Release Date

[Vig1980]

I am new to the forum so I apologise if this has been asked but what is the projected release date / period for this game?

Thasnk...

[Arlie Rahn]

Third quarter 2005.

[Vig1980]

Thanks Arlie.

So tomorrow is the first day of 3Q 2005. Is it here yet? :)

...I don't even know how to respond to that stupid post above.

[Greendiver]

It was a joke you fool...

[Colby]

Not a good one at that.

To make this post not totally point-less, I'd just like to say that I'm probably going to get this game and it will be my first GDS game other than TEW 05 that I will buy. I rarely buy games off the net other then Ryland products so I that says this game has some great potential.

Good Job.

If you like pro basketball TPB 2005 is a great game, download the demo and give it a try. Like you I await BBCF with great excitement.

Total Pro Football by Arlie is great too

"great" may be over-rating this game somewhat.

I own both TPF and FOF (most recent version) and I find FOF is more enjoyable than TPF and easier to play. TPF is "prettier" but weighed down by complicated menus and little bugs. I truly hope that "Bowl Bound" will live up to it's hype that TPF never quite did.

I agree. It's basically a matter of what type of game you prefer. I think both games are very good but I've spent far more time with TPF than FOF.

I concur.

FOF is great, but TPF is not bad for a second pro football sim game.

TPF latest patch 1.43 is pretty solid that Arlie just did recently. and i hear Arlie is going to do another update patch for TPF too soon.

I sold that game months ago because of how disappointing it was.

Sounds like good progress is being made on the game -- by third qtr I assume September or October -- just in time for the college Football season.

Hope on-line play is solid ---

Until this comes out, i'll have to "settle" for NCAA 2006..which comes out July 12th, but a few CompUSA's have already released it, none in my area though.

[Powerguy]

I'd save my money if I were you.

[Vig1980]

For some reason I've never enjoyed the NCAA games like Madden....I expect Bowlbound to fill the gap!

[alvarez16]

It will be released probably near the release of TEW!

[smartman]

COOL!!!!!!!!! The marketing for BBCF should be "all the game you would ever want without any of the 20 programming shortcuts of TEW".
