After a few months off of PC gaming, I've
reinstalled my Football Mogul and I'm having a blast. After
checking out the imonkey website, I happened to stumble
onto the Yahoo F.M. Fanatics site. <br><br>Let me know
if there's a spot for me in your league and what I
need to join. <br><br>Thanks.

We have a few openings left.  FA starts on
Monday.<br><br>members.tripod.com/william4192<br><br>or email at
william4192@...

there are still 9 openings in the MLFL. If anyone wants to join, then go to

Hello, Football Mogul Fans -<br><br>I hope I'm
not interrupting, but I wanted to let everyone in
this club know that Baseball Mogul 2002 has been
released, and can be found at our new website:
<a href=http://www.sportsmogul.com target=new>http://www.sportsmogul.com</a>
<br><br>As of Friday, June 8 the game has been
approved by the MLBPA and sent into production. The first
copies of the game should ship to fans by June
25.<br><br>Since this club is devoted to Football Mogul, rather
than Baseball Mogul, I won't go into great depth about
the features of the new game.<br><br>But if you would
like to find out more about Baseball Mogul, Football
Mogul, or any of our upcoming games, go to our new
website
at:<br><br><a href=http://www.sportsmogul.com
target=new>http://www.sportsmogul.com</a><br><br>Thanks for your continued
loyalty and
support!<br><br>James Grove<br>VP of Marketing & Business
Development<br>Sports Mogul Inc.

Great patch! I love playing games with each of your new patches.

I created three other minor patches. They aren't
all that much different from the original, but they
include the Texans and the Browns. The players that make
up the Texans are rookies who didn't get drafted,
Arena Football players, and ex-XFLers.

The MLFL will be opening back up with a more stable file. 
members.tripod.com/william4192  Please at least stop by and check us
out.<br><br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Will

a.) No Cleveland Browns.  Pass, not accurate.<br><br>b.) Your picture file
doesn't download properly.  It's only a few K in size.

The new patch is ready. Is is accurate as of today.<br><br><a

br>Give me your feedback.

The complaints about the ICFM seem to be that
many are upset with the owners in terms of trading
(the new guys think the old guys are trying to rip
them off), and the "special draft" and other methods
of which the commish institutes new players. A lot
of people don't like the special players being
added, thinking that they hurt the league by adding too
many unrealistic players that are "too good".<br><br>I
don't have a problem with that but many people do. They
don't like these really good players being
added.<br><br>Personally I think the college draft is pitiful and there's
never any good talent in there (after round
one).<br><br>One other minor problem is I think some owners were
criticizing others of owning more than one team but you can't
avoid that anywhere.

It is not important

How important is a "real mogul rating"? I want to create my own leage but it
always tells me that it will invalidate my Mogul rating.<br><br>Thanks!<br>Brian

Actually, Co - Commishing can help or hinder a
league depending on how everything works out.<br><br>I
feel, you could make a solid league, if you could get
into the code, and web enable this game, the problem
is, forcing the owners to have the game, it's what
kills the online play of it. Granted, this game only
costs $10 at some stores, it still hinders the younger
crowd that can't afford the game yet. I feel, if they
get addicted now, when they can afford it, the game
will grow.<br><br>But then again, thats my 2 cents

Yes, I believe taht a co-commish league could
work. However we don't seem to be generating enough
interest at this site to form a new league. <br><br>Those
who've tried ICFM, the only active league that I'm aware
of, what are the preceived downsides to this league.
It seems to have a large number of participants.
What would a new league offer to differentiate itself
from ICFM?

I agree to a certain extent. If we were able to
get together a group of folks to act as
co-commisioners the tasks could be broken up into more manageable
and less time consuming. For example, a web designer,
a commish, etc. That sort of thing. I realize I'm a
newbie to the page (the game as well, I have yet to
receive my copy, but its on its way) but couldn't this
conceivably work and make for a more enjoyable game? I'd tend
to think yes.<br><br>Shawn

I would join this new league. I have time to committ as an owner, but definitely
not as a commish. :-(

