Unfortunately, this version does not allow users to create their own leagues, and run multiple teams. You get to run one team in a league that is already set up. Is there a game out there that allows the user to set up a league and run multiple, if not all teams, in that league?
As a long time Steam user, I’ve taken flyers on 49 or 99 cent games before. They have generally fallen into one of three categories; very simple, very old or horribly flawed. This one is of the horribly flawed variety. And while simple and old games can be genuine treats, ‘games’ like Front Page Sports Football offer nothing but misery.
The interface is arcane and clunky, the ‘game play’ is excruciating and often hyper-unrealistic and while American Football strategy titles are few and far between, I’m hard pressed to think of any that I’ve played which ended up feeling like a bigger and more annoying waste of time than this one.
If you are inclined to think the worst thing a game can be is boring, toss 99 cents at Front Page Sports Football and try painful.
Worth every penny. 3D Works. I updated my Windows drivers and I recently randomly gave the 3D mode a shot and it worked! Update your Windows Drivers and then give the 3D a shot. My rig is a Windows 10 Surface outputted to a 60 inch TV display. I took offscreen screen shots with my Iphone and uploaded the shots to my Artwork section if you want to see them! The 3D looks very good actually! I noticed some after effects and HDR that I did not know this game even had. Just update your Windows drivers for your video card and take another look. As far as the rest of the game goes - I figured out what worked and what didnt work. I was able to build a winning team built on the Run Game and Defense. I figured out that you can actually sign Free Agents after the first week of Pre Season games. I was able to replenish my roster every season to more then 53 players. I didnt have to sign my draft picks. I just abused the FA after that first pre-season game and then built my roster that way. My winning strategy was Pro Set balanced attack offense with Weekly Meetings held with my best HB every week - that gave him bonuses going into the games. My HB would have 275 yard rushing games. My defense was a Multiple Formation Set and built on balance and held 3 Scrimmages every week on all defensive formations. I beat the number one offensive team in the Championship game. The old adage - Defense wins championships holds true again! Fun game. Its not stupid Madden. I would highly recommend this game for those of you looking to GM and Strategize your way to building a winner! Check my Public Artwork in My Profile to see my Screenshots proving that I did in fact play this game and did this.
Shows 12 hours played which is more like 30 minutes of frustration and never even getting a started game due to roster issues, followed by 11 hours of internet searching for solutions. I want this game to be playable as it is the only graphical sim I can find but it just is not. I have waited almost a year for some kind of fix but it is obviously not coming.
Guys... This game sucks! I have been waiting on them to send patches with no luck as I still can't play 3d only the moving dot sim option! But there is hope and I know where you need to go...
CHECKOUT AXIS FOOTBALL!
The 2015 version was simplistic but fun and the developer is extremely active. Currently they are working on the 2016 version which they want to put in alot of the modification options just like the old FPS game as well as other league customization options. The problem is they need the money for development of all the add ons they want to do. The first game was built on a $450 budget and they are trying to raise $10,000 to help with the 2016 build. Please check them out the game is sold through steam and they have a kickstarter up where they are trying to get people to help with raising the money. Donaters can sign up for different levels and each level gives you something in return with the starter being a copy of the game when done. So you are not just throwing the money away. Here are the links so PLEASE check them out!

Thanks!
I wish I could un-buy this one. I figured I'd give it some time to work out the bugs, only to find out they will never be fixed. By then, I tried to get my money back but was told that too much time had expired since the original purchase.
- Nothing works.
- No sound.
- Full of bugs.
- Unplayable.
- Not Fun.
That pretty much sums up how much this game sucks and how much the devs suck right along with it. Next time, finish a game if you're going to sell it, even if it's on early access. If I could vote 1000 times on how much this game sucks, it wouldn't be enough.
Has to be the worst Football game ever put out. They stole the name of a great game (FPS 1998) and give us a completely unplayable game. And to boot they do not reply to support tickets. I will boycott buying any games from Cyanide until they fix their games and make some sort of effort to fix the bad games they are putting out.
