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

Which is funny because same thing applied to baseball. (In fact, I'll argue more so) In NFL, if you are a first overall pick, at least you probably played some amount of the game. In MLB, two first overall picks never even made it to MLB. (about to become three whenver Matt Bush retired) So I would think that at least the people get used to watching baseball should know about this already.

(Above is not to criticize or disagree with your point, sorry if it sounds like that. It's just my general observation)

You know, we're all going to be horribly disappointed when it turns out that it's just ootpdev's internal Bug Tracking System.

Since we have everyone guessing on the name, how about a pool when this will be announced?

Thank you, I absolutely lost it at Ross Gload

I've mentioned soccer before. A soccer game with OOTPs customisation would be pretty damn popular I think. Look how rigid and strick Football Manager is, even with it's 'editor'!

But I personally want football not soccer

Anyone trying to compete with Football Manager right now is financial suicide, so I doubt a new one is coming anywhere soon, especially not from here.

FHM times three equals soccer(w/o the skates and ice).

Also ,if you play FHM w/5 minute periods you usually wind up with a soccer score.

I know what BTS stands for: Bellow The Song! It's a baseball-themed karaoke game!

I think you will find that the average football fan is a meathead. Trust me, Beefcake Johnny doesn't want to read the action. He wants to put his little brother in a UFC karate move.

All sterotypes aside. Football is for neanderthals.

Everyone trying to be clever with lame joke suggestions for what BTS stands for was starting to get annoying, but I'll admit, this one was funny.

And, for the person who asked for predictions on when the game will be announced... My prediction is for Friday at the earliest, Super Bowl Sunday at the latest.

On the Front Office Football thread, Francis mentioned 1/31 in the thread and also said information would be coming at the end of the month...
