FOF7 Q&A with Jim Gindin

[SteveBsFan]

I hope he finds a better way to handle adjustments than 1,500 drop down options.

Some other things
- Being able to save your game in multi-player
- Tracking ratings through a career
- Re-sign coaches, and have more impact on games
- Fine tuned financials

I'd like to also see something new added, but I have a feeling it will just be an update on features we already have. That's not a bad thing, but something new would be nice as well

I think steam will be great actually. No need to email for additional licenses if you have computer problems or whatnot. Probably some sort of achievement system not that that is important. MORE EXPOSURE... yeah I think if this was on Steam it would get more exposure and the FOF Community would grow larger. This is a plus in my mind.

I am also hopeing for a better UI.

A Possible 2d or 3d game viewer engine. (probably a pipe dream).

I also have played some baseball sims that have this feature but yes a Year to Year graph or chart of a players overall ratings. So you can see how a player has creeped or fallen off over his years.

Fine tune the financials so it doesnt seem like you can do nearly anything without consequence (IE Sign and Trades). Owners/GMs should have to make strategic decisions Financially to make things work. Being an Owner and GM shouldn't be just about game planning and drafting... It should be a full expirence.

This is also probably a long shot. But for Draft Prospects maybe a page on their player card that shows their College stats? Probably more of a reach there but w/e.

Hope this is a major improvement to the game we are playing now. I think this is just what this game and community needs to breathe life back into it.

The DFL uses a TCY generated rookie pool for our drafts over there, and we get the rookies college stats. It does add to the immersion factor..when you see an overrated offensive lineman who's listed as a top project, and yet he's allowed more sacks than the other o linemen in the rookie pool.

I think Steve means that say you are working on your export and need, for whatever reason, to close FOF2k7 then saving what you have done already would be nice. Either that of once you create your export say you forgot too offer a contract, or whatever, you should be able to modify that export and recreate it.


Either way it would be nice. Might not be possible for technical reasons, but it would be good to have.

Our leagues started with the aid of TCY. Cringer actually ran a separate site where he would run the games, host the html and provide stats and player bios. When Cringer stepped away Mr Bigglesworth did the TCY stuff. Mr. Biggs then fell off the face of the planet and our TCY history with it.

think our last TCY imported draft was the Matt Sanford draft.

well that i can understand. can't count how many times i've done an export, clicked export and then gone back and done other things/forgot to do some things.............and the only way to do it is to start back at the beginning.

Matt,

Any chance of the league starting over(fresh) if you port to 7? I would be interested in that.

Of course that depends on what the league wants, but a fresh start would be exciting in my opinion.

[Kobeck]

I would be against a fresh start if it meant the end of the current universe.

I would be for a fresh start if this one was continued in some fashion

Haha that made no sense Kobeck! Your all for a fresh start as long as the league is continued? That wouldn't exactly be a fresh start

But seriously, I'm no longer in the league so I have no say, but I know I'm not going to return unless it would be a new start. I think right now the state of the league is such that the top teams are weighted so far ahead of others that it would take a decade to get some sort of balance. Why not just give everyone an equal chance right off the bat? That's just what I think.

Yeah. I am 100% against any sort of "fresh" start. You would be getting rid of all the history in this league. All the records.


Soooo Good Riddance Jave. Obviously you havent seen other teams like Dakota and Little Rock acquiring massive amounts of young talent. Obviously you pay little attention. Obviously you herp and derp like you always did. hopefully Juggernaut can turn around years and years of your mistakes in Oakland. Hey again tell us about your X year plan?

Funny people used to bust my chops for talking about wanting to partially build a team through free agency. Jave wants to build his and discredit powerhouses like MATT and JESTER by just starting the league over. LoL. GG JAVE

[Kobeck]

the $ side does take a while to overcome


teams with the palaces are tough too compete with $wise. That said the blueprint for getting there is available and anyone can go down that path.

well heres hoping the new version will let everything be edited. That way we could sort out the unbalanced start once and for all. Having said that I think Cringer made some attempt at evening things out.
