, don't you think you should move on, don't you think he's had enough" i'm not authentic/sincere.

everyone here is perfect. everyone always completes projects to their highest calibre and no one ever fails. no one can just take a shot and leave it at that. no, everyone jsut want to continually pile on the guy so they can manufacture their own fun.

i feel sorry for the guy. i sometimes have lots of ideas in my head that i'd love to have the ability to make a reality - you think i wouldn't want to be able to create my own text sim? so the game sucks. you guys are on the edges of your seats waiting for the next slip up, screw up or fuck up so you have more content.

[FrogMan]

HA, that GW guy is funny to me in his own right. He could have been posting about BBCF and I would still have had fun trying to decipher his "companies" and stuff. I'm not so much blasting Maximum Football, other than posting in the Maximum Football since it's kinda linked to it.

I don't like your analogy at all. A woman's nipples don't get pointy when they are angry. They get pointy when they are aroused or cold. So you already confused me.

So wait, I'm not sure if I've deciphered it properly. This guy wants to start a company where he has a bunch of computers, and people are paying him to play FB Pro '98 (or M-F if he can install it) on them against each other? Can't people already do this for free from the comfort of their own homes?
