Version 5.0b
I just uploaded the version 5.0b patch. SkyDog has been kind enough to host the download in order to take the pressure off of ViaTech (which doesn't seem to have the server space to handle the initial crush).
You can find the download here: FOF 2004 Version 5.0b The following issues have been fixed for 5.0b... 50. Teams should not take a knee in the closing seconds of the first half on fourth down.

Thanks, Jim. I guess a "long vacation" for you is the 4-day Thanksgiving weekend.

I liked Josh Poe (the 16 yo Denver player, I think). He was my little Freddy Adu at LG...

How unexpected . Good idea releasing it in the middle of the day too, I'm downloading at 318 kb/sec.

Nice... I just bought the game this morning, and was having trouble downloading anyway... all I need is the patched version from good ol' SkyDog's server to get started, right?

Question, why is this patch a full download? It says 29 mb. Do we have to download the entire thing again? It took 2 hours the last time.

Dola--I'm still getting around 144KB/sec, which is as fast as my DSL has ever gone. I really have no idea what the upper limit is...

Skydog, I am on dial up. My question wasn't very clear, Sorry.
How come you have to download the whole 29 MB again? I thought It was just a patch.

It even includes one bug fix I reported which was pretty minor and whose report I thought had gone unnoticed !

Just checked. Here's their $9.99 a month plan now:
200 MB storage Unlimited transfer 50 e-mail boxes Free domain name They've bumped up the e-mail boxes, (My plan has just 5, but I am only using 2 of them.) and lowered the storage space considerably. The unlimited transwer is very nice though, especially at these speeds. (I just DL'ed again at 150 KB/s. I'm guessing we're not gonna have any slowdown issues at all with the downloading the patch.)

Does this mean HR's roster utility is going to need updated as well? If I recall correctly it was based on the real player file and not the default player file.

Skydog,
I wouldn't just toss around that unlimited bandwidth to carelessly, there are more than a few complaints about Aplus over at WebHostingTalk, this being just one - http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?threadid=34509&highlight=aplus+unlimited. |

To be honest, at the time I purchased the hosting package, I didn't even know what "unlimited transfer" meant.

A question from the tired and hungry who just want a simple answer. Which does "old careers will not be affected" mean: A. That old careers wont be erased/altered, but the fixes and enhancements found in the new patch will exist in the old career. or B. That old careers wont be erased/altered, but the only way to take advantage of the fixes and enhancements found in the new patch is to start a new career? or C. A mix of the two. |

Hmm... from reading over there, it sounds like "Unlimited Transfer" is just a big fat lie used to sell hosting accounts.
I doubt they'll ding you for using a ton of bandwidth over the course of a month or so - but if you were to continually generate that sort of traffic, I'm sure you'd get a nastygram in your e-mail box. |

Ok, I'm not sure if we should give SkyDog a gold star or a slap on the wrist for using the word "picayune" in a sentence. The only time I've heard that in my LIFE was when I was living in New Orleans. The name of the newspaper is the Times-Picayune. Until today I had NO idea what picayune meant. Had to look it up. And SkyDog was a MATH major?? And he plays guitar too!! What a renaissance man!

Honolulu_Blue, it seems like you can just run the old careers with the fixes. Escept for the one player's age being changed, there doesn't appear to be anything on that list that would require you to start over to have all of the fixes. They all seem liek display and AI tweaks and fixes to me.
But then again, I have no idea. And on the issue of having to redownload the whole thing, I wonder if it has something to do with ViaTech and their elicensing...not that I care. Cable pwns j00! I started downloading it when I began writing this message...it's done now. |

Make sure you don't have FOF2k4 open or something. It might be trying to overwrite a file and by having the game open it won't be able to. Sorry if I insulted your intelligence. Just trying to help.

I couldn't agree more. I was actually impressed on how much has been addressed let alone in such a short period of time. It goes a long way towards making a strong statement in regards to Jim's customer service. He has apparently been listening well and working hard. Every issue that has given me pause in purchasing this version has been resolved. Thanks Jim. |

Jim,
Thank you for delaying your vacation for us. Please do take your well-deserved vacation and enjoy it. Please thank the family for us for being so understanding. It's a selfish request really. We need you sane and ready so we can have our future Solecismic fixes. Ben, It may not be a big deal to you but to those of us who don't have to fight the traffic at ViaTech, it's great. Thanks. PS - Curse you for making me look up "picayune". |

To save the rest of you the trouble (from dictionary.com)
picˇaˇyune adj. Of little value or importance; paltry. See Synonyms: trivial. Petty; mean. n. A Spanish-American half-real piece formerly used in parts of the southern United States. A five-cent piece. Something of very little value; a trifle: not worth a picayune.

I just checked it again and the player in questions birthdate is 1977 in the .csv so Jim must've already updated it. Don't know if that includes the ratings tweaks or not.
