Second Season Football
Testimonials
 

Here's what fans have to say about Second Season!

 

"I got the game a few days ago....WOW...you've done a remarkable job with the new features!!  The solo coach system is awesome, as well as the color team sheets.  Thanks again, great service! great game!"

"I got the new yearbook and once again you have improved the game. I can tell you are a long time board gamer (like me) and I hope our hobby continues into the future. Computers are nice, but no substitute for your own brain and a pair of dice."

Love it, love it!!  Too often in this world we fail to praise those who deserve it.  Complaints rule the day.  Well, you earn a huge kudos from me.  A high quality product at a fair price.

 
 
"SECOND SEASON just keeps getting better and better! This game is by far the most accurate simulation I have ever played of pro football defense, with a unique focus on individual players! It really captures the rhythm and flow of a pro game! Keep up the great work!"

"Second Season is OUTSTANDING in EVERY WAY! Best football sim I've ever seen. Hands DOWN."

"I ordered your football game a couple of months ago and am quite impressed with it. The flow is smooth and I especially like the fact that player ratings aren't too complicated. Keep up the good work!"

"I really enjoy playing SECOND SEASON and I even take to work with me to play during lunch! I use Lotus 1-2-3 to create random number dice rolls, it's a lot easier to do this than to explain about having dice at work, and print out several sheets of them at a time so I don't get stuck running out in the middle of a game. Keep up the great work!"

"FANTASTIC!! Very professionally done, lots of detail, not complicated (even though the playbook might appear daunting at first glance). I could go on and on. I think you have a great product!"

"Just wanted to let you know that I finished my first game, with Tennessee besting Indianapolis 34-17 behind a good ball control offense. The game is awesome. The play flows well, the flipping of the chart book is not bad. I love the fact that non skill players have such a role in the game. As a long time _____ player it was a little weird at first having an offensive line player decide the play, but once I got past that it was great! Thanks for a great game!"

"First, the presentation of the game is first rate. The game charts are nice and the individual books containing the team ratings for each season are easy to use and also contain a nice short description of each team's success or failure for that year. The game itself is well thought out. You can tell the designer has put some years into developing it. The rules are easy to understand, and it did not take long to get a game going. I really like the rating system for players. The game incorporates individual players wonderfully. One thing that impressed me about the game is that luck, while playing a part, is really defined by how good or bad the players are. Most big plays are going to come as a result of a great player, not because you rolled a certain lucky number multiple times. The 'game on the line' and variable ratings for players add a lot to the game. They really help define a team and its players strengths and weaknesses in game defining situations. I like this game very much, and would definitely recommend it!"

I received the copy of Second Season I ordered from you a few weeks ago now and I have been meaning to write you a short note to thank you so much for a fine game. You processed my order very promptly, and I am thrilled to have the game. I have played other football games for over 20 years now, but SECOND SEASON is now my game of choice!"

"Thanks for coming up with this great game. I can see why everyone is high on SECOND SEASON! It might be the best board game I have ever played!"

"SECOND SEASON is a winner with me! Having played so many table sports games over the years, I'm amazed at myself for still being "addicted" to them at the age of 54. Yours is among the best football simulation games I've ever played because it allows for so many variations on each play. As I turn the pages, I imagine the play unfolding in my mind. Basing many play results on the abilities of offensive linemen, not just the skill position players, is a great touch of realism missing in most other games. In SECOND SEASON, one never knows on any given play which player or group of players, offense or defense, will influence the outcome. Depending on the defense called, the location of the ball on the field, the quarter, the same dice roll for any given play will provide a different result. That unpredictability is what makes me coming back for more and what makes playing the game so enjoyable."

"Just thought I'd let you know that the game arrived today! Absolutely amazing - one week and one day since I mailed the order, the postman has it as my door. By far the fastest turnaround I've ever had on an order from the US. Nose in the rule book as we speak...Take care, and thanks!"

"You have created a masterpiece! This is the best board game I have ever played. Video games can not even touch this game. I have a game going on right now between Arizona and New England. At the half, Arizona is leading 10 to 7. I am looking forward to creating new players and new teams. I have big plans for this game!"

"My uncle and I have played tabletop sports games of one brand or another (in an number of different sports) for the better part of the last 25 years. We have never been completely satisfied with the playability of any of the major football games. But from the time that I introduced him to SECOND SEASON, it has become his favorite table top football game, as well as mine. This game is highly playable (and enjoyable) whether played head to head or solitaire."

