I purchased this based on the greatness of Baseball Mogul. I thought if it was half as engrosing it could be a good game. I would say that it is just a disappointment. There is not enough player detail. Maybe the future Football Moguls will be better.

Not bad but could be better..........

I recently purchased Football Mogul (about a week ago), and have played it off and on. I was hoping for something that resembles the baseball games by the same company. To some extent, I got what I asked for. Somehow though, I have walked away feeling a little cheated. Granted, more time with this game might change my mind, hence the 3 stars instead of 1 or 2. One problem I have with Football Mogul 2008 is the apparent inability to change the rosters in the .csv file. Yes, the game comes with an in-game editor, but it is rather clunky and all you can really do is edit the player's potential based upon what they are projected to do in the current season. Not very helpful. In Baseball Mogul, I could go into the .csv file and change nearly anything I desired with any player that was in the database. I have been unable to locate the place to do this with Football Mogul. Although I went into the .csv file and changed information, the changes did not show up in the game like I had hoped. Another gripe with this game is the lack of updated rosters and ratings. For example, Ricky Williams is, in fact, with the Dolphins in this game (bravo!), but his rating is usually around a 90-96! C'mon, this guy has not even played pro football in almost 3 years, so how can he be one of the best running backs in the game at this point? Also, Trent Green has a high rating as well, which for those of us whom follow the Dolphins and their pathetic season, know that Green is not only horrid and should retire, he is also on the IR for the year. One other mention in this regard is that the Dolphins traded away Chris Chambers many weeks ago, yet he is still on their roster in this game. Considering it was just released about a week ago, one would think that they could have done one final roster check and update before release, eh?

On the positive side, the interface is really pretty easy to use. Things are simple to locate as well, so if you are looking for the team's finances you can just go to the top of the screen and click 'finances' and voila, there they are with a multitude of options at your fingertips.

This game is not too bad, it could have used a little more beefing up in the graphical areas even though it is a text based game. Also, the rosters should have been updated before release, and those of us whom enjoy customizing our players should be given more of an option, whether that is in-game or via utilization of the .csv file. I may add more to this at a later date after more playing time.

Overall = Decent

This is a really, really BAD game.

If someone gave you this game for free it would still be overpriced. Burning your money in a fireplace would be a better use of it.

This game is terrible. You get like 24 plays total to call on offense and defense. The line buck is the best choice for offense, in a season simulation it averaged 31.2 yards per attempt.
