Anyone wanting to try Fb Pro 98 again go to this site, they have made new plays that seem to work good.

That's a great site with some nice playbooks. Ive been somewhat disappointed with Maximum football since the last patch so I'm willing to move back. I once had fbpro 97 and enjoyed it for a while until moving on to madden. The Fbpro community has been around for 10 years so you have playbooks and utilities that are well tested.

Its a shame that Vivendi, who owns the source code for the series, will not allow any programmers to update it.

I don't think even the original Front Page Sports Football programmers could figure out the souce code anymore.

Second and Ten maybe expensive however, minor and major updates have been free to this point. Well worth the money in my opinion. 

I tried the demo of SAT and while I like the gameplay (and the fact that it has free rosters back till the 1940s), but it seems that it's mostly a match simulator, and offers very little in terms of "dynasty building" or General Manager mode.

While next to every baseball game lets you play from the early 1900s through to the modern day in dynasty mode it seems near impossible to find something similar for football (i.e. start in the 60s or 70s and play through till today with franchise changes, historical rookies/drafts etc.).

By chance, did anyone make rosters for Fb Pro 99?

50 bucks is way too much for a text sim atleast for me

I tried getting into text sims but it's hard even one with a ton of options you still have that empty feeling because you can't really see the action unfold before your eyes as it happens.

I agree.
 
There are things that text sims do well that I would have hoped that other PC games would do like front office management, keeping detailed statistics, and having easy output of those statistics, but not having the game on screen just isn't the same as seeing the game on field for that sense of suspended disbelief.
