GMs draft and trade players, negotiate contracts, set ticket prices and watch as the game simulates the on-field action. If you're a GM who wants more than just the front office, Front Office Football allows you to develop your team's offensive and defensive strategies and call plays on the fly during games. The game concentrates on roster management and career play. There are several key elements emphasized in the game design: -A realistic trading module. You can't simply take the players you want from other teams. -Proper aging of players. Players at different positions age differently. Quarterbacks need a couple of more years to reach their prime, but their careers last several years longer, on average, than running backs. -The amateur draft. Teams realistically assess their needs, and build through the draft. -Statistics, statistics, statistics. All the major stats are tracked, and available at any given time. Career and full season-by-season statistics are tracked in more than 40 categories. You can view and sort them by team, category and position. It's fast and accurate. -Play calling. If you like, you can be the ultimate GM and wrest control of the play-by-play action from your coach. -Free agency. Teams compete with you to sign the best free agents. Each player has his own idea of how much he wants to stay with his existing team, and how much he wants to play for a champion. But money can still bend the strongest of wills. -Depth charts. You set the depth chart at each position for your team, and fill out a play preference chart. Front Office Football simulates games based on these charts. -Player ratings. Each player is rated for 36 different skills. But you don't have access to the raw numbers. Where's the fun in that? You hire a scouting staff, with varied strengths and weaknesses. Your scouts tell you how good they think your players are - and how good they think your opponents' players are. -The salary cap. It's an essential tool in keeping parity among professional football rosters. You'll have to cut your aging, high-paid veterans just like any ruthless general manager worth his weight in negotiations. -City profiles. Submit a plan to build a new stadium to your voters. If they turn you down, you can propose a move to any of 169 cities modeled in the game. Each city is rated for several economic criteria, which affects its desire for a new team. -Power ratings. You can see how your team ranks using Solecismic Software's System 305. These ratings are used to set a point spread for each game. -Enhanced replay value. Every time you start a new game, the core ratings for each player are randomly affected. For veterans, the random change will be very small. Established stars will always be significant players. For rookies, however, performance will vary significantly. This allows for a more challenging game and greater replay value.
