I'm at a point to where I need to write a ratings adjuster that works better than the previously created one that's out there but frankly I'm just too lazy to do it. With the VPNFL files and properly rated players, it still produces decent results, even if the in-game play is a bit wonky.
My big issue with FOF is roughly the same as bigtrouble77's. My particular gripes are the fact that, 16 years after its original release, you can play with any league size you want as long as it's 32 teams in size, and the complete lack of attention paid to the coaching aspect of the game. I'm actually of roughly 20% of a mind to build my own game, as I have a really specific idea of what I would like a football game to be that I really can't expect any other dev to share, but sadly I am 80% too lazy for that.

I have started programming my own football game...for the very same reasons. It is more for me to use only, but when I am finished I'll probably just release it for free for the public.
