Oh and I hate Basketball, so I couldn't get inspired enough to write that one, hence the reason it is missing from the poll :)

Oh wait. Lacrosse and curling are for the MaxFB forum.

Status: offline 		Pro or college football was my choice, BUT, many many years ago, a buddy of mine had a cool horse racing board game (was it an Avalon Hill game? I don't remember) that we had some fun with. It wasn't about breeding a winner, per se, it was more concerned with betting and handicapping, but you somehow controlled the horses you bet on.

That being said -- I'd be interested in a horse racing sim, also. "Triple-Crown Horse Racing" or something like that. The more I think about it, the more interesting it becomes. Hmm...

A chart would tell you how many clicks your horse went based on his ratings...... was fun but not a whole lot of options...... I truly loved the old AH games....

Yes, that 's it. It kept a couple of pre-teen boys interested way back when. Thanks for reminding me.

As for my own personal interest, believe it or not a fresh water fishing sim, where you could create your own lakes, free fish, participate in online tournaments etc, would be sort of fun. I was fishing crazy as a kid -- I'd ride my bike to local lakes and spend all morning every day in the Summer fishing.

Football would be my second choice and it seems like it would be the best move commercially. I'd love to do a full play designer (like FPS:Football) and at least have an animated X's and O's rendering of the play.

All that said, I'm dreaming unless I find a way to do this full time. Oh well I had the dream with PureSim too and that only took 4 years to become reality

If you did I think you could finally quit your real job & be a full time sport sim programmer!

If you did that, made some strides with it, you would be set.  That game was fantastic at the time and probably has the most potential out of everything except Front Office Football.

They should sell that source code and take a royalty. I am convinced there are 50,000+ folks who would buy a solid, updated FPS:Football on the spot.

My only question is, would Matrix be concerned about offering competing football sims???

Status: offline 		I voted football, although I would say it would be hard to surpass FOF, IMO. I am a big FOF guy though so take tat for what you will. FPS Football was great, what got me into these games I guess.

I think a college football game would be good. FOF:TCY is a good game, but could be challenged. The second version of it will be nice to see, although I think a new FOF is coming first. Greydog's football games haven't been so hot, so learn what not to do there if you look at doing a football game. I already like your style though, you don't focus too much on interface and extras at the expense of the core of the game, so I don't think you would do that, IMO.

I guess auto racing out of your list would be my choice

I would like to see a Puresim College Baseball Sim. That would be sweet!!!

Status: offline 		Am I the only one anxiously waiting for a HOCKEY sim?  The only other one out there, Eastside Hockey (SI Games), suffers from the same problem as the new OOTP - a little too Euro-oriented for my taste.  I'd like to see a very North American-oriented hockey sim, a little richer on the in-game experience than Eastside.  Actually, a hockey game with the same blend between general management and on-field (ice) play as Puresim would suit me perfectly!

And Shaun...I share the same lack of interest as you relate to basketball.  For me, it's because I can't sink a basket to save my life -- never could, never will.  Growing up, I enjoyed playing any sport in my neighborhood...except when someone would bring out the big round ball, then I'd figure out an excuse to go home.  Weird, but true!

There are some great sims out there for one season but if someone needs to take the next step and do multiple seasons and careers.

Status: offline 		Just my 2 cents- you can simulate the management aspect of football quite well in Action! if you join a league that has draft teams- some leagues have as many as 28-30 teams, all with human GMs you have to compete against. I'm a big racing fan and would love to see something done with Nascar or Indy-cars. All the racing games out there are arcade ones and if you don't drop $50-$100 on a good steering wheel, you're wasting your time.

I started work on a board game for racing some time ago, maybe I need to get back on that (yeah, right-
if you check out my homepage, you'll see I have too much stuff going on already *grin*)

The play by play would be something like this:

Gordon is racing around the track to his left, wheel tured slightly inward
Gordon is still going to the left
Gordon is still going to the left
Gordon is still going to the left
Gordon is still going to the left
Gordon is still going to the left
Only 294 more laps to go
Gordon is still going to the left
Gordon is still going to the left
Gordon is still going to the left
Gordon is still going to the left
Gordon is still going to the left
