Something like Football manager but for grid iron Only really Madden. You can start a franchise up as an owner and do everything from set prices for concessions to draft the players. Can always simulate the games if you don't want to play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakotaDakota Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) 5 hours ago, PussEKatt said: Anyone know if there is a decent NFL manager game ? Something like Football manager but for grid iron Front office football is probably the best option or possibly Football Mogul. Neither are particularly pretty and have licensing issues but both are playable enough if you don't mind the outdated looks If it's college football you're interested in then Bowl Bound is probably better than both of those and there are loads of mods for real rosters & graphics etc around All are pretty in depth though and lots & lots of text so you need to know a fair bit about the game i guess. there is a vid below showing some of Front Office Football & Bowl Bound Edited September 5, 2018 by LakotaDakota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 the latest one came out last week i've never done it so im not 100% sure how it works, i know you can design your own playbooks etc and as dante says you can do the front office stuff too like the contracts, scouting (which isnt that great) and draft i know you can them sim the games, sim the series or sim the play, i dont know if you can watch each play if you arent playing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I played in a national, work based, gaming tournament today. The games were Fifa 18 (xbone), guitar hero (recent version with six buttons on the guitar?), Wii bowling, Mario kart (Wii), trackmania turbo (xbone), street fighter (ps4), and rocket league (ps4). It was a more or less whole day thing, man is it tiring playing games all day! I finished 12th of 48, with my region finishing 4th or 24. I finished 3rd in rocket league, having lost to the eventual winner in the semi 4-6. Really good fun! I surprised myself with street fighter (or was that just button bashing luck?), did well on trackmania having never played it, finished near the bottom in fifa, and was awful at Mario kart! Next year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzavfc Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Currently on No Mans Sky after the massive NEXT update Such a great little stress free, time waster.

Risso Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Shadow of the Tomb Raider on the PS4. It's not quite as good as the last one, which was brilliant, but still very good indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Dead Cells on Nintendo Switch (it's also out on PC, PS4 & XBone) and it first impressions are that it's all kinds of lovely. Its 2D Metroidvania style game with a heavy focus on combat and a 16 bit art style. Seems quite hard, but one of those run based games which you can play in 15-20 minute chunks if you need to.

NoCoder Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Playing NBA2K19 - I prefer it to 2K18, as it's smoother to navigate through MyCareer mode and you can skip the unnecessary dialogue if you wish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I'm about 3-4 hours in to Hollow Knight.. I love it, but I hate it. I've never managed to finish a Souls game, and I can't see me containing my rage well enough to finish this either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I’m still ploughing through Andromeda. Can’t grumble for under a tenner. The more I’ve played the more I’ve got into it. Pain in the arse completing everything on each huge planet map, but I can’t leave them open. Completionist in me. some great characters, game play is pretty good, reckon I’m about 70% through and I’ve sunk about 60hours in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunRickyRun Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Hooked on Dirt Rally VR. It's an incredibly difficult but rewarding sim and in VR it's incredible. I've managed to beat the master difficulty but only in the 1960s cars. Here's me in Colin McRae's Impreza trying not to crash and die in Finland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted October 14, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 14, 2018 A.C. Odyssey. If not for RDR 2 coming out in a few weeks i would say this would be nailed on for my GOTY. Absolutely amazing stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 The BO4 zombies mode. Wasn't going to buy the game but my gf brought it for me. I'm officially rubbish at blackout mode and multiplayeris so much better without all the jumping around bollocks from previous titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daweii Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Path of Exile currently as the new expansion and league launched over the weekend. I am consistently amazed how much the dev team gets done with each expansion given they have 13-14 weeks to develop each one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 After PC Gamer nominated it as their GOTY, I've gone back to Into the Breach, after not playing it for about 10 months. You know what, it's absolutely brilliant. It's a completely different game, almost beyond comparison, but it scratches that Rocket League itch for me. Only in the sense that I can pick it up for 10-20 minutes at a time and have a good session in it. It's incredibly simple, probably less than 15 actions in the whole game, but it's almost chess like. I'll lose interest again in a few weeks, but I can see it being one that I come back to regularly for years. It's simple to play, yet impossible to master. And I love that I very rarely feel RNG has dicked me over, if I lose it's almost always because I just played badly. On the other hand, I picked up MGS V in last month's humble bundle, and my god, what a piece of shit. I'm going to stick with it due to the incredible reviews, but the first couple of hours are incredibly dull. I can't think of any game I've enjoyed with a worse start. It's been about 1:30 of cutscenes and 30 minutes of tutorial, most of it at walking/crawling pace. It'd better pick up pretty damn quickly.

Chindie Posted January 1, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 1, 2019 The intro to MGSV is absolutely nothing like the rest of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