I had fun playing this game even though sometimes it makes it really hard to enjoy your time spent on the game. With the new update the game runs much smoother and it actually will run well. That is why I am recommending this game because it is a great idea they just need to refine the game. For instance, I have a quarterback with decent running ability but he will never scramble he will just set and throw. It is either he gets sacked or he throws the ball. This stinks because if that would be added a whole new element to the game would open up.
Another thing that I dislike is that in the draft i get all these good players but i cant sign them because i cant sign more than 53 players even though i cut 5 players to make room for the ones i just aquired. This is the part I am having the most trouble with because I draft these great players to fill in holes in my lineup and I cant sign them at all. Other than that i had a fun time playing this game, and even found it a little easy (i won my first game 42-17 even though i was trailing 14-17 at half and my second game 45-10) Also my fullback is a beast. The game tells me that he is not very good but he ran through a ton of people and I relied on him more than anybody else. This tells me that their rating system is off and they just generate random ratings for each player and they don't really effect the game very well. This is a little alarming because that is supposed to be the foundation of a game like this.
If they will keep refining this this it will become a very good game. I also recommend to get this game on sale (i got it for six dollars) because it is not worth twenty dollars and it also goes on sale a lot. This game is overpriced.... so only pick it up if it is on sale 6$ and under is what i would reccomend just to be safe. So overall could be a good game but it has many flaws that ruin the great idea that the game is.
Rating:
5/10 (very limited appeal)
Edit
Well I am changing to to negative now dont buy it. Its not worth your money, just go buy front office football 7 or 8. Its so much better it actually works and makes sense
This thing is terrible. There's a lot of potential for a solid front office football manager game... but this is not it. unless this steaming pile gets a MAJOR overhaul I highly reccomend you do not purchase this game. 90% of the game UI.. and the UX is terrible, laggy, unresponsive, broken and just not even placeholder alpha quality, in many places. The other 10% (if that) is in the 3d gameplay view... TERRIBLE. Why bother trying to do this if you can't even sort of accomplish it. I MUCH prefer just watching the top down circles than the sorry excuse for a 3d backend. Again, FAILED HARD.
So many basic things wrong here, both from an AI perspective and a basic gameplay perspective. Echo the comment about draftable free agents being too strong... why even have a draft? No ability to stop the clock outside of using timeouts. No "half the distance to the goal line" penalties. no ability to adjust your teams pace by not running time off the 35 second clock. It looks good but so much of what's happening doesn't make sense (also too easy to pick up yards with a decent running back.) Game could use a pause button too, unless I missed it.
I actually was around when the original front page sports series came out (football and baseball). And so when I saw the title I took a chance. This is NOT that game. This is probably THE absolute worst game I've ever played, and what's worse is it cost so much. As a 10-15 dollar game, okay maybe but this is an overpriced piece of garbage. There is no game here; its just a masssive spreadsheet. The 'gameplay' if you will is horrible and there are no actual controls over the players. When you consider how amazing Madden is, and I've always wondered why it never stayed on the PC, I felt that this would be a welcome relief from that football drought...sad to say it is frustrating, and horrible.
Save your money; if you want a stats based football game, stick with Football Mogul. It costs way less and doesn't pretend its anything more than that.
This thing's so bad that I really don't know where to start. Forget the glaring technical problems (fixed size UI in 2014... are you serious?), the football side of it is just plain bizarre.
Go for it on fourth down? Nope. Have zone coverage schemes where the dbacks and linebackers actually attempt to cover receivers? Nope. Kicking options besides belting it straight down the middle? Nope. Have access to your whole playbook? Nope. Okay, so the latter has an element of realism to it, but not when you're facing third and long and most of the plays offered are runs. Take starters out the game once the result looks nailed on? Nope. Audibles? Not unless you count the player swearing at the game. Visible play clock whilst calling plays? Nah... that'd be far to sensible. Have play action plays somehow described as such? Nope. Okay, again, that might be somehow realistic, but draws are denoted as such, so why not the opposite? Forward progress? Nope. Challenge flags? Nope. Fumbles? Well, there's a stat for them, but clearly the players all have outstanding ball protection skills because I'm yet to see one in 4-5 matches.
Just don't buy this. Please, don't. I'd love a decent NFL head coach + O/D co-ordinator + the interesting bits of GM sim, but this really isn't it. Even slightly. At all.
