With regards to the launch of FOF 8, yeah, that game was pretty damn stable, also built on older code that had been iterated on a bunch. I'm halfway motivated to try and convince him to release "FOF 8 Deluxe Stats DLC" for 10 bucks a pop by patching in the extra tracking stuff like tendency analysis and other things that are in this new version.. I wonder how much work that would take him, but I wouldn't expect it to be more than what it would take to fix FOF 9. Shit, I bet there would be folks willing to pay more. I know I would.

This is how it should have always been. Would have made more money by going down the release patches/dlc at a cost. People would have paid for it instead he has a shit game, dissatisfied fan base, and looking like possibly no way back

Unread Yesterday, 11:24 AM #7 Solecismic Solecismic Software Join Date: Oct 2000 Location: Canton, OH I tried to switch things up based on what the beta testers seemed most enthusiastic about. At times, I had focus areas, but for the most part, all I told them was "try to break things."
I thought they did fine. Really well. I know it seems daft, but I've done this a lot now and I think the QA went better than with past releases. The first week always hurts. A lot. You miss a simple thing like not fully testing the trade screen, and it seems so obvious once it is pointed out.
The big difference is that for the first time since TCY, this is all new code. The underlying database is completely new - everything was redone, even geography (I was going to use OOTP's, since they gave me permission, but I wanted to do different things). So when I ported concepts over, they had to be completely rewritten. And sometimes I wanted to do something differently so I rewrote it from scratch.
Point being, there is at least three times as much completely new code as I've ever had in a new release. The development cycle was much longer. And yet, my sense is fewer bugs than in the past. I'm slower, but I'm more careful. Or maybe just more experienced. So I'll get a patch out pretty soon (don't know exactly when, I'm still really not able to work hard) and hopefully I'll "turn some of those frowns upside-down" and we'll all forget what's always a very, very difficult week. I hate release week. But that's why there's an initial discount. Not quite early-access, but because I know even the most careful testing will miss things.

Some one has posted on FOFC Josh Allen gained 8555 yards and 91tds in a season. If this is achievable what a joke and how did the testers not pick this up? It was me. I broke it. Did you send it in?

I pitched this to him, can't hurt. If it doesn't take a ton of work, it might be a lucrative addition in combination with a final patch and roster update.. Hell, I would pay 5 bucks a year for a roster update+ draft class for the current year. I would also pay 10 or more dollars for Jim Gindin historical draft classes.

Thanks mate Hopefully Jim can get it right. It sounds unplayable at the moment.

some more from the developer, sinking into the easily predicted path it seems...

What a weirdo. It only took 2 days for guys to scheme an offense that put up extremely unrealistic stats.

Yeah, I don't get it either. Fix some bugs that make for unrealistic stats, take the feedback on UI and maybe you have a winner? (Although, without MP I will not consider it a winner.) I haven't played the game, so maybe the flaws are deeper than that?

We Love FOF8. We play it more than anyone else, including the creator. I play a Average of 5sp Seasons a day, for the last 10 years.. We are the Experts, Jim created a universe. I Love! ---its very very deep.
We say, give us practice squad and free agency compensation. Jim says, "world wide weather and pics of statues."
Jim makes, 8 team Leagues. The only people who need 8 team multi player is ootp Baseball, or a mp fof, with a cheater commish, who can't keep. GM.s around Jim says, "no multi.player"
What we have here is a failure to Listen. I understand QB, RPO.s are Cool. for game play are very complicated. Im sure there are. quite a few new features, we haven't found or can't get to, because, we just haven't stuck with it. After JJ exploded the game with 99pass TD, and Million Yards. we can't invest in, until our Trust is Restored.
