Kelly J Delaney Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Did I read it somewhere that an update will be coming out for BBCF? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btmlltt Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Arlie said there would be an update before the pro game came along, and I [i]think[/i] he said it was coming near September. Not sure on that second part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly J Delaney Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 That's what i thought, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyvol Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I wouldnt think he'd wait that long to update BB if he's going to do it prior to a pro game. He'd miss the start of pro season with the game--unless he's not even thinking of getting the pro game out til NEXT season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Comey Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 If he's thinking that, I'll cry. And Bowl Bound would go on the shelf until then. All of these college leagues, without a pro game to port the classes to...it's really depressing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btmlltt Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 This is entirely my own conjecture, but I highly doubt he's planning on releasing a pro game for this year's pro season. Take a look at a calendar and tell me how that's even remotely likely. Its not that long ago that he released BB, and he's still making updates to it, which take time. Besides, GDS would have already announced it if it was coming out in September. Again, that's just my take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mauboy Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 He's holding out on us. It's going to be released next week, guys! Both! An update for BBCF and the PRO game. /dreaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyDog Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Unless I've missed something incredibly, Arlie has never said a word about releasing a pro game this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyvol Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 No one said he had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Comey Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Right, nobody's ever made that statement. However, it is still making the college game tougher to play, if only because I have all these classes piling up and no output for them. It may be a bit...I don't know, odd...but it's frustrating when I go through, get all these recruting classes and build a dynasty...and then there's no closure for my kids. It's times like these that I really abhor Joe Stallings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyvol Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 agreed. Its Joe's fault TPF can't be bought, at the least. Just glad I still have my copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDawg Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Didnt TPF come out in december? So just because the new game wont hit Sept dont count out this football season :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlie Rahn Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Guys, here's a little more about my plan for this year (and the football season). First, there has been a ton of great feedback on BBCF and about 3-4 months ago I didn't really want to just abandon the game and move on to a pro version. Now, I think BBCF is a very solid first version, but it seemed to me that with a few changes and additions BBCF could really take another step without needing a full version update. So, I made the decision to start designing an update for later this year that would address some lingering issues and add in a few new features. Now, this means that there will not be a pro version this year, but there is work underway on the pro game already. I just won't have the time to finish it this year given the additional time I'm spending on BBCF. Now, I will admit that if I was just making games full time, it probably would not be financially feasible to do this. However, this is one of the advantages of having another fulltime job in that I can decide to expand a product and offer additional updates and features for no additional cash to those who bought the game. So, I am working currently on this update with much of my free time (hence the recent reduction on my posts here) and I think it will add a great deal to the BBCF experience. As I get closer to release, I will start mentioning some of the fixes and new features. I appreciate all the interest you guys have in this series and want to reiterate that a pro version will be coming down the road. However, I want to make sure everyone knows it will not be out this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ggyoun0 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Fantastic news!!! I always love this aspect about buying a game from GDS, and similarly customer-oriented companies. They always think about how they would want to be treated if they were the customer opposed to blindly adhering to bottome lines. Can't wait to hear more about the updates--you know when time permits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miral Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 GG gets yet another makeover, TLC must be jelous. :) I could live with waiting for a pro version as long as there was some sort of mockdraft that came with the game, aka like TCB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Comey Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I would love the ability to port into a CSV, so that, you know, someone could put the players into TPF. That doesn't have to be its primary function, you know. But someone could figure out a workaround. ;) -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Vibert Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Or better yet... a way to import players and have the game automatically generate "skills". Perhaps this could be based off the recruiting data? (Star ranking and the skills) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorceri Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Wow. I am so impressed with they way Arlie and GDS is committed to making sure the games they have available are kept updated and improved. It's far more important for me to have a game that works properly and includes so many updated features as BBCF than for the developers to leave a game hanging in a rush to develop another one (a pro game). I would love to have a pro game to complement BBCF, but I would rather wait until Arlie has maximized the college game's potential before turning his attention to the pro game. Then we benefit from having TWO great games at some point down the road. Thanks Arlie and GDS for your wonderful games, hard work on updates, and top-notch customer support/feedback.

John Comey Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 The question is...just what can he add? Cooley and I have discussed it, and we're hard-pressed to find anything that really needs implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyvol Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Polls need tweaking (he's said that was included) transfers need a look (hope he does this) I also think offense could be tweaked down a bit. I see alot of high scoring games when both teams have good defenses. Other than that, I'm happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GridironGamer Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Second that with the offense. Just too many track meets, even for the college game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markprior22 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Not a new implementation but I play out way too many games where the AI team never calls a timeout at the end of the game, just letting me run out the clock. Kinda takes some of the fun out of a win when you know that such an obvious AI error was made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallifrey Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 When playing the demo my scoreboard never shows anything except empty boxes. The games play, just I have no idea of the quarter etc. Has anyone else seen this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
