Hello and welcome to the one and only Front Office Football game for the PC.
It has made its way through sales without a whole lot of people knowing too
much about this game. It really is worth the buy and displays excellent replay
value. The game tests your management skills. You are essentially a coach and
you have to organize a pro NFL team. You have many options just as a normal
coach would have. You can draft, sign free agents, and even record records in
the record book. This makes you want to play season after season as each one
will work on top of each other letting you succeed on. Now it may seem as if
you are a coach but you really can sign your "team's" coach. You are the one
that manages the team. Let us put it that way.

This FAQ is purposed to display regular information on the game. As this is
not one of the step by step games, I will give you general information on
completing good seasons and organizing a well built team. This really is the
main goal of the game and certainly is worth writing about. I hope that you
enjoy my writing!

E-mail: bjsalari[at]hotmail[dot]com

I will not be very strict when it comes to e-mail. Why? Simple! There will
probably be nobody interested in e-mailing me. I am sure not many people have
this game, but I really want to encourage people in getting this game. If you
do have this game, which somebody probably does, you must at least follow the
following e-mail rules.

1. Don't e-mail me information already in the FAQ.

Seriously, if you are going to waist my time and e-mail me, it better not be in
the FAQ. That really makes it very frustrating when I have to answer questions
I have already answered. Let's just put it this way, if you have a doubt in the
game, READ the FAQ. If it is not there then please e-mail me. I would be glad
to add information given by you (credit will be given). I also have no
problem helping people on any puzzles or just one general area of the game.
I think you are starting to get the point.

2. Subject

Please, when you e-mail, place something related to this FAQ in the subject. I
am not always in the mood to check mail that looks junky so I might throw it
out. Usually if I get your e-mail I will write back to you. So if I don't write
back, I probably didn't get your FAQ. All understood?

3. Credit

Please, I encourage people to find information or alternate strategies in doing
something. I would like to build it on my FAQ and will always give rightful
credit to the one providing the information. That is something I really like to
do. Just e-mail me a tip, trick, secret etc.

Just please follow these rules and everything will go fine. I hope you are
satisfied with these conditions. Thanks for your cooperation.

Arizona Cardinals
<><><><><><><><><><><><>

Roster Cohesion
---------------

a. Passing: 62
b. Offensive Line: 71
c. Defensive Front: 76
d. Secondary: 83

Roster Strength
---------------

a. Starters: 58
b. Reserves: 24

My opinion
----------

Well, the Cardinals are not generally the best team. They are weak on both the
starters and reserves. They don't have any running game but there passing is
decent. Plummer will set good records on your first few years. There defense,
too, has very little talent. I am serious, this is one of the worst teams to
start. I would say the only star player that will do anything is David Boston.
He is a rookie and very good in catching. No matter what team I am on I usually
try to get Randy Moss or David Boston. These really are one of the best
receivers. Expect your numbers to show in the passing game.

<><><><><><><><><><><><>
Atlanta Falcons
<><><><><><><><><><><><>

Roster Cohesion
---------------

a. Passing: 62
b. Offensive Line: 70
c. Defensive Front: 72
d. Secondary: 86

Roster Strength
---------------

a. Starters: 100
b. Reserves: 30

My opinion
----------

The Atlanta Falcons have the best starters in the game. I would say they would be
an excellent choice if you are looking for a good team. Though they do not have
the most sufficient reserves, they still supply you with key guns. First off,
Jamal Anderson. He is probably the best back next to Denver's Davis. He is
guaranteed to get you a good 1,700 yards or so. This is one thing that is a major
plus. Eugene Robinson at safety is very good with interceptions. He will pick off
a good 7-8 in a season. This is all you can ask from the current safetys. This is
a good team to choose from.


3.
<><><><><><><><><><><><>
Baltimore Ravens
<><><><><><><><><><><><>

Roster Cohesion
---------------

a. Passing: 61
b. Offensive Line: 64
c. Defensive Front: 83
d. Secondary: 78

Roster Strength
---------------

a. Starters: 25
b. Reserves: 32

My opinion
----------

Sorry, this is the Ravens before they won the super bowl. They are pretty pathetic
as of their starters. Rated poor, they have NO QB. The only actual good player on
your team is the all-star Jonathan Ogden. The thing is, key blocks are not going
to cut your slack. Your team will need some building. I would recommend that you
start the building of your team after the first season. If you get good people too
early, they may become bad do to performance of your team the first year. Expect
better years than your first.


