[Grim.Reaper]

Looks like they are updating their facebook pages with nuggets of info....first up is some info on game plans....hopefully they release some new info each day so you may want to check back.

The Gameplan and the playbook are certainly your best weapons towards win in Front Page Sports Football!

The gameplan will allow you to fix your main tactical choices for next game. A gameplan is kept from game to game, but can be changed whenever you want.
You will also have to choose the offensive and defensive plays which your team applies during its games. And you'll be able to tweak it even during the matches, in reply to your oponent play!

To be a good coach, you'll have to find the strategy that is in perfect harmony with the capabilities of your selected players.
More infos coming soon with the official website!

That doesn't sound too bad.  The ridiculous percentage tables for setting up play-calling, in Front Office Football, is just jarringly non-immersive.  Hopefully this comes across better.

I think I'd like it better if you, as GM, hire the Head Coach and O and D Coordinators and THEY create your weekly game plan.

Sure, but that was never the focus of the Front Page Sports Football games. The GM stuff was very light, while the game really pushed play calling and game management and play design.

Latest update on their facebook page.....

https://www.facebook.com/FrontPageFootball

In Front Page Sports Football, you will be able to create your own gameplan with a detailed tool ingame, but you can also use premade strategies.

Let's start with 'Power Football', an offensive tactic:
It is built on powerfull running and requires several strong and fast halfbacks. The passing game is secondary and mainly uses the tight ends. Discover on the picture some of the plays you'll find in the 'Power Football' playbook!

Stay tuned for more gameplans and plays every weeks on this facebook page!

The developers responded to a post on Facebook indicating the game will be released by the end of September.....specific date still forthcoming.

Wonder what the price will be.  I get the impression it's not as deep as something like FOF7, so perhaps it won't be terribly expensive.

No idea, but my guess is $19.99.....I think they will likely go after quantity versus quality:)

Release date confirmed for September 25th....bunch of new screenshots.  Still highly skeptical of this game but will still be a day one purchase unless the price is crazy:)

Wow. Last time I played FPSF it was, what, 1994? Good to know this is on the way.

[Nefaro]

I'm more intrigued than before after seeing those screenshots.

The non-native English is shining through in some areas and the web page, however.   I still wonder how polished this will be.

Also hoping someone mods the official teams and players in before long.

[Grim.Reaper]

And they announced the price will be $19.99 just as I kind of suspected....based on that, pretty much confirms a day one purchase, $19 worth the risk that it actually might be playable and something different:)

Yeah, my hopes are really too high now for this. We've been without a good PC football game for a while now. I hope you can mod it easily. Did we ever figure out if this is brand new or an overhaul of the original engine?

It's new as far as we've been informed.  They'd been (slowly) working on it for years, although it was originally meant to be an online web browser game or some such.
