Possible football game coming from OOTP Devs?

[Postman]

Butter This Side!

A game of dropping toast on the floor.

Since it seems to be a pretty safe bet at this point... best of luck on the new sim, Francis. Despite having just bought Front Office Football 7, I know I'll definitely be there on day one for some OOTP football.

Now the waiting begins

That's right, they do have McDonalds in Germany.

Guys, guys, I just figured it out. It's all an elaborate prank, and BTS stands for Boy They're Stupid.

My big question is will the game actually be released somewhat soon, is the announcement just to announce a far-off release date or perhaps there will be some kind of public beta or something.

In Francis' other blogs he mentioned hoping to have a version ready by end of 2013.... Who knows how far the game has come in the last few months.

I've been 'out of the loop' , 'gone' for quite some time, so I am a bit behind. Who is this Francis person and what do they do?

Read this thread; that's exactly what people have been investigating.

Thank you.
Is this thread the first, the very first, mention of his name and who he is or is he mentioned somewhere, anywhere, else in these forums?

No, he hasn't been mentioned/discussed anywhere else in the forums.

His account is listed as having over 100 posts, but the only ones that are publicly-viewable are the two he made in this thread.

The logical conclusion to that - albeit just speculation - is that the rest of his posts came in the private subforum dedicated to this new game.

That was the first computer game I ever bought. One of the reasons I got it was because it ran in monochrome (it also ran in CGA if I recall correctly). I logged a lot of hours in that one...

Keep in mind though, we have a hidden training forum for youngsters where they can practice their writing skills ("lol", "+1", "OMG", "Ross Gload") before having to prove themselves in the wild. Francis seems to have taken advantage of that.

Being from the US of A, and knowing the football-crazed maniacs who live here, Markus should know he is sitting on a quintessential gold mine.

Now he can get that 5th Lamborghini I'm sure he's always wanted.

Woah Woah Woah. I'm 14 and I never got access to that.

My biggest concern for a football game. Football has the shortest all-star caliber player lifespan and the most turnover of top notch talent. I'd want to see this mimicked correctly but unfortunately if they made the game I'd have tp await the 300 threads like "why did my #1 overall QB never win a game", "why is my pro bowl runningback playing so terrible this season this game sucks", "why do my best players just retire in their 20s?" and "i just signed the best CB in the league in the offseason and he's giving up a ton of big plays who made this POS game"

And even though JaMarcus Russell, Eddie George, Robert Smith and Nnamdi Asoumugha all would have great answers to these questions... the ignorance will dominate.