4.
<><><><><><><><><><><><>
Buffalo Bills
<><><><><><><><><><><><>

Roster Cohesion
---------------

a. Passing: 80
b. Offensive Line: 80
c. Defensive Front: 93
d. Secondary: 100

Roster Strength
---------------

a. Starters: 62
b. Reserves: 94

My opinion
----------

This Bills are a good team in this game. Rob Johnson, for some odd reason, is rated
very good in this game. Well, that only makes the team much better. Antoine Smith
is young and has some good future improvement for later on in the years. But the
strength for the Bills is not all in the offense. A lot is in the Defense. Bruce
Smith and Sam Cowart will give you a good amount of sacks and tackles. This will
help you get the ball more often, thus scoring more points. Not bad at all of a
team to start out with.


5.
<><><><><><><><><><><><>
Carolina Panthers
<><><><><><><><><><><><>

Roster Cohesion
---------------

a. Passing: 65
b. Offensive Line: 71
c. Defensive Front: 65
d. Secondary: 66

Roster Strength
---------------

a. Starters: 50
b. Reserves: 21

My opinion
----------

The Panthers are not my favorite team nor are they very good. They have a decent
QB but horrible running game. I would work on getting a RB from the Free Agents
before the start of the first season. I big disappointment is the fact that
Mushin Muhammad is rated horrible in this game. I am sorry that I don't have a
whole lot to say on this team but they really are bad. I would not recommend this
to anyone playing this game.


6.
<><><><><><><><><><><><>
Chicago Bears
<><><><><><><><><><><><>

Roster Cohesion
---------------

a. Passing: 71
b. Offensive Line: 80
c. Defensive Front: 86
d. Secondary: 58

Roster Strength
---------------

a. Starters: 44
b. Reserves: 0

My opinion
----------

The Bears are good and horrible. I don't know which one to pick. Their offense
is horrible. They have Cade but he is nothing in this game. I think his rating
should be a bit better. Their RB is also bad. James Allen is good now but not
back then. Sorry for in inconvenience. The defense is a bit better though.
Walt Harris is pretty good for the interception game. Brad Minter is a good
LB that should get you some good tackles. I know you all miss Brian Urlacher
but you are going to have to live with it.


7.
<><><><><><><><><><><><>
Cincinnati Bengals
<><><><><><><><><><><><>

Roster Cohesion
---------------

a. Passing: 76
b. Offensive Line: 89
c. Defensive Front: 83
d. Secondary: 61

Roster Strength
---------------

a. Starters: 60
b. Reserves: 46

My opinion
----------

The Bengals are not good now and certainly are not very good here. Well, they
have the usual Corey Dillion and Carl Pickens, but NO QB. I promise you that.
Takeo Spikes is also a key LB, if not the best in the league. He should help
out your Defense greatly. Maybe even keep you in some games. Overall, this
team is one you are going to have wait on. Start drafting as soon as possible.

8.
<><><><><><><><><><><><>
Cleveland Browns
<><><><><><><><><><><><>

Roster Cohesion
---------------

a. Passing: 49
b. Offensive Line: 55
c. Defensive Front: 52
d. Secondary:

Roster Strength
---------------

a. Starters: 4
b. Reserves: 53

My opinion
----------

Hey, it is the expansion team of this game. They, of course, are rated pretty
bad. There is one huge advantage though. You get to PICK your team. Yes, that
is right. This game was made before the picking of the draft. So you get an
expansion draft just for you. In the draft, immediately go for a QB, RB, and
WR. These are the keys to the Browns success.

9.
<><><><><><><><><><><><>
Dallas Cowboys
<><><><><><><><><><><><>

Roster Cohesion
---------------

a. Passing: 100
b. Offensive Line: 81
c. Defensive Front: 80
d. Secondary: 90

Roster Strength
---------------

a. Starters: 72
b. Reserves: 53

My opinion
----------

This is the complete opposite of the Bengals. I mean the Cowboys are
horrible this year. In this game they are almost perfect. Emmitt Smith
will get you around 15 hundred yards while good old Troy Aikman is back.
He will throw a good 4,000 yards. You cannot ask for much more than that.
I would recommend this team to all those people who only like GOOD teams.
Yes, you all know who you are.

