Has anyone out there >found a football game that is superior to this one? Before I purchased Grid Iron, I found a friend who owned both 4th and Inches and TV Sports Football. Neither worked satisfactorily under 2.0 on the 3000. TV Sports Football seemed much too graphics oriented for what I'm looking for in a football simulation. I don't want a video game, I want to learn about football and to try things out without requiring too much wrist action. TV Sports Football did have a really good manual. Grid Iron just seems more realistic to me, even though the graphics are very simple (maybe because they are just circles it is somehow more realistic?) and it can't do somethings (man in motion, player substitutions). What I really want is a simulation where I don't play any position but coach. Where I can see the play happen, but I only call it. Where as much reality as possible were involved with the game so that real NFL coaches might start using it to simulate new techniques against teams they have to play. To those who have pro-football simulator: Is it 3000/2.0 compatible? If it is, I'll probably have to try it. It'd also be a plus if it were hd installable (someone said that grid iron is, but I usually have no problems and gi hasn't worked on hd for me -- maybe I bought an old version). -- -Dale Larson (dlarson@blake.u.washington.edu)
