I just ran my first league game using the default U.S. league, Chicago (me) vs Milwaukee...first bugs I see are only 1 timeout per team per half given, but the biggy was this...I was ahead 37-17 with 4 minutes to play. Milwaukee scored a TD to make it 37-23 and the PC elected to go for 2 pts....they were successful but hey! they were awarded another 6 pts! So they elected to go for 2 again, which they converted. So all of a sudden its 37-31~~!!![&:]

That one is squashed.  I posted it to the development board some months ago, and David tracked the error.  As I recall, it was a follow-on error to a change in the game.

That is a big one. It should have been squashed too, but it is not an area I have tested recently.

Thank you for posting feedback, and welcome to the board!

Yes it's been fixed 

Is there a download that fixes the timeout issue? Im still only getting 1 TO per half.
Another thing I noticed tonight, I threw an interception and the intercepting team fumbled and recovered the ball. When their offense took the field they started with 3rd down and 44 yards to go LOL.
One thing I really do like is the uniform creator and the ability to create leagues to my own liking.
I used to run a tabletop board game strategy league which lasted for nearly 20 years. During that time we played and I stat'd 999 games by hand and pen. I purchased this game to convert my league to PC. Always been a bit of a football stat freak, so one thing I would really like to see in the stats dept. is the ability to toggle by category instead of just viewing it alphabetically. Be nice to see in order who leads the league in rushing yards, or sacks for example, but from what I have seen so far it only sorts alphabetically.
I still have not been able to figure out how to call timeouts using the mouse either.
I do appreciate the developers efforts with this game, I'm looking forward to updates which address some of these issues.

Oh, I bought the digital download and the physical shipment. I've already had one PC blow-up and go boom on me, so I wanted a little insurance in case it happened again.

You are truly a glutton for punishment.

Patenting situation of FootBall Playing is frustrating. I am not sure if this applies to [qoute]I don't have the specifics for the patent on the nets. The AFL claims they still own the patent[/qoute]; however I still cannot understand why what Madden NFL is doing with their licensing rights on CFB and Professional is not a monopoly, thus illegal.[/font]

Hey GreatWhite,
 
What Dave and I were referring to in this thread was the Patent the AFL has over the brand of Indoor Football they play. Part of the patent is the ReboundNets that Dave had been precluded from using in Maximum Football.
 
In regards to the licensing matter. EA or Matrix or whomever can buy up all the licenses they want, and it isn't an anti-trust violation. It just means that other manufacturers can't make an NFL or NCAA licensed game. It doesn't keep the other manufacturers from making and profiting from the sale of a FOOTBALL game that they might develop, albeit unlicensed.

[font="Courier New"]Brockleigh,

I knew that, making the connection and I was venting a little.

This is not a licensing website or forum, so I will not debate you on it. Except, to refer you to MS VS Governments ant-monoply actions crout case, saddly in this world money always wins. [/font]
