I have played FOF since version one and am a big fan of the game.

I do wish the interface and in-game experience was better, but it is a very deep game and one that I can and do play for long careers, often decades of seasons.

I will say this about Football Mogul, over the years I have tried the mogul games. For the most part I have found Baseball Mogul to be a simple game that I enjoy from time to time for a day or two - the absurd results keep me from ever playing it long term.

every time I have tried playing football mogul in the past, I have found it to be really, really bad - not worth playing at all. However after reading this I tried the new demo and I must say the game is much better than previous versions. I thought the in-game play calling was pretty good and better at least at first look than FOF. Now all sim games staying power come down to how realistic they can be. I won't stick with long term games that don't have at least moderately realistic results. No telling how well this version of Football mogul holds up - but I would be interested to hear from someone who owns it.
