New features and bug fixes:
v2.2
･ PlayMaker Football is now PowerPC Native. It ships as a fat application with 68K and PowerPC versions combined.
･ A new Full Game Replay feature records and plays back entire games. You access this feature in the Game Options dialog when setting up opponents as the Game Film check box. When checked, the following game is recorded in a Game Film file which can then be loaded and replayed by anyone in the future with the proper version of the PlayMaker Football. This feature supports all combinations of Computer and Human coach. It also works with the multi-game feature to generate multiple game films.
･ Preferences are now remembered. Your favorite settings in the Options dialogs are saved in whatever condition they're in when you quit the game. Additionally, the main startup sound can be disabled by turning off game and practice field sound.
･ There are more command-key equivalents which are easier to use.
･ The new Keyware Registration system simplifies the registration process. What were formerly the full game, the demo and the installer are now one application.
･ Instant Replay really has been fixed so that it always works and no longer alters the outcome of a play that is replayed.
･ The Kick-off receiving team will appropriately accept offsides penalties.
･ The speed control has been changed to give a more constant game speed in all conditions (including scrolling). This also fixes the problem where game action would unexpectedly slow down, especially at the end of a play.
･ Linebackers now recognize a Running Back that is lined-up as an offensive lineman.
･ Scan-passing accuracy has been improved.
･ Passes that were intended as "throw aways" out of bounds are no longer thrown short. This eliminates the inordinate number of interceptions that occurred at the sidelines.
v2.1.4
･ Compatibility with the 68000 series of Macintosh was fixed. PlayMaker Football is now fully compatible with all Macintosh computers.
･ The bug causing problems in some situations with the point after attempts has been fixed.
v2.1.3
･ The dreaded ﾒMagic Puntﾓ bug has been fixed. Previously in some instances a punt was considered to be a live ball which the punting team could recover. Now this has been adjusted for the ball to be downed on contact with any player from the punting team.
v2.1.2
･ The bug that caused the game to lose sound then freeze up has been fixed.
･ The bug that caused the game to freeze during the huddle when there was a play called with an odd defensive formation has been fixed.
･ The transcript numbering system has been adjusted to help keep track of them numerically when viewing by Name.
･ Drag and drop functionality has been added to PMFB. If you drop a team file on PMFB, it will open to the Team Draft; if you drop a playbook or a playbook and a team file, PMFB will open to the Chalkboard Editor; if you drop two teams and two playbooks, PMFB will open to the New Game Setup dialog box.
v2.1.1
･ The NFL '94 rules have been added. This includes the 2-point TRY, the kickoff from the 30, the placement of the ball at the spot of a field goal try AFTER a missed field goal outside of the 20, -AND- an update to the clock management. The clock now stops throughout the game in ALL cases where the clock stops in the NFL. Fixed the play clock from 45 seconds to 40 seconds.
･ The Command-I bug was eliminated.
･ The manual based copy protection has been removed.
･ The problem with the artificial intelligence in the last play of the half and game has been fixed.
･ The problem with defenders running out of bounds has been fixed. Defensive backs will shadow receivers if they run out of bounds, and linebackers will stop pursuit at the sideline.
･ The AI for kickoffs, safety kickoffs and try's has been altered. The defense also now has the option of defending against when the kicker or the quarterback is on the field for the try.
･ Removed the dialog box that queried the use of teams with Non-Standard point totals.
･ Teams break from the huddle sooner to make it possible to run realistic wide formations without the imminent threat of delay of game penalties.
･ Coaches have been given the option of turning the play clock off. This allows an unlimited amount of time to decide which plays to run in a given situation.
･ Speed and discipline now play more of a factor in magnifying the inherent abilities of both offensive and defensive linemen. This allows the linemen to play a bigger factor in the game than before.
･ The invisible QB bug has been eliminated.
･ The bug which caused a crash when trying to save a playbook without a team being open has been eliminated.
･ Custom icons now appear in the New Game Dialog box. To get your custom icons to appear in the New Game Dialog box, you must open the Team Files and/or Playbooks in ResEdit and save the custom icon to the following IDs. For home team helmet: 21436; For away team helmet: 12579; For home team playbook: 20873; and For away team playbook: 767. Because you may wish to have different helmet or playbook colors for home and away, that option has been included.
