A title that goes against the grain in football simulations. A title that begs to be played again and again. No fancy graphics, just spreadsheet-like rows of names, numbers and figures. As the only source of control, you set ticket prices and lobby your local government on a yearly basis for stadium renovation and construction. Your bottom line is the bottom line.
Profit comes from winning, which attracts advertising and fans.
Profit is maximized from those fans by having the nicest stadium you can afford. You start a game of FOF by choosing which franchise you want to control at the start of the 1998 pre-season. Note that cities and franchise names can be changed at will, but once you've taken the helm of a franchise, you cannot jump ship to another. You take some time to acquaint yourself with your team's roster, and with your coaches' and players' strengths and weaknesses. Your coaching staff will make all in-game calls from there.