10.
<><><><><><><><><><><><>
Denver Broncos
<><><><><><><><><><><><>

Roster Cohesion
---------------

a. Passing: 68
b. Offensive Line: 80
c. Defensive Front: 79
d. Secondary: 98

Roster Strength
---------------

a. Starters: 50
b. Reserves: 10

My opinion
----------

The Broncos are decent in this game. I mean, Terrell Davis is very
good, maybe even the best in the game. But the passing is horrible.
They have a Bring Griese. Not THEE Brian Griese. In this game he
is rated horrible. I would say the passing is what really drops the
offenseive rating. Expect good secondary though. Not a bad but not
a good team.

11.
<><><><><><><><><><><><>
Detroit Lions
<><><><><><><><><><><><>

Roster Cohesion
---------------

a. Passing: 82
b. Offensive Line: 84
c. Defensive Front: 79
d. Secondary: 68

Roster Strength
---------------

a. Starters: 28
b. Reserves: 97

My opinion
----------

This Lions team is pretty good. Nothing like the one we all laugh
at today. They have Charlie Batch, who for some reason is really
good in this game. Barry is even in this! Man, he will tack on
a good 15 hundred yards to the list. Herman Moore and Desmond
Howard will also help your team greatly.

12.
<><><><><><><><><><><><>
Greenbay Packers
<><><><><><><><><><><><>

Roster Cohesion
---------------

a. Passing: 80
b. Offensive Line: 76
c. Defensive Front: 86
d. Secondary: 100

Roster Strength
---------------

a. Starters: 76
b. Reserves: 33

My opinion
----------

Yes! Brett Favre is back and is as good as ever. He, in my opinion
is the best QB in this game. One thing you have to watch out for is
that the rest of their offense is horrible. They have NO Wr or RB.
I know the Packers were good this year but not for a while now. If
you like passing pick this team and try your best to get Randy or
David.


13.
<><><><><><><><><><><><>
Indianapolis Colts
<><><><><><><><><><><><>

Roster Cohesion
---------------

a. Passing: 56
b. Offensive Line: 75
c. Defensive Front: 75
d. Secondary: 61

Roster Strength
---------------

a. Starters: 12
b. Reserves: 0

My opinion
----------

This is my personal favorite team. The colts have Manning and James in
this game. That is a plus. Unfortuantly they do not have Freeney. Not
to worry. Harrison is horrible in this game which is really odd, but
you can easily get Moss or Boston for some easy draft picks. I would
recommend this team to all people liking the Colts and people looking
for a challenge in their progressive game.

14.
<><><><><><><><><><><><>
Jacksonville Jaguars
<><><><><><><><><><><><>

Roster Cohesion
---------------

a. Passing: 71
b. Offensive Line: 76
c. Defensive Front: 77
d. Secondary: 62

Roster Strength
---------------

a. Starters: 61
b. Reserves: 37

My opinion
----------

Not a bad Jag team. They have Brunell, who is rated pretty good in this
game. They also have Fred Taylor. He will get about 1,300 yards. This
is not bad and is someone you should certainly keep. Jimmy Smith is
a very good WR. Maybe one of the best. You have Bosseli and Tony Brackens.
There are some major advantages in this team. If you are a noob, pick
this team.

Let me guess? You guys want that almight Priest Holmes right? Sorry. He is
in this game. But, he has the worst rating. It is better of to get a rookie
running back off of the free agents. The Chiefs have Elvis but he is not
that good. I would say that their defense is ok in the LB but is pretty bad
in most other places. I would recommend this team to people in need of a
challenge.

My opinion

The Dolphins have Danny boy. Yes that is right. They have the
amazing Dan Marino. He has no one to pass to on the other
hand. That is why their offense is not as good as most. Since
they do not have Ricky Williams in this game their running
game is not as productive. I would not recommend this team
even if your are a Dolphin fan.

Daunte Culpepper is a decent QB to start of with. He has the best
WR's to pass to. That is what makes their offense so good. I am
always talking about getting Randy Moss. Well here you do not
have to. You already have him. Him and Chris Carter will make
a good team as they do in real life.

My opinion

No Brady. The recent super bowl winners are not the same as this team. Man,
they hardly have anyone. I really do not like this team. It is, again, a
team in which you should wait until next draft to complete your team. In
the beginning it will be very unorganized and unskilled. As your years
progress you will get more experienced. A big advantage in this team
is the fact that they have Drew Bledsoe. Yes, it is weird but fair.

My opinion

The Saints are not particulary good. They have one big advantage. Ricky
Williams is there starting RB and is pretty good. I would relate him
to Edgerrin James. They also have Joe Horn who is a good enough WR to
get you through the years. Good luck on this team as I really hate them.

