Thanks Jim, aka Solecismc & FOF

[MizzouRah]

Went on my yearly week vacation camping in Piedmont, Missouri and brought the laptop and FOF 2004. Ootp 6 used to be my most played game, but I'd have to say FOF 2004 has taken over and is probably my favorite game right now.

After a brief hitatus, FOF drew me back in again and I've been playing it all week long - well, at least as much as I could and still hang out with the family.

Thanks again,

The game has more than paid for itself.

Sounds like you had a nice time! Would you say that FOF is getting more playing time than NCAA?

I just fired up a new league with yabanci's rosters, too. Usually when I do, there is a new game or patch released shortly afterwards, so be on the lookout.

Well, it did on vacation as the ps2 stayed here, but I plan on getting some NCAA in soon as well. I just like how easy it is to fire FOF up and lose yourself in the game.

I did get MVP 2005 for the PC today though... need a baseball fix.

Good luck with MVP 2005. I bought it for the PC about 2 weeks ago but still can't get it to run without locking up in the middle innings. I'm running a pretty nice system too (AMD 2800, 2 gig ram, ATI X800 256 meg video). Hopefully its not the video card overheating.

FOF has passed the time beautifully on my travelling excursions.

I've never taken FOF on vacation, or played multiplayer, but the only other text sim I've come close to playing as much as it is Title Bout Championship Boxing. And I've played both those games FAR more than any non RPG console game out there, and would say that I've probably logged 80+ hours with the newest FOF version over the years. Great investment.

no problems with mvp 2005 here on the pc.

you probably have to goto video options in the game to adjust.

and be sure to have latest drivers for your video card.

After playing it on the Xbox before I sold it, the ps2 version looks horrible. I saw it at Wally world today and thought I'd check it out on the pc.

Thanks for the info, I'll have to check that roster out!

There are some really nice historical rosters on the site as well, ballparks too. Damn ATI!

Yes, that site is unreal.. reminds me of the Clubhouse and High Heat days.

The game plays quite well on my semi-old system and GeForce 5500 video card.

Yeah it really does. It just goes to show that PC sports gaming (graphically speaking) doesn't really need to be dead. The inherent power in a PC and the ability to modify things is unreal. Its quite sad actually.

That it is... I guess they make so much more money on consoles that pc's are thought of last, which is a shame.

[wishbone]

That's nice and all...


But is it really camping if you take a laptop?
