Gridiron Solitaire, Anyone Check This Out?

Is it possible to add a almanac? I know it keeps track of your seasons. It would be cool if it somehow could record the box score for each game. Thanks Bill loving the game.

There's a Team History tab that gives you a season summary for each season in your franchise, but no history at the single-game level. One of the things I'm working on is that you can select your history card for a season, and it will flip over and show you the league playoff bracket and results for that year as well.

It's a unique game and has more drama than you would even believe (and it's all non-scripted drama, too--the AI is 100% honest). So thanks and I hope you give the game a try.

Thanks for your quick reply.

I was trying to assess how much of a "sim" it was and you have answered that with your response.
Even though it is, as you say, "80% in -game, 20% offseason", it still sounds like a lot of fun and a nice change from the norm. I should be downloading my copy soon.

Good luck with the game, looking forward to advances and improvements in the future.

Take care,

detailed weather database has custom weather profiles for hundreds of American and Canadian cities. Rain/snow are possible, and both affect
gameplay.

Bill a few more questions here.

Do you have a list of what cities are included? If I change a team that is located in Montana to St. Louis will it give me appropriate weather?

Thanks.

How do you buy it?

Oh, I think I see now.

EDIT: OK, Steam has easily the most frustrating "character check" ever made.

Damn I am 0-3 now on the middle difficulty mode. Lost in OT to the Cardinals. Game is pretty damn exciting for a card game I will say that.

Here is a video of a guy breaking things down.

Bought it, but still haven't gotten it to work.

It might change, but I'm not at all impressed by Steam. They can't recognize my account, yet they send me (via email) the account name that they don't recognize.

Thanks.

All cities over 100,000 in the U.S. have a weather profile, and most of them over 50,000 do as well. I know St. Louis is in there.

Fun Game. I won my first matchup 24-21 surviving a run call on 4-16 at the 16 that put me ahead and a failed Hail Mary attempt by my opponent.

Very entertaining game. The "risk-reward" factor for big plays when you're running your offense is well complemented by having to save big plays when on defense.

I just got beat 16-10 in my second game as my Offense sputtered.

Hats off to you Bill.

Thanks, man, I really appreciate it! And I'm still working on the game to keep improving it.

Re: Gridiron Solitaire, Anyone Check This Out?

Thanks! There's going to be a big update in about 4 weeks that will add quite a bit of content and additional game balancing. So there's lots of work going on behind the scenes to keep improving the game. Thanks for playing, you guys!

Hi Guys!
Hey, version 1.1 just went live. Lots of additions and new content.
1. Kickoffs have been added (using NFL data as the foundation for distance/return)
2. Penalty cards have been added
3. Punts now use three tiers of field position to determine distance and returns, also using real NFL data.
4. Revamped offseason AI (CPU now can have one of eight possible team strategies), and a new offseason news ticker (for coaching and team style changes)
5. A new "big image" presentation system
6. Revised gameplay balance on offense rewards balanced playcalling.

There's much more, but those are the big items. I hope you get a chance to try it out--it's much improved in terms of in-game strategy.

Really cool game. Any chance an update allowing the user to edit team ratings before beginning a league could be done?
