    Re: Front Page Sports Football Set to Arrive Just in Time For the Upcoming Season

    I just saw this thread and my heart started racing. Seriously.

    Then I looked into it on the website and read this.

    A Pro season is made up of 2 pre-season games, 16 regular season games, 3 playoff games and one final. During the playoff and final periods, the eliminated teams play exhibition games.

    WTF!!!!! Dream crushed just like that. I can only imagine other "unrealistic" features.

      yeah that's weird
      I wish they had made it so that you could use real league templates like NFL,AFL,WAFL...etc


      One thing thats frustrated me about them is the lack of information and clarification. I can only hope that after the game is released they'll be open to suggestions otherwise a huge opportunity will be lost.

        I'm afraid of getting my hopes dashed too, but other than an aesthetics thing it doesn't really sound like a huge deviation from a real league schedule. If you want to play 4 pre-season games just like the NFL, one would think the game is set up so you can play any "practice game" outside of the league schedule anytime you want. As for the two exhibition games during the "final", just ignore them...

            With plenty to play right now the kinda arbitrary deviations from the nfl format I'll probably hold off until it's on sale.

            Did they do stuff like this with their baseball product?

              I'm still concerned about there not being a Free Agency Period. Are we only supposed to buid from the draft?

                Not trying to defend the developers if the game turns out to be a joke. But does anyone know if they have NFL games broadcast in France with French speaking announcers? Or NFL print/online publications in French? I'm guessing that the developers may be more fans of the FPS:Football Series than they are of actual NFL football. The original series(and the Baseball series) had many odd quirks to them. This game may replicate some of that. Still, I have my hopes up...

                    I hope to see some reviews and gameplay before I fully commit to buy.

                          Devs to appear to be relatively responsive on the Steam community, answering the couple of questions that have popped up.

                          He mentions a lot, but not players, hopefully that's just an accident or covered by 'many things in your team'

                            I played the precursor to this, the now dead online version, as an early beta tester. I dont remember much of the details but I do remember the engine was very rudimentary. I dont know if it has developed much except for going 3D but the AI was pretty awful back then. Backs would follow the path in the play exactly regardless of what was in front of them for instance. It looks to me from the videos that all players use the same crappily animated model and are all the same height and weight. Throws also look like they have no arc, they just zip to the WR. This isnt really a problem though if just plays a good game of football in 2D view.

                            The really cool thing about the online version though was the fact that it was a connected world from HS to College to PRO. There was sillyness like a HS draft but all in all it was cool to be able to scout for the draft by watching players play in actual college games. It seems this will not be in the single player version as it is not mentioned in any description.

                            I also dont think it will be anything like FPSF when it comes to customization. There will probably not be a play editor (although if a community develops it is not impossible one could surface). I think from reading everything they have announced that it is unlikely we can run leagues of different sizes or schedules. We are probably stuck with a NFL-style 32 team 16 week league (as far as i remember there were no byes in the online).

                            I am afraid we are all expecting to much of this game. Having said that I liked what they did with Blood Bowl and their cycling manager games have been successfull even if I never played them so I dont have an opinion on them. They were responsible for making a embarrasing mess of the GoT franchise...

                              Comes out in an hour. Hm, still don't know a ton about it but I'm excited to have another textbased football game out there. I don't expect it to top Front Office Sports Seven, but I guess we'll see.

                                My expectations weren't high but this game is an alpha version being marketed as a full version.

                                The potential is there but they should have spent another year developing it.
                                I expected the game to lack features but the basic fundamentals of the game are poor at this point.
