Re: Football Mogul 18. You can probably just skip it. It's got some fun factor to it but it's got a ton of problems.
-The scouting and research that went into each player is pretty lazy. Ex: the 40 yard dash times are all wrong. Willie Gault's 40 time is listed as 4.45. If they didn't have time to research all the 40s, then they shouldn't have listed them at all. Also, Hall of Famer Darrell Green's scouting report stated that he "wasn't much of a football player" or something to that effect! It's insane. It really makes me appreciate how much effort, time, and research the OOTP team puts into each and every single player to ensure historical accuracy. I really take OOTP for granted sometimes.
-The game simulations are...questionable. My 1990 Raiders are playing the Broncos. We're up 28-24 with under 4 minutes left. Bo Jackson fumbles and Dennis Smith returns the fumble 83 yards for a TD. Okay. Somehow, we answer them and score a TD and take a 35-31 lead with under a minute left. Denver gets the ball and we're in a Dime defense. Denver scores on a 72 YARD SCREEN PASS to Bobby Humphrey. They win the game 38-35. I almost threw my laptop out the window.
-In summary, avoid Football Mogul 18 at all costs. You're better off playing FOF 8 or even the older Front Page Sports Football Pro games (96 is my personal favorite).