"It's a great game, and I really enjoy the way different players whose cards seem to just take up space in other games (i.e. offensive and defensive linemen) really get into the action and affect play!"

"I play solitaire and I never thought I would ever find a game that played so well solitaire. Seems that when people invent games the solitaire player is always left out and never considered. This game plays better than ANY football game I have ever played and I have been playing 30 years. As long as you make this game I will be a customer. Just keep the seasons past and present coming!"

"Enjoying the game very much. I think it's by far the best football simulation I've played. Let me know if you produce any of the 1950's seasons."

"I have played many board and computer football games, but I think this is the best all-around game of all! Flipping those pages is a small price to pay for the end product! I also want to thank you for the promptness with which you handled my first order. I look forward to a long relationship with your organization and would love to receive your newsletters!"

"I am thoroughly enjoying Second Season. The game engine for Second Season is stellar--clearly the most entertaining tabletop football sim I've ever played. The testimonials I read before purchasing the game were on the money. Keep up the good work!"

"I know you've heard it before, but after playing several of the football board games out there for many years, yours is hereby crowned "the best of 'em all!"

"Your football game, is without a doubt, the BEST football game on the market. I just wanted to let you know that, even with the other choices out there with some factor of nostalgia, I will always choose your game first, due to it's smooth-flowing, accurate style of play."

"The game is turning out to be everything you promised. Great system, especially for me as a solitaire player. Terrific design - can't wait to get the 2001 playbook, and I'd love to see some more 1970's and 1980's seasons."

"I think you have an outstanding product here. Using the "how-to" guide, I am going to attempt to create some great college teams. You really have created a relatively simple yet sophisticated game in SECOND SEASON. I can't think of any football games of this depth that you can learn to play by reading the play examples on your webpage. I also appreciate the team on a page format which really saves time and space and allows you to get right into the game. I can tell you've put a lot of hours into playtesting and researching. This game really is a gem."

"This is by far the best football game I have ever played. It took a few minutes to get the hang of it, but after about half a quarter it really started to flow well. Great game!"

"I have enjoyed the game tremendously since getting my copy with the 1960 season from you last year. It's become my football replay game of choice! many thanks for your efforts!"

"I just wanted to take a quick second, to say thank you for creating a superb game, and for the excellent service you provide!"

"I think your game is terrific! Before yours, my favorite was SPI--I developed and programmed the software version of the game. Your game gets the entire supporting cast involved ( ______ does also, but not in the exciting way your game does!). It is obvious that you game is a labor of love and you have done a beautiful job--congratulations! I own a hobby shop and will eagerly recommend your game to anyone who is looking for a football board game."

"I have been playing football board games for over 30 years, and this is far and away the best one I have ever played. You have a new lifetime customer!"

"I found the rules and set-up time to be very straightforward and quick, zero problems. After reading the instructions, everything falls into place. As for the game, I find that it plays exceptionally smoothly. The game book literally walks you though the results so there is never any uncertainty what to do. I like the team layouts with multiple individual ratings for all players. The pass/run ratings for all defenders is super. Thanks for a great game, I'm glad I bought it."

"After playing quite a few games, I can see this game is right on the money. Glad that I bought it! The scores and results I'm getting are right on, even upsets--uncanny! Keep up the good work and keep me informed if anything new comes up!"

"This feels more like real football than any other sim I've ever played, computer or otherwise! SECOND SEASON seems to have everything in it--a real gem!"

"This game is the most excellent game I have ever seen! How many football table games put the load of running two yards for the first down on the back of the offensive tackle to get the job done? This game is simple, yet challenging. Anything can happen, and it usually DOES! The other thing is that the game has almost no set-up time. Thanks for the entertainment and for trying to make the game at a cost everyone can afford."

"I'm enjoying my slow but steady replay of the 1960 season. Your game is great fun and less predictable than most others. Great job! I took it with me on a just-completed family trip to France, and managed to squeeze in a few games between visits to the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame. It made for an interesting contrast!"

"What a great product! The rules are very easy to understand and I should enjoy many happy hours playing your very realistic game! Have owned ______, _____, ________, and __________. Second Season is at the top of my pro game list!"

"SECOND SEASON Pro Football is one of the most playable games I've ever seen! Great job! To me, what make your game better than _____ is the fact that a poor offensive lineman will blow a key block that a superior lineman would make. I've never seen a more playable game in my life! I can't say enough how well done this game is, it's truly a "diamond-in-the-rough!"

