I've given up. Last I checked the game was out of stock and it will be a cold day in Hell when they have teams up for order. What a shame. What was the NFL thinking?

I know...but I would just be patient. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt and thinking positive. They may actually be doing research to improve their product. I just feel that we are fortunate to have a company invest in our hobby...with the resources ($) to maybe produce some of the items we have been craving (biger boards that run consistently, figures, bases etc at an affordable price. Remember, they sold out of product during the Xmas Season. Most companies are satisfied by meeting their sales expectations for the Holiday seasons. I'm sure all manufactures of EF/MF know that there are only a few die hards, and that most are excited to receive a game board Xmas morning...after that, the game is seldom touched again, that is why you can find so many boards averaging 30yrs. old that are link new on ebay, and at garage sales. Most are not willing to put in the time to learn how to tweak, they just expect the players to play football out of the bag. That is all we can expect from an 8 yr. old (the targeted age for EF/MF sales). We should consider ourselves lucky that Miggle, & Excalibur actually takes an interest in what the hobbiest has to say, and actually tries to please us...a small segment of who they actually sell to.

wow... great post. when i first bought this game (viberating football borad) i didnt know about tweaking and stuff, so i figured thats why you dont see many peopl playing today. then i found this website. and i now know how to tweak( but am still learning, kind of) and customize (i love doing that) and soon will make my first team (2008 colts team)

a question: i have never used any board other than the viberating football board, so how does it stach up compared to the others?

maybe you're right but explain me why Excalibur take out the liscencing from Miggle which was established as a good company of MF/EF product and they didn't give us the merchandise??


If they don't deliver or doesn't want to give the product which they we're promised to us, please give it the liscencing to Miggle. Anyway, we don't have any choices that to wait and see

Default who needs em.........

I am sure everyone has an opinion, but I was NOT impressed with Excalibur's products. I believe the members of the MFCA can do better

MFCA Inc.?

Default Who needs em?

I DO!
Always looking for something new, and appreciate their efforts.
Here I go with my rant!
Boilable Bases...who needs em...I do. Miggle Bullet Bases...who needs em...I do. We always talk about what is positive, and what is considered negative on this board. I think that every one should be able to express his/her view or opinion. The thing that erks me the most about coaches on this board is that they like to ban what they can't compete with, or whine and cry...putting pressure on companies (Miggle) until they stop producing products that some coaches like, but the majority of coaches dislike. I find it very irritating that all if the products that have been discontinued sell for astronimical amounts on ebay. Why is that? So many coaches who post on this board have quotes from famous people attached to their posts as a signature. Maybe we should adhere, and apply those quotes to our own actions. We have to grow up and let go of that mentality of "It's my ball, if you don't do it my way, I will take my ball and go home". I don't think this hobby has or will have a place in the main stream until we stop being so critical of different sytles of play, weights, your way -V- my way, and manufacturers...expecially new manufacturers.
