addedFront Office Football Eight has been updated to Version 8.1. New games now default to using the new 2017 player file and coach file, and use the 2017 schedule. This update "moves" the San Diego franchise to the Los Angeles area for new careers. In order to have this reflected in new careers, you will need to delete the files beginning with frfoot.* in the universe folder where saved games are stored (see the FAQ at solecismic.com for instructions on how to find this folder if you're not already familiar with saved games). There are also a few minor AI tweaks, bug fixes and interface enhancements. Nothing earth-shattering. None of this will affect saved games. The only bug fixes relate to removing players from IR and a couple of penalty decision quirks. The biggest AI tweaks relate to late-game defensive calls (this is very tricky for many reasons), AI passing targets and classification of offensive play styles. Oh, and overtime during the regular season is now ten minutes long. This will greatly increase the rate of tie games. You can continue existing careers without any disruption. Thanks again for supporting Solecisimic Software. Almost 20 years now!