As an avid Football Manager player and unlike other reviews, I find the game quite good for what it costs and the fact that there's no US Football game around.
Sure, it needs some more polishment, some bug fixes, etc. But I find it really enjoyable for those tiny 15€.
The game engine is decent (doesn't seem worse than Football Manager for example), the UI isn't that bad honestly.
There's only 3 big problems that annoy me for the moment :
- No way to speed up a match
- Poor filter options when you're looking for new players
- The window size... Kinda silly for a fullscreen mode. Even worst when you want to watch a game in 3D (I don't)
I just hope that Cyanide plans on patching the annoying bugs somehow (some UI elements are poorly presented, I can't see the game in 3D because it's freezing like crazy, etc) and improve some little things that doesn't have to wait for a new iteration of the game (no way to control the 4th down.. Poor kick-off options, somes American Football rules are just wrong).
PS : Sorry, my english sucks.
So far, I can't recommend this. It has a clunky, hard to use UI, seems a bit cheap, and, worst of all, has wonky player, team, and league information. It's difficult to tell who is or isn't good, there are very limited options in terms of managing the team and contracts, etc.... I've only played a little bit so far, because hopefully mods and such will improve things in the short term and Cyanide works out clunky bugs in the long term. I desperately want a good football management sim, but this isn't one right now.
Not as good as FPS 98 at all.
Needs
Abilities to build uniforms the way you want to, color wheel, fonts, stripes, helmets, facemasks, socks.
Abilities to build your own roster or modify a current roster
Abilities to modify all the teams in league (Logo, Fields, Uniforms, Coachs ect)
Abilities to set league size and leage rules
Abilities to select pre set league rules/sizes (ie CFL, AFL, NFL, NCAA, Highschool)
These were the quickest things I was extremely disappointed with.
Oh, also the first and foremost thing the game needs to not lock up and crash every time you try to advance a week.
Another review talks about all the missing rules and other things that are messed up. I can even get to that poin in the game. Read the other reviews as well!
I was super excited when i saw this coming was coming, now I wish I had wanted to read reviews.
- No explanation
- Poor user interface
- no sound? at least not for me.
- game stopped simulating for me afte a couple weeks.
- FAQs are in general not useful
- and the list goes on.
I really hope this gets more work, the original was so well done that this is just nothing be disappointing at this point.
I will change my review if the game is improved.
I really want to like this game and I hope it gets fixed but as it stands now it is unplayable. My teams games aren't actually played or simulated. It just says 'Planned' and is never played. The pre-season and first week every game played, the second week my game was the only one this way. The second week about 6 other games had the same problem and week three 4 other games were not played. So some teams have now played 4 games and I've only played one.
Inability to play aside, this game needs work. It seems like a soccer fans version of a football sim. The free agent market has enough high quality rookies to build a team around (as best I can tell) including available red circle players who are suposed to be the best players in the game. Quality rookies are almost never available as free agents in the NFL, as they would all be drafted. There might be a few that slip through the draft, but it usually isn't easy to see who they might be until a clever team takes a flyer on them. There are certainly no NFL starter caliber QBs as rookie free agents. There were three very good to star type rookies just waiting to be signed in this game. And in general an available rookie star or more at each position in the free agent market. It's much more like the soccer transfer market.
The 3D view looks nice but isn't very useful, you are stuck at about a first row of the stands view with no ability to adjust the view. Since it is 3D why can't you change the view? Isn't the the point of 3D? Anyway it is almost impossible to tell what linemen or anyone on the other side of the field is doing in this view.
Playcalling is just a big list, it should be broken down by formation and play type.
The whole thing feels unwieldy with a lot of information overload and no real way to feel like you know what is going on.
I still have the Front page football 98. One reason that I loved that game was that you can customize players and ratings and everything in between. Thats what this game needs, is the ability to customize your players. Whats the point of creating a custom league if you can't change the players names and ratings. I only played game for a few minutes because my pc kept freezing up. Game needs more updates. when I finally got to the game (match) that I was to play. it froze. I am one who would like you to stick to the old game with much improved graphics. If it aint broke. I will continue to try to play game because I am a fan but opening for some updates real soon. want to recommend game very badly, but I don't think that it would be fare with the way the game stands today. update it fast, please!!! PS Game not freezing because I have a old computer I actually have a very good computer should have any problems.
