About the Game
Put yourself in the front office with Front Office Football Nine.
Front Office Football is a text-based sports simulation. It's a game for those of us who love the numbers and strategies in sports.
In Front Office Football, you play the role of your favorite team's general manager. You determine your team's future through trading with opponents, negotiating contracts, bidding for free agents and discovering new talent through the annual amateur draft.
You can also play the role of the armchair coach, setting game plans, creating playbooks and depth charts. You can call every play yourself if you like.
You can determine ticket prices and submit stadium construction plans for public approval. You can move your team if the public won't properly support your franchise.
The original game, released in 1998, received an Editors' Choice award from Computer Gaming World and a 4 1/2-star review. It was nominated for numerous Sports Game of the Year awards. This is the Ninth full version of the game, released with rosters for the 2023, 2024 and 2025 seasons.
In October 2025, the game was updated to include the 2025 rosters as well as the new "dynamic kickoffs" that were put into use in 2024 and modified in 2025.

Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
Front Office Football Nine will update itself automatically. This will not affect saved games.
No change has been made to the application itself.
Three data files were edited:
- 2025_schedule.csv - a coding error in week 3 of the regular season has New Orleans playing a game that New York should play, instead.
- 2024_players.csv - a player was assigned a birthdate of 200, when he was actually born in 2000.
- 2025_players.csv - the same error for this player carried over to the 2025 data files.
This will not affect saved games in any way. The changes only apply to new universes.
Version 9.2 Update
This update adds the ability to start a new Front Office Football universe with the 2025 Player and Coaches files. The 2023 and 2024 files will still be available.

To use the new files, begin a new universe and select the 2025 Player files. They will only work with a new universe.
Please see the product documentation for other changes. Some of the data files were changed, and there are a few bug fixes.
