There was also a game a couple years before FPS that was just called "NFL" or something. If I remember correctly it was just a black box with NFL on it. I remember you had to answer questions every time you turned the game on to verify it wasn't a copy of the game. "Whats the 4th word on page 26", etc. It was just Xs and Os on a screen but man was it good. Edit: Wow here it is. NFL Challenge. 1985 hahaha i guess it was more than a "couple years". NFL Challenge was how I got into roto/fantasy sports, except back then I didn't know fantasy sports even existed. 3 of my friends and I picked teams consisting of all players in the NFL and I would just simulate the games in NFL Challenge. Whichever person's "team" got the most rushing yards got four points, 2nd most three points, etc. I kept all the stats in a notebook manually. We did this for a bunch of categories and played a lot of seasons. Little did we know it would become a huge thing many years later. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GF_YEq5nkio Watching this video I can smell the fan of my 1984 Tandy computer like it's in front of me.

I own FoF, but stopped playing it more than a year ago. The interface is horrible, the teeny tiny font is too hard on my eyes, and the play diagrams are difficult to read and look like they were drawn by a 7 year old.

Qrashman,
Yes I played NFL Challenge we used to just call it XOR football lol (that was the creators I believe. I do believe FPS and XOR were great games. I find it absurd that no one can make a better game LOL. I mean it has only been over 17 years ago HAHA! Enforcer Quote:

FBPRO98 is still the Gold Standard for Online leagues imo, Create your own plays, use them in h2h league games. Sadly no matter how much we who loved it would like a game similar, this is a very small niche market were talking about. It falls into no-mans land not a true text sim and not an arcade game. It is for Hard Core Coach Mode gamers who also want the GM feel. <Sigh> I miss that game....
damn you FBpro99 for ruining the world

Last, another game that had a lot of promise (followed by a pretty hard crash landing from what I recall) was .400 Studio's game...Total Pro Football was it?

TPF was good with tons of promise but from what I understand internal issues within .400 studios caused it to die while the coder, Arlie, went on to found Greydog software. He has hinted from time to time of doing another pro game (his BBCF college game is still great) but doesn't seem to have done anything.

Front Page Sports Games have Live Play by Play. Total Control Football has the hole aspect of been a GM. NNBTK16 has Social Media,Adam Silver doing Draft,Live by Play,Teams can move but no League Evoultion like OTTP meaning the Computer can't expand League. Fast Bresk Basketball/NBATK16 don't have full Offseason Mode like FHM/OTTP because those Games have a date when Free Agent Period starts but those Basketball Games do the same thing so if Durant wants to wait intill like Septembet 12 he can not the 30 day Period.
