I have been playing Football Tycoon for several months. It’s boring.

Strategy wise, what you want to do is immediately get as many fans as possible. Especially fans that give the gifts of cash. You can load up on training and endorsement deals as the game progresses.

Strangely enough, the way to be good at the game is never to play it. Just train, train, and more training. Focus on defense initially, and then balance out the remainder of your team.

When you do play games against others, there really isn’t a payoff. Just a final score, which is often ridiculous. 143 to 94. There isn’t enough time in a regulation football game to score over 200 points. The worst part of it, is when you play a team and the final score is 94 to 94. You telling me these two teams put up 26 touchdowns and 2 field goals and they couldn’t score once in overtime? Finally the defense shows up. Better late than… whatever.

It doesn’t provide any feedback regarding statistics. It would be nice to know that our RB is a weak link to the team, and then you could focus on improving him.

There is very little strategy in improving your players. You can’t direct your starting RB to get 90% of the carries, or to focus on 2 WR sets. If you could, then you would focus on improving your 1st string RB and top WR’s, but no.

After a point, there not much more to achieve (simply endorsement deals). It’s not the worst game in the world, but it certainly has limited range for strategy and worst of all, has no basis in reality.

[...] an Ohio-based games developer called Blue Frog Gaming released a simple football-based RPG dubbed Football Tycoon. Frankly, it was a decent game, but in the past seven and a half months since then, they’ve been [...]

Well, these are interesting thoughts. I think they are true. However, everything is
relative and ambiguous to my mind.

You do not need to use your own cash , you can actually purchase more stamina and energy through in-game purchase with in-game money Mike . I would think the CEO of BlueFrog knows what he is talking about .

You don’t actually buy them Matthew with cash from the game but you need to use your own “cash” as in your credit card. It does take too long to go from level to level. This game could be cooler with a few minor changes.

Thanks for the writeup. One minor correction, you can increase your energy and stamina. You buy them as you go along from the office page with all of the cash you earn from playing games. We chose that route since it seemed simpler than leveling up.
