What would make Footy Fanatic the greatest Sim game ever?

[Dane Swan Fan]

IMO all it has to do is fix a few Bugs and have a 'Record' page like in Total Aussie Rules. One for the current seasons records and one for all time.

yeah just fix the bugs. I can't think of anything else right now. It has just about everything.

Have you played Total Aussie Rules before?

They have an amazing feature which tells you the Records from the Current season and all time. Like Biggest score, Lowest, Biggest Win, Best 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Quater scores. Most goals in a game, most touchs, most kicks, handballs, marks and hit outs.

Aah yes - the bugs... The main reason I didn't bring out a brand new version this year is because I'm concentrating on a major update for the start of next year and what plenty of time to do error checking.

Unfortunately the last version put out there still has some bugs in - that's why I created the backup career option in the very last version because I hate the thought of people spending hours building up a career only to have it stop working.

A lot of the bugs mentioned have already been fixed up but because of how much code has been rewritten I won't be able to bring out anymore updates until the next major one.

Rest assured there will be plenty of new things added in when it does come out which will then hopefully make it the greatest Sim game ever!

I'm pumped for this game. **** Total Aussie Rules and there pussy $40. Footy Fanatic is awesome and a reason why his sim is used more.

I have both FF and the demo of TAR. I find FF annoying when you have to wait for all the other games to be played, takes quite a while on my comp. Maybe I'm just weird, but I prefer TAR and would love to have the full version.

I agree on waiting to sim all the other games... on my crappy computer it takes me 5-10 minutes to do one round. I have played the demo of TAR and of what I've seen Footy Fanatic is way better.

 

[Dane Swan Fan]

Thats another thing with FF. If you could just play you're game and sim fast the other games. It would be so great.

 

[Milanista]

The other thing with FF is the players retire young!

Can you buy TAR from somewhere and if yes where i mean a shop not the net, also are there any other afl managment games what are they called and where can i find them?

This suggestion has came up a bit but I'm still not sure if I'll implement it. The reason for the long sim time for CPU games is it creates much more interesting and realistic results if the other games are played in the same way yours are. When you start to create two totally different ways of running through a game you tend to get a difference between your stats and the more generic simmed stats that would occur with a quick version.

There are so many different variables that can happen in the game and you would have to take a lot of these out if you didn't run through the other games in the same 'play by play' manner.

I prefer it the way it is for that reason - everything stays authentic looking.

I would suggest an option to sim all the non-player games automatically rather than having to click and start each one individually though, so say you were playing the 3rd game of the round, game's 1 then 2 automatically sim, game stops, you play your game, and on completion games 4, 5, 6, 7 then 8 play out

Yep I like that. Nothing I hate more than unrealistic scores.

Footy Fanatic is a awesome game. Just needs the Record stat part, Easyer results to look at and realstic player rankings. Presi ranked 25 in all areas. HAHA.
