NEW GAME DIALOG The New Game Dialog lets you set all the parameters of your game of Football Mogul before you begin play. Mogul Name Type your name in this field. This is the name by which your accomplishments will be recorded in the Football Mogul Hall of Fame. Team City Choose the city of the team that you would like to play from among the list. Because New York has two teams, it is listed twice. If you wish to play a New York team, be sure you have selected the team you wish to play. Team Name This field contains the name of the team you are controlling. You can personalize your game by editing this name. Difficulty This controls the intelligence of your computer opponents during the game of Football Mogul. On the lowest and highest difficulty levels, the game engine and financial model are also altered somewhat. On the 'Fan' level, you actually have an easier time making money than the computer-controlled opponents. But on the 'Mogul' level, the cards are stacked against you. The levels of difficulty in Football Mogul are:
Shuffle Players This randomly distributes all the players in the league. If you've gotten tired of starting with the standard 1998 team rosters, you may wish to choose this option and see how you do with a random selection of players to start with. Equalize Cities A team's success in Football Mogul depends largely on the resources of it's home city. Checking 'Equalize Cities' causes all cities to be given the same population and financial stats. This will put all teams on a level playing field as far as monetary resources. When running a league, you can combine this feature with a draft (using Roster File) or with Shuffle Players to create a more balanced game. Team financial stats are equalized only if you choose Equalize Cities AND Shuffle players. Simulation Mode Part of what makes Football Mogul enjoyable is the degree of unpredictability each time you play. One young player might develop into a superstar the first time you play, and be mediocre the next. Simulation Mode removes much of this randomness from Football Mogul. Players will mature and age along pretty much the same career path every time you play in Simulation Mode. This is useful if you wish to use Football Mogul as a tool to predict the outcome of a football season or a player's career. Or if you just prefer a more predictable version of the game.
Note on Advanced Game Options Because these options alter the balance of Football Mogul, your Mogul Rating will be invalid if you choose any of them. You can still be entered in the Mogul Hall Of Fame, but your performance will be shown in gray (instead of the white text used for valid Mogul Hall Of Fame entries).
