The first version of FOF I bought was in 2004 but I've only real played the game in any depth for the last 8 or 9 years or so and for me it's fantastic in terms of simulating realistic NFL scores and stats.
There's lots more to the game than that of course but that is what it does better than any other 'football' sim (I'm English) I've ever tried over the years (I'm 46 so there have been many).
I've always hoped that a game like FOF could be paired with a highly polished, in depth and customisable game such as the Football Manager series, so I am excited to see what Jim and OOTP can put together here.
For me personally, the biggest drawback for FOF is the single player mode. So much so that I haven't touched it for years, yet in Football Manager and when I have dipped my toes into OOTP Baseball, the single player mode is immersive and challenging but I've only really experienced that in multiplayer mode in online leagues in FOF, where a lot of that immersion is created through the dynamics of the guys in those leagues.
