Are You Ready For Some (Front Office) FOOTBAAAAALLLLL????

HUGE news for my fellow Football Video Game nerds…

Jim just announced Front Office Football 9 is coming out later this month!

For the uninitiated, Front Office Football has been “the” NFL simulator since the 90s.  No, forget Madden, which is a piece of shit.  Front Office Football is the super detailed football game that has every feature people demand from Madden every year.  Seriously. For real.

(That said, don’t come here looking for graphics.  That’s the only area where Madden wins. But if you want a full blown NFL game where you can manage a franchise for hundreds of years, this one is for you.

After announcing the end of FOF three years ago as the independent developer had decided to hang up his hat after three decades and go get a “real” job…he’s suddenly back, and with a new version of the game ready to go!

(Also, don't get thrown by the fake team names, that's just a licensing issue.  You can easily rename the teams in seconds to the correct team names.  Real players are included, no editing required).

Football Mogul 2024 has really improved as a simulator. I recommend it for simulating football if you don’t want to micromanage a lot of things. I tend to just draft and set rosters. The game can start as early as 1951.

I've tried a previous iteration of Football Mogul -- at your recommendation, probably -- but it just didn't scratch that same itch.  Granted it's been several years since I've played either so I no longer remember the differences between the two anymore, but I just couldn't get into FM the same way I got into FOF.

I think my main reason for it getting into FOF is that it didn’t seem to have historical years. I like simming 1951-present. I’ll get the new FOF if historical years are included.
