He has had that game in the works for 3-4 years now. Seems to be more focused on their wrestling game now.

I have constantly been tempted with buying BBCF and joining ta college league but I'm holding out hope for college levels to be playable in this game in the future.

We're recruiting for a new real-time (weeklly) sim league starting this fall. See my sig for details. Please remove if this is considered spamming, I just thought some folks may be interested.

Hey, Rizzo, the link is in my signature.

Loved this game. It and OOTP got me through the tough times of grad school. Lost the game when my laptop died, have no idea how to get my license back other than buying a whole new copy.

game needs an update

DD Martin · 07-05-2015, 06:25 PM

I have played this game off and on for years and it is still a very good game (but the crashes are annoying). It desperately needs an update with all the changes in the game since 2005. Besides the offenses that have changed so much, the conferences, speed of the game etc are all major changes since then.

Here is hoping that someday we will see a college football game like this again, but I am not holding out a lot of hope.

I haven't done any of the online leagues, but several are still out there and i might try one. Overall still a good game and the recruiting is enjoyable.

There's an update available and its currently in beta!

I saw that and while I'm a big college football fan and would love to play a sim football league I wasn't a huge fan of the game when I played the demo. I think I'm going to hold out until BTS comes to fruition to get my football sim fix and then await the playable college level after that.

Yea I feel the same way. I am going to wait and see what new features are put in. I feel the same way about FOF.

baseballonly · 08-24-2015, 09:59 PM

I would recommend BBCF. I can play it for hours solo and never get tired.

Mike Lowe · 08-25-2015, 02:08 AM

Hey, guys. We're recruiting for a brand new CFB 2015 league.

Here is the most recent news as we just released the league file today. Our first stage of training camp runs on Wednesday.

www.simsportsglobal.com

With the AWESOME news that Grey Dog has released a 2015 patch which even includes a 4-team playoff, the SSG College Football league has started over (we were only a few weeks into training camp!).

We just uploaded our new league file, and week 1 of training camp gets simmed Wednesday at 12pm noon ET. Our first games will be played September 5th to coincide with the actual NCAA FB season.

Take a look around the site (especially the NCAA FB links), and fill out an application if you're interested!

This looks great - now I just need to figure out how to get my license back after the laptop crash a few years ago.

I'd try sending Arlie an email. He got back to me about mine in a day or two.

I will try and locate his email and send him a message. Thanks

SirMichaelJordan · 08-30-2015, 11:16 AM

I see that staff can be edited now. Are you able to edit offense/defense preference along with name and ratings?

One thing that put me off buying this game was that in my time playing the demo most of the teams were playing a old school offense. Seem like the option (wishbone/t-bone) was played by a large % of AI teams.

getheroff · 09-03-2015, 12:13 PM

Yes you can edit offense/defense preference for coaches as well as names and rating...but only the OC, DC, and ST Coordinator (not the HC/your own ratings). Yes, Arlie needs to update the game, as the offenses are still a bit old school. But I wouldn't say that most teams run option variants.

I really hope he picks this game up and starts developing it again. The recent update was good, but if he did a comprehensive update of the game and re-packaged it as BBCF 2015/6 I think he would be very successful. There is a huge niche market yearning for a good college football sim and at its core BBCF is a very solid game. I actually posted a message on his forums encouraging him to do so:

Fumbles on Kickoff (and a thank you) - Grey Dog Software

so I would go over there and do the same if anyone is at all interested in college football games.

Mike Lowe · 09-04-2015, 12:20 AM

We're still recruiting (pun!) for our league that sims week 1 on Saturday!

www.simsportsglobal.com

Fill out an app, and I can try and get you activated ASAP. Please be patient as I'm on vacation in Hawaii for the next week though!

Get the game though while it's on sale on Steam!