My opinion

The Jets have very good secondary. Glenn will get you a massive amount
of interceptions. Also, Curtis Martain will get you a good 1,500 yards.
That is someting you should really consider. To bad Pennington is not
in this game. He would have a really good rating making the passing
game much better. You are just going to have to live with Vinney.
Have fun with this team.

My opinion
----------

The Giants have gotten a lot better. They are decent in this game. They
still have Tiki Barber, who is pretty good. They do not have Ron dayne
on the other hand. They also have Ike Hilliard who can hook up with a
decent QB, Kerry Collins. They have Sehourn, who is certainly a good
CB. Expect decent things from this team. They can easily be doctored
up after the first couple of seasons. I would recommend that you make
them a full team after 2-3 years and drafts. Good luck!

My opinion

The Raiders are back and are as good as usual. The only think that
they do not have right now is Jerry Rice. Charles Woodson is very
good in this game and the fact that Rich Gannon can hook up with
Tim Brown will scare any team. I would recommend this team to the
people who have never played before as they are easier then most
teams.

My opinion

The Eagles are a defensive team. They have very good CB's and
Linebackers. I also think that their Qb is good. Donovan
McNabb is also here with a pretty good rating. You will like
this team a lot if you like defense. Offense is a little bit
of a different story.

My opinion

Kordell is here. He is good as ever. They also have the BUS.
Jerome Bettis is going to smash any defense in his way. I
think you will enjoy there strong offense. They also have
a good offensive line. Dawson is a very good center. He
will get an amazing amount of Key Run Blocks. The steelers
also have a good defense. The LB's amd DB's are not bad. The
DE and DT are not too good but are not worth not picking
this team. I would recommend this to all people of all skill
levels.

LaDanian who? He is not even in this game. No one cares about him
as he will not be any affect on any team. ONCE AGAIN, he was very
good the years AFTER this one. Sorry for the inconveniance. They
have Ryan Leaf who certainly dropped down in rating as expected.
Hope you like this team.

My opinion
----------

The best QB in the game is right here. You know, the retired Hall
of Famer. It is Steve Young. He will surpass the 4,000 yard mark
very easily. Terrel Owens is not good in this game on the other
hand. But, you have another hall of famer. Jerry Rice is on your
team in this game. It is highly recommended that you choose this
team if you are interested in good ratings to start of with.

My opinion

The seahawks are a very unfimiliar team. I do not know anyone who
like them. I never have played with them and probably never will.
If you want to play with them you better be an expert. They are
bad in almost all aspects. They do not even have Shaun Alexander.
Not really much else to say about them.

My opinion

Rams? What rams? These are the bad Rams. Sorry. Kurt Warner is in
this game. But that really does not matter. He has no rating as
he was good AFTER this season. I know it hurts for you St. Louis
fans. Marshall Faulk is one of the best RB in the game. He is
accompanied by Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt. Since this is Torry's
rookie year, he is rated really well with a whole lot of future
improvement. He is compared with David Boston.

My opinion

The Bucs are not to bad but not to good. Sean King is in this game! He is
just has a fake indentity. Alstott will give you an award every year. I
am serious. You cannot beat him in FB position. You will also have Warrick
Dunn for this game. That is a big plus as you really do not have him in
real life. Overall the are good with their superb defense.

My opinion
----------

The Titans are not bad. They have some speed and power. McNair will give you
a decent performance. The power is all coming from Eddie George. He will
strike through any defense to gain a good 1,500 yards. This is something
any offense would want. As always, the Titans have a good secondary. This
is an average team with both ups and downs.

My opinion
----------

Probably one of the worst teams in the game. They have Shane Matthews as
their starter QB. What does that show? Nothing to me. Also, this is the
year BEFORE Stephen Alexander became good. Thus, he is rated really bad
for this game. It doesn't really matter because this is the worst team
in the game. I would not recommend this team to anyone in all skill
levels.

This wraps up the teams' strengths and weaknesses. Enjoy the results of the
games!

1. Load your game if you don't like your teams performance that season.

2. Do the same if you don't want a certain person to retire.

3. If you want to get rid of someone from the league, sign them a large amount
of money but NO SIGNING BONUS. This will allow you to change their position
to make their rating bad and then you can release them for no money loss.
Pretty neat?

4. Do not judge a team at first. You can easily doctor it up with small little
cheats.

5. Trade draft picks after 4 games to get the most accurate picks.
