Front Page Sports Football

Old and obsolete. It was an okay attempt at release, but now you're locked into a 2014 season and league with no ability to update it. The interface is so small and now on a modern 4K screen it's not easy on the eyes to play. Looks like support was dropped pretty quickly after release anyway. This isn't the Front Page Sports game that you remember from the 90's...

Terrible!!Terrible!!Terrible!!Terrible!!Terrible!!Terrible!!Terrible!! ; u may get the idea that I think the game is terrible.

I would like to say that firstly I received this game as a gift from someone who thought I wouldn't like it. That being said. I didn't like it. Here is why: It's hard to describe how much not a game that it is. There is virtually no gameplay aside from clicking dialogue boxes. You would be better off playing an excel spreadsheet than this. There was no tutorial, making it exceedingly difficult for someone like me who has little or no knowledge of how to manage a football team. I can't say that it's something that I have much experience in in my life. Maybe if you were an actual football manager in real life you might be able to glean some form of information from the cryptic, poorly written, pull down menus. Prior to the game you train your team which has a random chance of completely being removed on suspension due to drugs. This happened a lot. The games consist of what is essentially those old vibrating football games. There is little to know strategy on what is essentially a strategy based game. You cannot control your players and you cannot directly influence the game in the least bit. When you are playing the entire field is in a tiny little window even on full screen. The only functional difference between full screen and windowed is that full screen takes up your entire screen with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ blurred out picture of what is presumably a football field and doesn't allow you to have any other desktop applications you can redily access. I had to wait an hour for the game that I couldn't play to finish so that I could find out what happened next but thankfully the godsend of a crash allowed me to be free from the purgatory that is Front Page Sports Football. What a horribly programmed, overwhelmingly mismade, pile of monkey spit. I hope the developers stub their toes occasionally and know the reason that they do is because they released this horrible plague upon the world. Dear Devs: Why did you do this?

This game is totally unplayable don't waste your money until they fix some MAJOR!!! bugs and actually give a sh!t about the unfortunate people who handed over hard earned cash for this crap. just fixing the roster bug would at least make it playable

I've been trying to play this game since i downloaded it, but I can't get past the draft. For starters, the draft really makes no sense. I can pick ten players, and I'll get 7 of them. There needs to be more time devoted to scouting prospects. Scouts and GM's go through film, combine, etc. In this game, you start with the first two rounds immediately, and you can only scout up to 4 people. that's dumb. If I am a GM, I'm going to pump money into my scouting. So put more emphasis on the draft, and give us more time to review players. Next, I can't sign anyone. That's ridiculous. I cut 8 players and I keep getting an error, that I can't sign more than 53 players. I have 46. I can't sign rookies, and I can't sign free agents. I'm not rolling with this game until you fix it.

I like the player attributes and using that to try to draft the best players I can, etc. Overall, its probably a good effort, but things are not quite right. On defense, I've seen two players lineup in the same position before the snap (seeing only one then splitting up a little after the snap). I would a find that certain plays that always would succeed and can just blow out my opponents (why use anything else), regardless of team quality. meh. As I play along, it seems to get a little glitchy. I think the old Front Page Football from back during the Dynamix/Sierra period was probably better (especially for it's time period). Perhaps in future editions, Cyanide will improve on it's football "engine."

It would be great, if the training portion was more realistic. A whole team trains every week, not one category at a time. And the crashes........wow, the crashes. Every hour, without fail. It's why I don't even bother playing anymore.

As someone who a) loves sports sims (Seriously - the 600ish hours I've spent on OOTP and Football Manager...) and b) enjoys football occasionally, I am incredibly frustrated by this game. It's completely impossible to navigate - knowing how to scout players is difficult, drafting is an illusion (why, thank you computer for taking my players for me), and trades are, well, I don't know, because I can't figure out how to do them. The key to a good sim is the ability to scout and build a roster - it's impossible in this game, and until they overhaul the UI, it's not worth your time or money.
