I would like to check the interest level in Strat Football. I would love to play both Baseball and football again???

I don't know how to do Strat Football well online. In my experience, Strat Football is more of an in game strategy Sport than a draft sport, and drafting is the strength of the TSN game. Also in baseball the position are relatively equal in impact, as where in Strat Football, a good quarterback is worth about 20X more than a good receiver.

If TSN could come up with a good game system that equalized player value in a draft (Including team defense) and allowed a lot of control over game play (I'm thinking I'd like a pretty detailed percentage play call setting for different downs and yards to go that I could change for each opponent. ) Then I'd be into it, but that seems so complex it is almost undoable.

I would love to see strat football make a return. It would have to have playoffs. That is probably the major reason for the lost interest. It was a good game because you could actually outcoach a better team. As far as a QB being worth more, in the old football game, I could take a guy like Charlie Batch and get 400+ yards passing out of him with good receivers and a good pass block O-line. There were many ways to win in the old strat football game.

I would totally play SOM Football on line.Except the games would HAVE to be played in real time!

i would definitely play if it were made available. as much as a playoff feature would add enjoyment, i would play anyway it was presented

i think starting with 2007 and perhaps a mid 80s recreation, Say the 1986 version with Taylor blitzing in every play!!!!!
