What great news!

FFS, finally! Exactly what Jim needed to get FOF into more people's hands while also cleaning up the look and feel of the game.

Best news I’ve heard in a while! When can we expect some photos of the new game? A little teaser please!

But the stastical engine and the ideas. The features. The depth. Unparalleled. Unmatched. All that game needed was the OOTP treatment. And it’s happening. Wow. This should be front page news on The site. Finally a game to rival front page sports football - the greatest game of all time (OOTP a close second).

Never looked at F O F but if it really rivals FrontPage Sports football then I am ready to pay now !

Wow, this is great! Front Office Football with a modern OOTP interface is exactly what the genre needed. Congrats to everyone involved.

Outstanding news -- really looking forward to this.

Khan · 02-22-2018, 12:33 AM

Awesome News!

Have played a few versions of FOF and a team up with the OOTP team seems a great fit!!

PSUColonel · 02-22-2018, 06:13 AM

Hoping FOF will also be developed for Mac!!

Rob Morris · 02-22-2018, 08:04 AM

This is great news, a match made in heaven.

Would it be possible to include some kind of tribute in the game to the late Francis Cole? A mention in the credits or on the splash screen? An in game stadium named after him? Just an idea.

Exactly how I feel, my eyes will start to bleed everytime I have tried to play FOF before. So Great news!

We did this for Howard in OOTP 18, so it makes sense to do the same for Francis.

Grats to both Jim & OOTP. Hopefully this leads to more FoF releases and TCY releases.

Big big news.

spleen1015 · 02-22-2018, 01:11 PM

Oh yeah, forgot to ask.

Can you throw us a little something? A screenshot of the roster screen perhaps?

Robmeister89 · 02-22-2018, 01:20 PM

Yes, a teaser please

Been playing since Front office football 2 way back in the day. This is uuuuuuuuuuugggggggeeeeeeeeeeeee news.

thefatcat · 02-23-2018, 04:59 AM

FOF player here and this is great news. Jim how will this effect the FOF on line leagues, will all 32 GMs need to buy a new game every year or will we all have to play on one version, so for instance we have to stay on v2018 even though the game may be on the 2020 version?

Scoman · 02-23-2018, 09:16 AM

Awesome news!!! Will the game include historical play?
