I voted football, although I would say it would be hard to surpass FOF, IMO. I am a big FOF guy though so take tat for what you will. FPS Football was great, what got me into these games I guess.
 
I think a college football game would be good. FOF:TCY is a good game, but could be challenged. The second version of it will be nice to see, although I think a new FOF is coming first. Greydog's football games haven't been so hot, so learn what not to do there if you look at doing a football game. I already like your style though, you don't focus too much on interface and extras at the expense of the core of the game, so I don't think you would do that, IMO.

I voted football but I guess you mean American Football?

If so I vote motor racing;)

Well since basketball is out of the question I'm not sure if I would play any out of your list. I don't understand what you could put in a fishing or horse racing game to make it a game...

I guess auto racing out of your list would be my choice

I would like to see a Puresim College Baseball Sim. That would be sweet!!!

Am I the only one anxiously waiting for a HOCKEY sim?  The only other one out there, Eastside Hockey (SI Games), suffers from the same problem as the new OOTP - a little too Euro-oriented for my taste.  I'd like to see a very North American-oriented hockey sim, a little richer on the in-game experience than Eastside.  Actually, a hockey game with the same blend between general management and on-field (ice) play as Puresim would suit me perfectly!
 
And Shaun...I share the same lack of interest as you relate to basketball.  For me, it's because I can't sink a basket to save my life -- never could, never will.  Growing up, I enjoyed playing any sport in my neighborhood...except when someone would bring out the big round ball, then I'd figure out an excuse to go home.  Weird, but true!

Definitely football...

There are some great sims out there for one season but if someone needs to take the next step and do multiple seasons and careers.

we need a game that recaptures the sheer enjoyment of FOF2. that series is still good, but it needs something to challenge it, to get it to really pull the stops out.

Just my 2 cents- you can simulate the management aspect of football quite well in Action! if you join a league that has draft teams- some leagues have as many as 28-30 teams, all with human GMs you have to compete against. I'm a big racing fan and would love to see something done with Nascar or Indy-cars. All the racing games out there are arcade ones and if you don't drop $50-$100 on a good steering wheel, you're wasting your time.
 
I started work on a board game for racing some time ago, maybe I need to get back on that (yeah, right-
if you check out my homepage, you'll see I have too much stuff going on already *grin*)

How would you do an auto racing text sim?  I am making the assumption this is a text sim question, though.

The play by play would be something like this:

Gordon is racing around the track to his left, wheel tured slightly inward
Gordon is still going to the left
Gordon is still going to the left
Gordon is still going to the left
Gordon is still going to the left
Gordon is still going to the left
Only 294 more laps to go
Gordon is still going to the left
Gordon is still going to the left
Gordon is still going to the left
Gordon is still going to the left
Gordon is still going to the left

Football with an emphasis on college football!

No kidding. I was crazy about that game! I must have spent 100 hours reverse-engineering the encryption to do my FPS utilities

They should sell that source code and take a royalty. I am convinced there are 50,000+ folks who would buy a solid, updated FPS:Football on the spot.

The second it was released.
