Front Office Football 2004 was the first version that allowed for multi-player capability, resulting in the creation of several on-line leagues.

The game was formally released to the public on Friday October 27, 2006 at a price of $39.99 US dollars. The new version saw numerous improvements designed for multiplayer leagues, a new system of rating players, and other refinements. On September 20, 2007, Jim Gindin released a free update to the game that included 2007 rosters and schedules, and numerous game enhancements.
