The game will support other league structures and offer fictional opportunities, so I don't think calling it a strict NFL simulator is accurate. But yes, it is based on American (NFL) football in terms of the engine.

If the developers are going to start seriously messing with the code, I would hope they'd focus on historical play in the NFL rather than the CFL. Despite the vast differences in the way the game was played back in the early years, at least the NFL in the 1920s and '30s had eleven men per side and a 100-yard field.

The CFL as we know it now only really came about in 1961. Prior to then, the Eastern and Western conferences were separate, with no regular season games between them and each had its own playoff format and schedule. (The eastern and western sections of the CFL didn't play the same number of regular season games until 1974). Last edited by Le Grande Orange; 02-01-2014 at 03:58 PM. |

I would rather BTS set a foundation for fictional leagues that we are used to with OOTP with the option of templates for real leagues...that way we can just create the CFL on our own and share it via mod. The CFL is more likely to get in faster that route than officially. I would think that playable NCAA would be a much bigger priority then the CFL or AFL so when they have some of that "extra time" in a future version i hope they choose fictional. What's made OOTP stand out is it's true fictional modes where the user can create and change worlds the way they want. FHM hasn't achieved this yet. But BTS must embrace it.

While the CFL has some key differences from the NFL, Aussie rules football is essentially a different sport, isn't it? I can't speak for Markus and Francis - they may feel very differently about this - but I would think we would draw the line there. I can see including the CFL, as well as many of the minor leagues around the world, eventually, along with all kinds of historical play, but I'm not sure that Aussie rules football would really fit into the game. It seems to me that would require a different sim altogether.

As far as I know Aussie rules is some Soccer/Rugby hybrid. I wouldn't hold you breath on it being in BTS.

Are the games played on cricket pitches?

Yeah, but an 8 team league in Canada with NFL rules isn't the CFL.

Many NFLers would rather retire than play in the CFL or another league of that nature, so it would be great if we can change a reputation attribute of leagues.

That is certainly a good idea.

I don't want to spoil the fun, but at the same time I don't want you to get your hopes up and then be disappointed when the first version doesn't have all the stuff you mention in this thread
V1 will be concentrating on mirroring the NFL (and Colleges) as accurately as possible. If we could have used the term 'NFL' in the newsletter we would have, perhaps using the term "Football" led to some confusion, but that was unavoidably unfortunately I apologize if not using the term 'NFL' gave you the wrong impression. By all means you'll be able to customise your leagues and team names and have all the teams based in Canada (or wherever you want), and call the league the CFL (or whatever you want). But it will be the CFL in name only. I just don't want you to keep getting your hopes up for no reason for V1. I hope you all understand Francis Last edited by Francis Cole; 02-02-2014 at 12:32 PM. |
