Football sims?
 
What are the best football sims on the market today?

dave1927p 09-02-2019 11:28 AM

The only options that I'm aware of besides Madden is currently Front Office Football 8 and Wolverine Studios Football game.

I still play a lot of FOF8 to tie me over but the GUI is terrible with outdated rosters.

Actually there are a few others the best of which is probably Second and Ten from Roo Games in England. Difficult but possible to run careers lots of historical rosters---nice game.

Do you know Action Pc Football of Dave Koch sports game?
It's a very very accurate simulation of football i like so much. Exist in Pro and College version, you can buy the seasons.
The only limit is that you can play only single seasons

DDSPF 20 from Wolverine Studios just came out and you can run 2 years in the Demo. This has been a huge upgrade from 19.


Edit: Here is a review from Operation Sports.

This may be the new go to football sim. It’s a shame FOF 9 isn’t out to create some real competition in this genre.

I'd still take FOF8 over the Wolverine Studios game

This one isn't looking too bad from what I am gathering.

Axis Football 2019
Pro Strategy Football 2020 all coming out this month.

I find that pro strategy gives good results for stats, I'm not sure about Axis.

Has anyone played any of these. I am finally ready to take the leap. Sick and tired of waiting for fof. Never heard of pro strategy but it looks great

I think I might pick up DDSPF 2020.....it’s getting very good marks from the few reviews and YouTube videos I have come across. Everyone who has tried it says it’s vastly improved from previous versions, and is very much on par with FOF.

I tried the demo and liked it a lot. Not surprised that it's getting favorable reviews. I'll be purchasing it in the very near future.

I do think this is the one! Thanks to everyone responding!

I'm really enjoying it, and I've joined a great online league too which helps as well. There are still openings as well, and it's a long-time league with great people running it that is in 2033 in-game, so it's been around for many real-life years and you know isn't going anywhere.

We are just winding up the 2033 draft, so a good time to jump in... Anyone who has the game let me know if you're looking for a league, there are openings in the one I'm in (Weekend Warriors Pro Football)

It's match engine is its biggest strength. I dislike the interface but other than that it's really enjoyable. I think I'll prefer playing FOF9 because if its really a product alike OOTP and FHM, it's depth will be out of this world (just like FOF8's depth is, but the interface makes it hard to find stuff.)

Try the demo out. It might be a good hold over.

Could you expand in why the engine is the biggest strength?

Reminds me of Football Manger with all the 2D dots showing the plays.

But that's doesn't demonstrate the engine is strong, that demonstrates that has visual graphics, which is a completely different matter.

A strong engine presents expected results for the ratings of the players, of course with a little variance to make it fun but not a lottery, does this game have this??

DDSPF20 on Mac
 
Has anybody tried to play this on a mac using any windows emulator programmes, and if so does it work?

I am looking for something to tide me over until FOF comes out, a sim based game with as in depth franchise mode as possible and DDSPF20 seems to be the best around at the moment.
