Front Page Sports Football....EGAD!
Hey Guys - i just received an e-mail that Cyanide studios is re-releasing Front Page Sports Football - which was the greatest sports game ever created.
Out of the Park Baseball is probably now my all-time favorite - but oh no - decisions decisions! Do i wait for BTS and bank on the quality and expertise of the OOTP folks....or jump back on the Front Page Sports bandwagon!!!!! |

BTS Isn't being released until some point next year so you can use FPS Football to pass time till it's released.

Having played quite a few Cyanide games, I have to say that they tend to make nice games but of inferior quality to what OOTPD does.
So if you can only choose one, I'd wait for BTS. If you can afford and have the time for both though, go for both. |

I still have the same game files from my league - 30 years of team history ready to be restored if the game is viable......
I'm imagining that BTS will be a spiritual successor to Front Page Sports - but only time shall tell. The company making FPS isn't Dynamix or Sierra - so i am not confident it's going to be any good |

Well lets hope they do a better job with BTS then rhey did with the hockey game. If not I lean towards FPSF.............................................. Z

Noticed this has no relation to the game by the same title in the 90s. They just named it the same. Kind of takes the wind out. I also saw an old interview done in 2009 where they kept referring to the game as a "match" and said there is no single player.
Certainly not promising. |

That information from 2009 is old - they did have an online version which was not good. The new info is dated July 31 (check them on facebook) - and they expect to release single player before football season starts.

I read about it 5 days ago here:
Front Page Sports Football Set to Arrive Just in Time For the Upcoming Season - Operation Sports not sure enough about it though. If it's web based I'll be passing on it along with a primary focus on MP. If it looks good I'll be getting it but that won't stop me from playing BTS and FOF for that matter. The screenshot it can't figure out why the UI is so small and the background is so large... edit: http://www.cyanide-studio.com/games/...page-football/ is this the same one? I hope not...

Well, does anyone know how good this game is:
Cyanide - Games - Basketball Pro Management because if that isn't any good then I will be bummed because the football game will likely not be good either. |

Never heard of that game but I am in need of a good basketball manager (DDS CB/PB has little to no support and is full of problems; FBB/FBCB is too limited compared to DDS's basketball games) I winder if anyone here checked this one out. Edit- Seem like the big focus for 15 was the AI. The game has some pretty interesting features (womans basketball) The steam reviews are discouraging though but its hard to take some of those comments seriously when someone states that 2k manager is far better than ootpb..

EDIT: The other thing to keep in mind is that they were only the publisher on that basketball game that received poor reviews, not the developer so there is still hope this game won't suck too. I couldn't find if they were making the game or some other studio was. Last edited by pizzaddict; 08-07-2014 at 03:16 PM. |

Can someone give me a review on Front Office Football? Pros and cons? I've been dying for a football sim ever since Front Page Sports died in the 1990s......nothing has been remotely good..

Interesting that this comes out, but my money is still on an OOTP developments crew producing a better game just because OOTP has always been immersive and had an emphasis on information and history being available. Although Front Office Football has a decent game for realistic and unpredictable results, it's presentation is lacking and really takes away from the immersion. I'll definitely want some reviews before I purchase Front Page but I'll at least read about it.
