FixesBack to Top

Both Platforms:

  • Game used to be prone to crashing when bypassing intro and in-game movies. This has been addressed.
  • Addressed some LAN-gaming issues.
  • When performing a Full Draft in Season mode, clicking the Pick For Me button when a player card was on-screen used to cause a crash with an error. This has been fixed.
  • Tool-tip in options screen tells user they may *view*, their game-setup options, rather than change them.
  • Music didn't loop correctly after user visits the cards room
  • Fixed problem where using space-bar to pause did not work after loading a playbook.
  • Footprints are now removed properly during field-goals in snow games.

PC-specific fixes:

  • Added IP-address dialog box for internet games
  • PC uninstaller now removes saved playbook files
  • Game now goes into demo mode when left unattended on PC, instead of repeatedly prompting user to start a game.

Mac-specific fixes:

  • The Mac Readme files are now the plaintext version of the HTML helpfiles.

Other InformationBack to Top

    There are two updates users can make to the "Football2002.inf" file:

    • Internet play can be enabled by finding the section labeled [DefaultINIValues] and typing "InternetConnect=1" underneath it.

    • Demo games can be replaced by helpful prompts on the clubhouse screen by finding the section labeled [DefaultINIValues] and looking for the line beneath it that reads "DemoGameDelay=45". The "45" should be changed to a "0", as so: "DemoGameDelay=0".
