Text Sim Purchase of the Weekend

whizkid1950 · 05-03-2008, 09:49 AM

I'm going to take the plunge this weekend and buy a game I skipped in the past 12 months. Help me make the decision. Assuming you had no preference for a particular sport, using only play value, immersiveness, and likelihood of being replaced by something better in the next two months, as your determining factors - which of the following would you buy right now, if you were me?

1. Solecismic's Front Office Football 2007
2. Wolverine's Draft Day Sports Pro Basketball
3. Grey Dog's Bowl Bound College Football
4. SI's Eastside Hockey Manager

Feel free to rank 'em if you want

Of those four, I'd recommend Bowl Bound College Football.

Although, if your not aware, DDS: College Basketball form Wolverine is a very deep/addicting game.

1- EHM: very good game, no more updates so you may start a franchise a never get back!!! If you get this go to The blue line, a good fansite with a lot of activity
2- FOF 2007: good game. Not very user-friendly
3- DDSPB: good game, in a different way from FOF. Here you have more eye candy, a nice way to follow every game (if you manage them all), but not too much depth in my opinion. There are some good fan made rosters, even historical.

I don't have Bowl Bound College.

Hope this helped.

I'd go with EHM.

Thanks for the reply, and yes.. I've been playing the heck out of DDS:CB. Very addicting.

Oh, and I have played the demos of all these games

Bowl Bound.

Tim Tellean · 05-04-2008, 10:05 AM

My biased opinion is DDSPB because it's A) more then eye candy B) You cann import in your DDSCB classes.

quite abit of mods there ... I haven't played ehm since it was freeware, may have to try this again.

I would suggest Bowl Bound and then join this league

Division I-AA The League

Can't really go wrong with any of the 4 you mentioned though.

I've been thinking about Bowl Bound for a while now. Only thing stopping me is that I can't export the graduating class into an NFL game...Does that bother anyone? It would be nice to follow someone from freshman until the hall of fame.

mh2365 · 05-04-2008, 12:43 PM

Yeah that is disappointing but it's a great game

The pro version is under development.

whizkid1950 · 05-04-2008, 03:44 PM

Looks like it's Bowl Bound or Eastside Hockey coming down to the wire.

The Wolf · 05-04-2008, 10:25 PM

I've played both, and it's Bowl Bound by a length.

Bonedwarf · 05-06-2008, 06:27 AM

Bowl Bound.

EHM I wouldn't touch with a ten foot cattle prod except to kill it. Front Office is a cool, but incomprehensible.

Not played the other one.
