Hardly a new game. It's been in development for an eternity (something like
4-5 years). PC Gamer covered it late last year when the developer gave a
"Jan. '04" release date (one of a multitude that he has missed). I had high
hopes for this game, but when it was revealed that it would not offer a
franchise mode of any sort and the developer confirmed that on-line play of
any kind would be next to impossible, I kind of wrote it off. If I pick it
up at all it will as a curiousity. Without even those basic features I
mentioned, this has no chance of filling the FBPro niche. Plus, to be
honest, the screenshots look like they came from later editions of FBPro,
that's how dated they look.
