Football Sim

Ok guys, a few days ago the question was asked if there was a good football sim, the answer is yes. I'm currently in a Football sim, called Front Office Football7(FOF7), it is a good sim, the software runs smoothly, the program is good. It appears the main guy putting together OOTP's beyond the sidelines has had some health issues and it will be a bit longer before that game rolls out. If any of you wish to dig around in the FOF7 forums here's a link, and if anyone of you have any questions feel free to ask

Do you have a link to your league?

I looked at FOF awhile back and it appeared that it needed an "always on, dedicated FTP server."

once you have everything setup ingame, it's simply a click of the mouse"import league file" very simple

if we start up a football sim, the baseball one will die. We've shown countless times there's not enough commitment for 2 leagues.

Start the league really small and only allow the most active board members in. Me, you and a few other obvious ones I think we can all be confident in all being active in both.

Invite only!!!

We may be able to draw from old NDL'ers that aren't in OOTP, but would enjoy a football sim. You never know until you try.

That league looks really cool frozenrope, love the logos and seeing the old names up there.

I haven't checked it out yet, just got home 15 minutes ago, but I am in if we do.
And I am good for 2 leagues, I will just drop out of my other OOTP league.
