Bulletproof Punk Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Is BB Pro Football ever coming out? I was stunned to come back to the GDS website and still see no pro game available and no updates in this thread. I would really love to see this game come to life so my college players can play pro in the binary universe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidolab Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Unfortunately, it'll never happen. Neither will an update to BBCF. Such a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dstockydale Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 This whole situation - along with a very similar situation at Wolverine Studios - reminds me of the Mum in Arrested Development when she finds out that her children mock her for "getting off" on being witholding. She offers a chocolate bar to her son only to immediately pull it away with the words "I'm witholding it - look at me getting off"... As an aside (the relevence is a bit tenouous but)... I'm a guitar maker in my spare time. I work full time as an IT support analyst and care for my elderly grand parents most evenings. Because of my other commitments I often get massively delayed with the guitar making. So, when I get an order I explain to the customer that I cannot give a completion date and will take no money up front, but that I will keep them updated with photo's etc. The last one took me 8 months to complete! My customer was very patient and appreciated the updates etc. When making my custom guitars, the customer is involved from the outset in order to get feedback on specs etc. much like how developers get the community involved in order to "tailor" the product to the customers needs. Liaising with the customer to obtain their requirements - getting those requirements from the customer and then going AWOL would be a death sentence for most companies. My point is, if we do these things as a hobby - and tell people that we have other comitments and that those comitments take precedent, why then sell the product to make a profit? If we're doing this as a business to make a profit then do it right! I made a loss on the 8 month guitar - knocked £100 off thus making a £100 loss (I sell them at cost - my time is free - I enjoy what I do and realise it is not my highest priority). Although I had made my position clear from the outset, and the final product I supplied was of high quality and well received, I still felt that I entered into an agreement with my customer as soon as I accepted the order and began communicating with the customer in order to tailor the product. Do the guys at Grey Dog not feel the same? The quality of the final product is obviously of paramount importance and I possibly speak for most people here when I say that I would rather wait for the best possible product than receive something substandard. But the "product" also includes the service that is provided from the offset, through to purchase and beyond. Providing great service and a great product are not mutualy exclusive. I believe it shows a real lack of respect to all the people who are awaiting this game. I will not be purchasing any more products, but do appreciate the emotional highs and lows. Sorry for the long a meandering post - I just started hitting the keys and ended up in a Jessica Fletcher style typing montage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galleyfan Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Well said! I have also been waiting for this game since 2007 & have decided to move on & not to bother checking back anymore since Arlie doesn't seem to think it is too important to keep anyone updated on the status of the game. There are other games out there & it's time to go out and support someone else who really deserves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonin Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Any news? With the arrival of the new NFL season, one naturally thinks about how nice it would be to have a new pro football management sim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonin Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I love the graphics in BBCF and would love for an NFL game to have a similar look. A tiny little patch for BBCF that would enable us to export graduating BBCF classes to BBPF would be great! I'm looking forward to taking my Cleveland Browns all the way!

FBPro-Fan Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Is this game dead? 01-20-2007 was the first post here announcing development of this game. So five years later has anything been completed? If the game is indeed cancelled, please let us know. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonin Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 As the new football season begins, I have to say I really really wish there was a new text-based football management sim to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbryant Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I was a huge fan of TPF and would love to see something similar but with some added depth and stats with a strong AI for the single player mode. Was very happy to find Arlie's post that the game is in work and although it is still some time off it will fill a void that many of us non-console players have.

iruleall15 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 So how many years without a single words? The most unprofessional developer ive seen. Purely pathetic that there has been nothing mentioned of a cancellation or a heavy delay... 6 years since a response on this game... Really?

Are you really that much of an a*s to come to this forum and post that? Unprofessional? Look in the mirror. One would assume the game is in limbo if nothing has been posted, or cancelled for that matter. GDS owes you nothing! Really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhawk8492 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I would buy this game if it ever does come out, a shame its been in developmental hell for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly you have never worked a day in your life or else you would know what CUSTOMER SERVICE is. GDS owes its customers everything. With customers there is no GDS. So yes... GDS owes me a reason.