"I enjoy SECOND SEASON Pro Football very much. It is like watching a game on television watching the play develop. It's suspenseful, exciting, and beautiful. Yours is by far the best football game I've played since I started playing sports board games thirteen years ago. I haven't been this excited about a game in some time. As I'm sure you've heard from other people, you've done excellent work here."

"I would like to congratulate you on an outstanding effort. The thought and detail that went into this system is quite apparent. You've got descriptive plays--a great innovation lacking in most board games-- and an innovative way of bringing non-skill players into the mix. the game flow is smoothly once you master the rules. All in all...a great effort and fun to play!"

"Simply put, SECOND SEASON Pro Football is wonderful! The game has excellent mechanics and the day I received it I plunged right into a game played it to conclusion without much of a problem. You've found a great way to integrate the performances of ALL the players on a football field. For playability, for realism, for detail, I give your game very high marks!"

"Reading through some of the play results, you can visualize what's happening much better that games such as _____ or _____, or even ______. You seem to have thought of everything. My wife probably thinks I'm nuts, cause I was carrying the game around everywhere, saying, 'Boy, this guy has made a really good game here!'"

"I've enjoyed learning and playing the game. The game plays easily, and I like the game's ability to bring all of the player's strengths and weaknesses into play. I think you've done a good job of achieving that. The punting and kicking game is very well done. I think you've also achieved a good balance in terms of penalties, i.e. frequency, distribution, etc."

"I am very impressed...the ability to incorporate non-skill position players in a smooth fashion is something I haven't seen in other football sims. I was also very pleasantly surprised at how quickly I was able to play the first game. You have come up with a very entertaining game and it is one of the few that I will continue to play after the first few games have been played."

"WOW! The game is fantastic. A lot of work has obviously gone into this project and it works very well."

"I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the creation of SECOND SEASON Pro Football. It's truly unique in its genre of football simulations. Just last night I played a 1968 match-up between Dallas and Baltimore. Baltimore won 21-7, but the enjoyable and unique part was HOW they won. Dallas seemed to move the ball at will between the 20's, but four separate times the Baltimore defense stiffened when it counted. I could "see" Baltimore defenders make drive-ending stops that I couldn't in any other game!"

"The charts are a snap to get through. I love the pass/run ratings, they give that real individual player feeling. The variable player ratings, and exceptional & questionable ratings, and 'game on the line' ratings are all groundbreaking ratings I've never seen in a football game before. Last but definitely NOT least, it is an excellent solitaire game! I love it!"

"One of the best games for solitaire that I have ever played! There's basically no set up time, you go right into the action. I like the idea of flipping through the game book because it ads to the excitement of the play unfolding. I am currently replaying Green Bay's 1960 season, and I'm enjoying table games once again! I've played them all...and this one fits the best for me!"

"The game plays really well...I really like the system where a play starts with the linemen or defense often being the first influence on the play, because that is how football happens. The thing I like about your game is that it re-creates FOOTBALL, not just football STATISTICS. For example, you often see a pro coach make great calls in a game only to see a pass route not run right, or a block missed. I think your game captures that better then any other game I have played. (Maybe that is not a good thing though-- that is, to have the frustration level equal to what real coaches have to face!)"

"I just got the game in the mail a day or two ago, and I love it. The game flows from one chart to the next. It seemed to me the game does a good job of simulation, and also moves a great deal faster than many other tabletop alternatives. I'm very satisfied with the purchase and am looking forward to more seasons!"

"You've done something great here! You've kept a lot of the detail that games like Phantasm had in their player ratings but still kept the basic mechanics simple like _____, but MUCH more accurate! You have consolidated player attributes into a few key categories instead of a dozen specific ones, and kept the play-calling equally streamlined. I also love the variable and 'game-on-the-line" player ratings! No other game really does that well and the ability to rally a team and to produce in the red zone are two of the most important features of any player. SECOND SEASON Pro Football is the first game clever enough to not only recognize that the field gets shorter in the red zone but some players get taller...and that time gets lesser when the game is on the line but some guys get greater!"

"Very impressed! I have played ______, ________, and others, so I have a fair amount of experience playing football games! Second Season is fast to play--much faster than _______--and yet brings in the individual player ratings in an accurate, fun and exciting way. It knocks the spots of lots of 'bestsellers", even from the computer!
