That reminds me...haven't I been waiting on Team Fortress 2(or whatever Sierra is calling it now) since Spring of 1999, it might even go back farther if I wanted to dig at it...but I don't

As for the idea about it being a good simulation finally with real graphics:

1) By the time this game goes out the graphics will be dated. Whats the point of the product supposedly appealing as something like FOF+Madden if the graphics are way worse than the latest Madden?

2)This guy doesn't exactly have the kind of experience in releasing several versions of good simulation titles that the best sport sim developers do. Whats the point of the product supposedly appealing as something like FOF+Madden if the simulation is way worse than the latest FOF?

I would think there is a high chance that this game is bad FOF + bad Madden with more customability. I said something similiar before, who cares if you can play with 6 quarters on a 140 yard field if the game is subpar in the more important aspects?

I hope the operating system(s) he's developing for is still relevant when he releases the game. Might be like 4 or 5 version of Windows released before it comes out.

The true secret is it's done, they just have to upload it to their server. Unfortunately, when this game entered development, it was back in the days of 300 baud modems. Having never upgraded their hardware, it's taken several years to upload it to the web.

Expect the upload to finish in 2014.

Well, then I'm convinced. Just 13 months of last minute "honing" eh? Great. Where do I pre-buy?

The staff of Matrix games and I have worked out a tentative release schedule of Super Bowl week. The exact day is TBA but it should be that week. The reason for the extra delay is rather simple. Matrix and Wintervalley simply teamed up too late to have a good Christmas release. Box art, promotional materials, etc are still being created.

Well, the box art is certainly going to make or break this game.

Well, they have it featured in the 'game recon' box on the Matrixgames site...so Matrixgames seems willing to bet its cred on a release pretty soon.

This is what happens when you do too much with too little. Just release the frequent game and develop ot over time.

To hell with the game, I can't wait for the promotional materials! Maybe it'll be a jar of Vick's Vap-o-rub?

Oh, shit, I just noticed what year that "box art" notice was from. I had originally thought that that message was from a month ago.

So, if this game is released, how long will it take them to get a patch out?

Or, will a patch not be needed?

I'll give it a shot, providing it is around the 24-25$ price range.

Butt ugly graphics? Yea, that will get me to buy the game. Hell, stubby console Madden characters from the mid 90s look just as good as that attempt to make 3D players. Do some of those guys have white halloween masks over their faces?

Again, explain to my why a customizeable game with bad graphics and a who knows how good sim engine(probably sub par compared to whats out there) could possibly get you this excited? Or better yet, why should it get US excited? Answer: It Shouldn't.

I think everything is customizable, so those white halloween masks could be gorilla masks or maybe even teenage mutant ninja turtle masks.

Based on how long everything else has taken, IF it is released, there's zero chance that I'm buying it unless I hear lots of positive reviews and feedbacks. There's no reason at this point to have any confidence that timely patches would be released.

But patches don't need nearly as much box art work

I still give alot of credit to David Winter for making this game. Consider that the sales of computer sports games are a fraction of that of the console games. Then consider that everybody who makes computer sports games makes them as text sims. So I don't care at all about the delays.

And any fair-minded person has to acknowledge that this game should have and would have already been out if the 'career-play' option hadn't been pushed so much. But it will just make for a better game when it does happen.

those graphics look horrible. They remind me of that old tabletop football game where the field vibrates and the little figures buzz around mindlessly. Look at screenshot #3. Where is that defensive player running to? Someone needs to pause the vibration and reorient him in the right direction. Look at screenshot #5. The running back is taking it in for a score and the two safeties are frozen flatfooted deep in the end zone like statutes. This is going to be a disaster.

I hope you are right because the genre needs a solid simulation, but right now it looks like crap but the release will tell I guess.
Right now Im hoping someone would remake Accolade's Legends of Football.
