JHopkins19 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Sorry if this has been answered in other threads, but I haven't been able to find it. As the College Basketball is coming out in Q4 and I've read the demo should be coming soon... I was wondering if there was an approximate release date for Bowl Bound? I'm just assuming since the demo is already out it will probably be released before college basketball? Thanks for your help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappy Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 It has been said in the past few weeks that Arlie woukd not speculate on a release date. Since the demo is out, and most of the bugs seem to be minor, I'd guess it will be out some time in the next few weeks. But I'm no insider.

hitmanwa Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I hope so, I'm already addicted. Great game! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoWar Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I thought it was stated once approx a week after demo -- depending on bugs ... My guess (and only a guess) is this weekend or next .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Weimer Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I don't mind if it takes a few weeks to get released. Gives me more time to save money to purchase the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remianen Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I sincerely hope they release it before Christmas. Actually, before the 23rd (my Christmas party happens then). I like to give gifts that folks will keep using for months and months after. Usually, it's easier to get sports fans interested in these kinds of games (who wouldn't want to be the one running their favorite team(s)??). I've given The College Years, Baseball/Football Mogul, Out of the Park Baseball, and Front Office Football over the years. I'd LOVE to drop a package of GDS games on folks this year. One of my friends STILL plays TCY with his wife (and she usually kicks his arse) and I gave that to him years ago (when that game first came out).

MirageAg99 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 As a guy who will never use MP, I really want to play more than one season to try to grow a smaller program (like Mount Union that I added) or get hired by a bigger school. This game looses steam fast if I cannot grow a program from almost scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uktaurusbulba Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 agree The game itself is cool but its the whole management process that is appealing. Building a program and trying to generate that winning tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BYU 14 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 And to that end I see this game being a real challenge which is great. I still play TCY (Love the game) but IMO it was way too easy to build a perrenial top 10 program in 5 years or less. From initial appearances it looks like BBCF will really challenge you in that area. Even when you do break into that elite air, it will be hard to maintain that status year after year. The recruiting here just looks to be so much deeper.....Quite honestly that is already my favorite part of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uktaurusbulba Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 agree Too many games are too easy to dominate. I know that people can be frustrated but I lthink people playing sim games prefer realism. I think this game will be a challenge and keep you interested.

Steve Kuffrey Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Cannot stand the recruiting in TCY that is one reason why this one looks good to me I can allocate recruiting in XYZ areas/positions and leave it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Kuffrey Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Yeah well, don't know about that. Many folks LOVE TCY but I can only take it for a season or two since I can't stand the recruiting and auto recruiting always seems to put me in the toilet in no time.

Jeremy Weimer Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I doubt they'll make any form of announcement on a release date. It'll probably be announced as being released and that'll be that. Planning ahead of time and announcing a future release date usually ends up working against game companies. Then they're forced to have the final product ready by then which can lead to problems if they can't get certain stuff working right or whatever. It limits them in what they can fix or add or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoWar Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Real life Bowl Selection is Sunday December 4th .... goodluck to all the 6 win teams. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Boiler Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 By the way, has anyone considered what a genius Arlie is to hold BBCB until the bowl season? Now all of us who've been disappointed this year have the chance to show how it should have been . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