I will come back and edit this review if the game improves, since I'm writing this on the first day of release. First of all, kudos to any developer and publisher who attempts to create an American football manager game - We are starving for such a game!!!!!!!!!! Sadly, the first impression of Front Page Sports Football is not good. Keep mind I'm writing this after only 10 minutes of gameplay. It's a "first impression" review.
It's definitely an "Early Access" version with lots of work to be done. It needs about 6 months of work in my opinion before it's a 4 out of 5 star game. Currently, I give it 1 out of 5 stars. My first impression is that there's no obvious way to edit player names or team names other than your own team name. Many of the player names are odd and unusual names. I'm not hearing any sound. The simulated game is displayed in a tiny small window and has no camera angles to choose, it quickly goes to the next play without giving the ability to rewind or re-watch the play, nor any control of the camera for that matter. It definitely needs the ability to replay the play, the flow is too fast. You can pause the play, however, but you can't go to previous play or skip to the next play. With no sound and no camera controls it doesn't give a good first impression. It's zoomed so far out that I can't really see anything, are my linemen doing any good? My receivers on the far side of the field, can barely see them at all. My cornerback is setup backwards pointing his butt towards the receiver before the snap. I do like the training schedule to improve your team players. I don't like that it starts me out on Day #4 after the draft. I would prefer to begin on Day #1 starting with the draft. There seems to be a lot of players suspended for illegal drugs. I will lose interest in this very quickly in its current state.
**Update - 10/10/14**
After starting a new league with the new patch and playing the 2 preseason games, I still feel that this game falls extremely short of the mark. Contrary to the patch notes, there is still no initial draft. Kick/punt return yardage is still incorrect. The game still doesn't feel like football, but more importantly, it's simply not fun. Getting through 2 preseason games felt like a chore (I might add that I've played through many, many seasons in FOF7 and PFS and loved every second of it).
On the plus side, the new 3D camera angles are nice, but not nearly enough to make this game playable. Overall, I didn't really see anything changed in the patch to keep me interested.
I really wanted to like this, but due to the fact that this game is still extremely tedious and non-immersive, my (non)recommendation has not changed.
Currently 1.5 / 10
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am a huge fan of both sport management games and football and there hasn't been a good football management/coaching game made in some time. Needless to say, I was very excited when I heard that this franchise was being revived... Unfortunately I have been very disappointed so far. So far I've only played 2 preseason games and these are a few of the issues I've found:
*No initial draft - You're given a team to start with and have no control over who's on it.
*No 4th down conversions as far as I can tell. There is a category for it in the game recap screen but every time I've had a 4th and short the AI decided to punt automatically.
*No 2 point conversions... Very frustrating.
*No onside kicks... Again, this is a necessity if you're trailing late in a game. None to be found here.
*Quarterbacks like to throw to receivers who are well covered even if another is wide open.
*On the flipside, defensive backs have a tendancy to either stay a few yards away from the receiver they're supposed to cover or just not cover him at all. This is probably my biggest annoyance at the moment.
*No forward progress - If the ball carrier picks up yardage and then gets pushed back, the ball is spotted where the play ended.
*Incorrect yardage for kick/punt returns - On several occasions I've seen a kick returner tackled before he gets to the 20 yet is still awarded a return of ~35 yards.
*Blitzing doesn't seem to be effective in the slightest. I'll have to do some more experimentation on that, though.
*You are limited to 16 plays from your playbook on each play meaning that sometimes the play that you really want to call may not be available.
*There are all sorts of grammatical errors and typos.
*The only penalties I've encountered thus far are offensive offside and illegal contact.
*No play clock.
*No audibles.
*3D view is simply useless. The 2D overhead is much better for diagnosing what's going on on the field.
*There appears to be no multiplayer whatsoever, not even local.
These are just the issues I've noticed right off the bat. I haven't even really messed with the managerial side of things yet. As it stands, this game feels like a very early alpha and in its current state I couldn't recommend it to anybody. Hopefully it will improve with time, but for now I'd advise you to stay away.
