interesting.

from a 2min quick look, seems we're long away from a *new* game

[Kobeck]

For a 1 man effort FOF is a heck of a game. $/time it has been a bargain. Even if there are no more updates it is still the best NFL simulator available. If he does nothing but update the roster and call it an update It will still be the best available.

On too wishes. I wish he would stop trying to simulate the current NFL and make the game where any style can win. Right now with FOF2k7 a dominate O is the easiest path too victory. This is an accurate current NFL fact.

I wish there could be an AI option where any style could be played. I'm not talking the Veer I'm just talking "modern" football. Where coaches not players call the plays. I guess this would be 70s and up. The teams need to be able to form their own IDs over time. Running the WC O more will make your team better at running the WC O, and you ability to play Smashmouth, for instance, will drop.

Just right now the fast path tooo victory is too get a VG QB and 5 VG WRs and throw the ball a lot. Every team cannot be Indy and NE for crying out loud.

I think that there should be some balance. TEN can win with a strong running game and a good defense. This formula is non existent in FOF.

[Kozure]

Running the ball is largely broken in the game, that's for sure. There's little reason to go with a run-first offense since smart GMs will be able to gameplan to stop it. It's much more difficult to stop the pass.

Not sure if anyone noticed the thread at FOFC but someone started a league with dumbed down QBs and WRs in the draft files or something to balance things out. Sounded very interesting but I wasn't up for joining another league.

how dumbed down? to the point where a running game and defense could win?

Exact same question I had

Link?

Yeah, you would have to dumb them down quite a bit.

[JesterBlaze]

Link?

I don't really frequent FOFC. I saw it when I followed Sui's link to promote the IFL when we were looking to fill spots. It's probably in the same forum looking for members as well.

I also don't have the answer to the "how dumbed down" question.
