Front Office Football Nine

This is the best pro football simulation game on the market, and it's not even close. But you won't be able to enjoy the game unless you take substantial time to understand how the game engine works. You need to invest a lot of time to understand what your offensive philosophy and defensive scheme mean in terms of the type of specific players (i.e., attribute profiles) who will succeed in a respective scheme / philosophy. You really need to look at specific attributes and height / weight that perform best at each position in each scheme / philosophy (i.e., you can't just look at overall ratings). Then you also need to create a playbook and game plan tailored to the specific roster you constructed. If you don't do all of these tasks correctly, your team won't perform well. You can't simply delegate depth charts / game planning to the AI (the AI doesn't do a very good job at any of these items). This is the primary reason there are so many bad reviews, as people aren't investing the time to fully understand how this game works in terms of inputs / outputs. So, unless you are willing to invest the time to understand the game mechanics, I wouldn't recommend buying the game. If you are …

If you want the data, stats and control of a GM this game is great!

The interface takes a little getting used to, but the game is incredibly immersive once you get into it.

I was very much enjoying this game until in my 3rd season I went to progress to the next week and received an error that there was a "potential issue with skipped games." None of the games in the league were "played," but the game progressed to the next week. The game auto-saved when I closed it, so with no way to go back in my save to before the issue, my game that I'd poured about ~60 hours into was rendered unplayable. When I continued trying to progress through the season, all the games continued to be skipped. I wish there were archived save points so that I could try going back. This is a great game, but with an issue like this, I cannot recommend it unfortunately. I very much hope this can be fixed in the future. UPDATE: After determining what caused the issue, I reach out to customer service letting them know. They promptly replied and have not issued a patch which fixes this issue. Therefore I have change my review to a recommendation, as I greatly appreciate the continued support for FOF9.
