    Chris reacted to DakotaDog61 in Front Page Sports: Football Pro 98 Questions   
    Hey all. Firstly, let me say a massive thank you for making the Front Page Sports experience available after all these years.
    I cut my teeth on that game back in the day. My question is this:
    I played the game for a solid 6-7 hours yesterday, with multiple shut offs, due to wife, eating, etc.
    Now today, going to play the game, I get the "no cd" message. I t worked yesterday. Really baffled. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
    Edit: I decided to wipe and do a fresh install. Now, when I mount the ISO, it tells me that the drive is not valid> WTF?!? It installed fine yesterday. Had no windows updates since then, so I'm really confused now. Ah well, it was great to spend one day back in the glory of Football Sims.

    Baseball Simulator 1.000 on my NES was probably my start too! I would grab a notebook and write down the stats after each month so that I could read them when I wasn't on my console...

    I'm playing EA Madden for a few years now. Actually playing 😉
    2 years ago i joined a GM-League in Madden. They're doing all the normal things in Madden, just not playing the games. What we love there is to slow sim our games (Broadcast) and watch them on Twitch. The admins do a lot of things extra for the league because ther's not really much to do compared to a real GM Game. so i'm very excited to take my first steps into real Football GM Games. Hopefully i enjoy it. And maybe i found one that could work for our Madden GM League. A bit more depth in GM work would be nice

    The Franchise Hockey Manager series returns for the 2021-22 season with plenty of new additions.
    OOTP Developments and Com2uS has packed many new features and improvements into it. Driven by community feedback. FHM 8 is their strongest entry yet in our longstanding NHLÂź-licensed PC hockey strategy series.
    [This press release is made courtesy of OOTP Developments]
    Choose one of dozens of leagues around the world and select a team to guide to glory, including a chance at the ultimate prize: FHM 8 is licensed by the NHLÂź, allowing you to take the reins of your favorite franchise to capture the Stanley CupÂź.
    Take control of a national team and try for international supremacy. Choose a historical game, where you can begin in any year in NHL¼ history right back to the beginning in 1917. Or if you’d like to create your own customized league, you can do that as well!
    .
    Release the Kraken!

    Draft your own version of the expansion Seattle Kraken or enter the league with their real lineup.
    Take control based on in-game events

    Alter players’ styles and tactics in response to game events.
    All new for Franchise Hockey Manager 8:
    NEW FINANCIAL SYSTEM!: Build your Legacy with the new financial system, allowing you much more control over your budget and operations. NEW ON-ICE DECISIONS!: You directly influence your players’ choices on the ice! UP-TO-DATE 2021-2022 NHL¼ ROSTERS: The fans are back in the stands, and we have fully-updated rosters, teams, leagues, and stats for the 2021-2022 NHL¼ season! A LIVING, BREATHING HOCKEY WORLD!: New rumours, news stories, and new stats reveal your hockey world. IMPROVED 2D GAME MODE!: The 2D game system has undergone many changes to improve player behaviour, animation, and statistical output, and received some new graphics and aminations too! REALISTIC HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: Junior, College, and European leagues in historical games have been significantly fleshed out, so young players will no longer just be free agents before they’re signed or drafted, and the Sponsorship/Affiliate system that was used by the NHL up until the 1960’s is now simulated as well. BUILD YOUTH SYSTEMS: European teams will now be able to take steps to improve the quality of the young players entering their youth systems. ADJUSTABLE TRADE DIFFICULTY: Trading difficulty can now be adjusted, allowing for easier or more difficult trade negotiations – or nearly impossible ones! MORE POSTGAME FEEDBACK! A new postgame analysis screen points out the good, the bad, and the ugly of both teams’ performances. WATCH HIGHLIGHTS: 2D Mode now has a “highlights” option that’ll allow you to view only the game’s key moments, or just the goals. NEW CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS: Custom games can now add tournaments that allow the participation of teams from multiple leagues, and can add new leagues after the game has started. YOUR OWN NOTEPAD: Players now have a user-editable “Notes” view that can be used to record your own notes, reminders, etc. regarding them. HOCKEY CARDS! We’ve added a new “hockey card” style for displaying player portraits on some screens. FHM 8 is big, bold, and packed with improvements – continuing to build on the foundation of our long-running hockey strategy series.

    I posted this in the "Introduce Yourself" thread, but then I saw this thread, so I'll post this here as well! 
     
    Since  I'm new here, I suppose I should introduce how I got into management games. I've  always been into the management side of sports. Even in the 90s, when one season was the best you could hope for in many games, I played that season just to see how far I could get. Sadly, I often left seasons incomplete, because I'd honestly get bored playing game after game, and feeling like I wasn't going anywhere. Baseball games in this time were torturous. 162 games?? I didn't even want to do 16 in an NFL game, let alone 10 times as many. As time went on, and games got better, and added depth, my interest grew. 2K games were a Godsend for me. The ability to either live a "by the books" style league, or change a few settings, and viola, I could have Sidney Crosby AND Alex Ovechkin on the same line!
    My first real experience with a management sim was Eastside Hockey Manager. It was literally one I stumbled upon, and I absolutely lived for that game. The depth, the ways you could tinker with the settings, the limitless possibilities, and the fact that I had 12 First Round picks in one of my games, set the bar for management sims, at least as far as hockey goes, for YEARS. It honestly wasn't until FHM 5 or 6 that I felt I had found an equal to the immense pleasure I had playing EHM a decade ago.
    I do dabble in other sports, though hockey is my true love, but I do play OOTP22 on occasion, I also have DDS: College Basketball, and I'm trying to get into CT Football Manager. Overall, I'm glad to be here, and I've enjoyed this site for some time, and have gotten some really good recommendations from it, and look forward to the future of sports management games!

    He will definitely strengthen the Panthers secondary but I think throughout the last couple weeks especially with CMC gone again, the panthers don't have a shot at the playoffs just plainly because they are not very good. Sam Darnold went off the first couple weeks but he is back to the same old him. Sorry to Panthers fans but even with getting Stephon Gilmore, the team needs a lot more to have a chance at making playoffs anytime soon.
