Football Mogul 18

Half hour was all I needed. Lacking depth. Lacking balance. It is the skeleton of what this game could and should be. I actually like thier Baseball Mogul games more than OOTP, but this is a cash grab. I can only hope for an update. I'll be asking for a refund.

I only have about 10 hours maybe a few more off line, so take this with a grain of salt. I have been playing sports sims from about the 1985 years. One of my first was a game called Dugout Decisions made by a company called First Base Software. The company is no longer around. I have been a user of Front Page Sports Football & Baseball, Madden, Front Office Football, and my all time favorite OOTP Baseball. My only football sim I had before my purchase of Football Mogul as of 5 years ago is Front Office Football. I do not have the latest version. I decided to see what Mogul would have compared to Front Office. And from my reading reviews Front Office is just a roster update and rule changes the NFL made anyway. So I gave Mogul a shot and this what I have so far experienced. The good is it can be totally customized to your liking in league set up, you can edit player ratings, make and add players and plenty of options. The game is fast as you can play 5 or 6 years in a 7 to 10 hour tim...

More of the same. While some improvements were made, there are still glaring issues. For example, trading the number 2 overall draft pick will get you, at best, a future 1st round pick. And the ratings for rookies are always too low. Mitch Trubisky, for example, was so low that he was cut the next year and no one picked him up. Which is totally insane! There are other issues like this that make an unrealistic simulation. With a little polish, however, it could great.

I hate to do this, but I have to give this a thumbs down. I've played these games for years and they always have the same issue: the economic simulation is terrible. The game thinks NFL teams have a problem making money, to the point that any truly bad team can't even afford to sign their #1 pick unless they trade a bunch of future picks for cash. And this year's version makes this problem even worse, as every player who resigns now wants a bonus you can't afford to pay, especially if you have a big draft pick to sign. Worse, this is a known problem that has plagued this series for years.

THE best Football manager game there is. Massive amount of customization. Realistic results. Ive played this game for several years and it continues to improve. It is very addicting, I play it quite a bit year round but hardcore during football season. The developers listen to their community and adapt. This new version is awesome. Very polished product!

The devs are honestly horrible. I really don't think any of them know a lick about american football,ratings are terrible stats are terrible and the game is bare bones.

Good old fashioned simple sports sim that gives you that "one more season" itch. It has not come very far in the many years they have been making this game, but it is still a very entertaining game.

Totally glitchy. Players (sometimes almost a fourth of them) randomly disappear from rosters, player ratings randomly change, etc. Tried to install latest patch (15.10), won't even run. Bad software.

Player ratings drop off a cliff for no reason , players disappear from roster , economic system is trash . They should be ashamed that they are still putting out the same garbage over and over .

This is definitely an upgrade over the 2014 edition. However, as another reviewer reported the game deletes players every time you save it. I lost 4 players randomly. Not completely unrealistic, maybe 8% of the players in this league are Antonio Brown level crazy and just disappear. I would prefer not to lose players though.
