Chris

Just found this game - looking forward to learning it and joining an online league

Thanks for making this video. I've just downloaded the 7-day demo and it's quite overwhelming learning a game like this from scratch. 

Very cool show. Hopefully we'll get more of those types of documentaries

OK, I better chip in. 
Try to keep it short even if the story actually goes back to 70s.  Coming from Sweden where really boardgames mostly are like Monopoly and Risk. I didn't get to know sportgames until I was in USA as a Collegestudent in the 70s. Then Strat-o-Matic and later APBA become addictive. Before that time I knew nothing about American Football or Baseball. I played the "real" football until my senior years in college, but even that game can end a career with wrong injuries. The first computer sportgames on C64 was not the way to go with sports. Then getting some early sportgames like Tony LaRussa and some forgotten NFL games on those first PCs helped a bit. But I kept on playing with cardgames on those American sports over the years until Championship Manager finally popped up on the REAL sport.  EA Sport games I always found too much arcade style in those days, still think it. Like EAs NHL,Madden and FIFA versions. You step into the shoes of the player in those games having the ball and try to emulate his moves. Crazy. I'm not Messi, never been, so I prefer Messi to handle his playing himself. I love to manage him.  
So manager games with as close to reality is my game.  OOTP and Football Manager have dominated the years but always looked for some decent games on NFL, NBA and the college versions of them. I had a look at DDS games some years back but they looked too thin. Still they have a long way to go, especially the football version ( a bit to reach FOFs deeper level I think). Latest iteration have focused a lot on how the menues are looking and the interface. The heart of the games needs to come along. OOTP went the other way I think. First the inside then a better and better interface then from pure text to 2D and some sort of 3D. I found this site when I decided to dig in on the DDS games last year.  
Nice to see the searchlight is also on several other interresting games here on GM-Games. That CT looks good and since I always followed The Kentucky Derby I just had to try out Starters Orders. Kind of nice game. Good to run a stable and just hope you get a new Secretariat. But of course I have to mod the racing schedule. Modding games are important in my plays 
Actually anything in managerstyle hits my heart, but beside the college versions I always tend to like playing historical saves and have strong feelings that the part must be present in a game. OOTP in that case is the King no doubt, but hoping to get DDS games on a nice track to get up to par.
Trying hard to update and fix the historical-file in the DDS pro football version, but running in to several doubts and problems to get it right were I like it.
 Well I said it was difficult to keep it short. LOL
 

Championship Manager / Football Manager

Football Manager after playing FIFA for a lot of years, then expanded to play OOTP and a few other games

Jan. 9, 2024: Elon Phoenix (7-6, 2-0) @ Towson Tigers (11-2, 1-1)
Gloria Spann, mother of freshman PG/SG Jon Spann
Elon’s freshman SF Charles Barnes has been one of the brightest new stars in the CAA.  He’s averaging 10.8 ppg and has scored in double figures in 8 of the Phoenix’ 13 games.  He’s been the CAA Freshman Player of the Week 4 times already.  If my son, Jon, were starting and getting as much playing time, people would understand that he really is the best freshman in the CAA.  It’s nearly a 4 hour drive from Buckingham, VA where we live to Towson, so my husband and I can’t get to all of Jon’s home games.
The Tigers shooting sucked early in the game and 3 of their players (C Donny Flint, SF Wayne Burrough, and C Donyell Porter) picked up 2 quick fouls.  In contrast the Phoenix shot well and lept ahead 20-10 after 9 minutes of play.  But Towson rallied and came back in the last 5 minutes of the half to take a 36-34 lead when the buzzer sounded.  Jon scored just 2 points but played well.  SF Wayne Burrough was the Tigers top scorer with 8 points.  Charles Barnes was better than I thought, scoring 15 points for the Phoenix.
Towson held onto a small lead the entire 2nd half but never was able to pull away and create a comfortable lead.  But the Tigers did enough to win by a final score of 80-73. 
Jon scored just 3 points, but also had 3 assists and 2 steals.  PG Shaun White scored 22, SG Dominick Collins put in 15 points plus had 8 rebounds, C Donny Flint had 13 points, 5 assists and 9 rebounds, and SF Wayne Burrough added 10 points.  SF Charles Barnes scored 23 points for Elon.  Hmm...so OK, he's pretty good.
The win moved Towson into a 5-way tie for 2nd place, one game behind 3-0 Hofstra.

Wow, thats nice, good luck

I watched the video last night as I've been interested in this new version... however for me, it will still be a pass. 
After trying their Pro Football and Pro Basketball demo it's the UI/Interface that kills the interest for me. It just runs SO SLOW. Now I have a decent PC. Good CPU/GFX 32gb Ram and NVME SSD but the delay between the screens is hard to bear and if I imagine myself playing out a full season or career I just can't do it. 
Don't get me wrong, full credit to the DDS guys making new versions each year and trying to keep the interface fresh and tidy (it sure looks great) but for now I'll just read the forum and see how it progresses for next year.

Like your videos!

The mods on here will change DDS PF 2021 for me completely. Appreciate it!

Thanks!!!

Thanks for all your work!

I think your work here is commendable, wow 1871 that's really digging in there. I have done some historical replays and find the starting in 1893 when they moved the mound back and where throwing overhand is a good place to start. Just my opinion for what its worth

cool video

look nice

This is great 👍