Ok, I always do admire the person who attempts to
take upon him the task of "Commissioner". Even if they
don't know how, but for those of you who have never
commished and are thinking about it. Here is a list of
things you may want to think about before getting your
feet in this situation and pissing a lot of people
off.<br><br>1) First thing, know the game you are using, inside
and out(One reason I have yet to run a Mogul
league)<br><br> You need to realize, that if you don't know your
software and you continue to screw up on coaches orders
and such, your coaches will leave.<br><br>2) Have
some Web Knowledge.<br><br> I see this a lot, it
doesn't hinder a league, it just makes it look bad. Know
how to make a web page, make it easy to navigate, and
keep everything out in the open for people to find.
And most of all, make it look nice. There are tools
out there that make even the novice look like a
professional web developer.<br><br>3) Set a schedule and stick
to it.<br><br> Thats right, set your schedule and
stick to it, I have lost owners in previous leagues for
not following my schedule a lot. You need to do
this.<br><br>4) Have the time to run the league<br><br> Time, a
valued commodity that not a lot of people have, but you
need this for a commissioner. Look at having around 1
to 2 hours a day to make sure everything is smooth
and updates are done. Think about this, I mean truly
think about this, I am saying this is equal to 7 to 14
hours a week, for some, it's the equivalent of a part
time job (trust me, it feels like it
sometimes)<br><br>5) Patience is a virtue<br><br> This old addage
stays true for everything you do, you need to be
patient with your owners, some may bitch and moan, others
may even attempt to cheat, I have seen it all in the
5 years I have been running online sports leagues
(FbPro, BbPro, and now Fast Break Basketball) and my
patience has been tested (trust me, I have a wife and 2
kids, I have patience)<br><br>When you are ready to
uptake these 5 tips, I feel your league can run smooth,
I have been able to run successful leagues (to bad
FbPro hate seasons longer than 6 with file corruption)
following all of this, and I always remember the last
inmportant rule<br><br>HAVE FUN!<br><br>Good Luck
all<br><br>MacroGuru aka Dennis

This is likely another reason why leagues fail.
People who have no business being the "Commissioner",
decide they'll create a league for something that they
kno nothing about. They get bored of it after a few
weeks and leave everyone stranded. I agree that someone
with knowledge of the game and commitment to
maintaining a league is essential.<br><br>I'm not saying I'd
do any better. The task is daunting. Between loading
files, running matches, and updating websites, etc. I
imagine it takes a lot of time.

Well, there seems to be an owner starting another
league, and I contacted him about it. I think it would be
in the best interest of us fans to start a new
league. The guy who is starting the league doesn't seem
to know anything about running a league or Football
Mogul.

I've searched for leagues, finding many inactive
leagues. I'd be interested in entering a new league,
unfortunately do not have the time to coordinate it. It seems
like this would be the best place to identify an
interest in an new online league. If we could get 20-24
individuals who were committed to participating in a league
it might be easier to find someone willing to invest
the time to administering a league.<br><br>So whose
interested?

Is anyone starting a new league anytime soon? There is only one active league on
the internet, and I think that there needs to be a better league than the ICFM.
It's not very fun.

After several unsuccessful attempts to get a
picture patch to work, I got lucky. We now have the
pictures for FB Mogul. Extract the pics to the photos
directory for the patch to work. It is a huge file so it
will take a long time todownload it.

I have v1.0 of Football Mogul and there seems to
be a bug. When I Trade for a better punter, and the
trade is accepted, the punter NEVER shows up in my
teams roster.. I only have this problem with the Kicker
and Punter, and NO Other players<br>Is this a bug? Is
there a fix?<br><br>Thanks<br>Steverd

Does anyone know any warez sites that has football or baseball mogul for free?

I found a roster patch but when i try to install
it i get a error message saying "you are missing one
or more files you must have full version of game to
use patch if you have full version of game reinstall
and try again" I have the full version and i have
tried reinstalling the game but it will not work.
Anybody know what to do here

I had a pretty good roster patch but i had to reinstall my game and lost it. Now
i can not find a roster patch anywhere. Thanks for any help

They have something online that is like a Hockey Mogul game. I've joined a
league and it's pretty fun.<br><br><a href=http://www.provisionsports.com

I'm about half way through the roster updates, but the picture patch is already
up

It should work, but Clay thinks that there may be a bug in it, causing it to not
work correctly. Clay said he will try to make a patch for it later.

Does anybody have a patch to make the Hall of Fame work?
