Front Office Football

"Excellent Job for a small game!"

Intro

I have purchased the Windows Front Office Football. I have showed it to a few friends in the past, all of them said that it was lame. Well, I will admit that it looks pretty odd when you first start it. This game is meant for graphics on football, it is for football lovers wanting to manage a team as a coach would do. This involves skill and concern for your team. You will get to draft rookies every year and will get to sign unrestricted free agents. This makes the game a whole lot more realistic. Anyway, I will rate this game based on opinion...

Graphics

?/10

This game is not at all a graphical game. It is simulating games and managing a roster. This obviously will not display graphics. I don't have much else to say about this aspect of the game. I really don't want to rate it either.

Gameplay

10/10

This is the real part of the game that most people would enjoy. There is one overall mode for the game. That is to manage a team. Inside this are many other game modes such as...

Draft: You can draft new rookies for your team. You get a pick based on your performance the previous season.

Free Agents: People that are currently not signed are free to anyone who will give them a ligitiment signing bonus.

Season: This is where you simulate your games. You can watch the scoreboard and call play by play or you can just simulate the total game. After each game you should go to the box scores to see how you did statistic wise.

Fun Factor

10/10

On a scale of 1-10 I would rate this 10. You will be addicted to this game for hours. Every time you finish a game mode part you are ready for the next mode. It is like an unbroken cycle.

Replay Value

10/10

This game is very fun to replay. Considering there are 31 teams plus expansion teams, there are many ways to start each with a different strategy. This makes the game longer and much more fun. I would recommend this to anyone looking for good replay value as it is one of THE best.

Buy or rent?

I don't think you can even rent it. Thus, buy it!

Overall

10/10

This game is great! Don't judge the game by the cover. It is one of the best simulating games ever and will continue to make series of more games. Good bye for now.
