Okay, Ive heard everybody talk about how Footy Fanatic was such a great game so I tried to get it, but like most people, it didnt work for me. So are there any other AFL games out there like that? Or is that some place where I can get my hands on an earlier version of Footy Fanatic.

Cheers!

There is a game called Kevin Sheedy's AFL Coach that you can buy for about $30, but it is a fairly ordinary game.

Hmm...yeah, Ive heard about that and its meant to be pretty crappie. Any why buy a game when u can get an (apperently) better game for free?

Im pretty sure Footy Fanatic is the only one around that is free.

I love it. It only has one fault in my eyes.

If a player gets an injury that goes for example 6 weeks in Round 17 (so he is due to come back in the first final), something happens in the switch from season to finals where players that are injured and due to come back never come back. This cost me a premiership once when 6 of my top ten players (my ruck, CHF, FF, CHB, no.1 midfielder, no.1 small forward) were all classed as injured in the last round and due to come back for the first final but i could not play them because they were still classed as injured during the finals. So a probably premiership turned into bombing out by 80 points in the prelim!!!

Thats the only fault in the game that i can find.

Funny you mention that Macca.
Because this exact thing happened to me today, and yes it did cost me a premiership as I had only 22 fit players in my whole squad.

How come Footy Fanatic will not work for you? Have you tried emailing the person that wrote it?

Try all you can to get it working. It rocks!

Footy Fanatic is great, but the draft always buggers itself on me.

Ive never had anymore than 6 injuries at the one time...but its just annoying when you look forward to getting a few players back, for the first or second final but it doesnt happen because you cant get players back during finals.

I might email the guy and tell him about it and see if he can fix it.
