Sadly, no one has yet seen fit to let me run the front office of an NFL franchise.
Along the lines of this thinking... do you guys think theres a viable product in a videogame that focuses more on the Front Office/Coaching/GM aspect of Football rather than simply a licensed NFL football game with some franchise modes?
With our new XOS investment I've been mulling over the idea of creating with either Take2 or Microsoft (or whoever) a non licensed football game that features recreations of the exact tools many teams use to run their franchises from the film room/playmaking to cap and franchise management.
I see this game being more than a seasonal game but rather something that becomes a "year round living product" with several "virtual" persistant leagues.
Owners can drop out and be added or you can have the CPU manage the extra teams.
It would certainly be a subscription based game instead of a yearly $50 a pop game.. since its in essence a year round process now.
Any thoughts? How sim can you get? My thought is you still need a football game to play...but perhaps some owners could simply have the CPU play for them?
I think that would be badass. Sign me up!
my girlfriend and I were just talking about something like this. a NFL sim game, or mmorpg/ sim where you manage daily activites, staff, slarary issues, player performance and meedia issues, marketing, etc...the football playing could be a footnote to the micromanaging. Or something to the effect that I could start out as a promotions lackey and work my way up to head of PR for a team and if desired I could shop my virtual resume around to oother franchises for a new position, etc...
This sort of thing has been talked about for a long time, but it''s a bold move that no one has made just yet.

Sounds cool. If the GWJers started playing, I''d certainly want in. Kind of a niche game, the management sim, but if it didn''t cost too much to produce, it would be a great idea.

See, Thats why I can never be a venture capitalist. When I read the idea I ran out and copyrighted ""Ersatz Wombat"". Man, I wish I had THAT $32 bucks back.
