I assume that TheorySpark will release a 2012 version of President Forever + Primaries. What would you like to see in it?

There are quite a lot of things i'd like to see.

I'd like to see more polls in the game, such as the favorable rating of each candidate, the President's Approval Rating, and exit polls on election day.

I'd also like to see a more realistic election night. States are called early if a candidate is about 6-7% ahead. It would be more realistic if they were called based on exit polls, and a message came up saying "MSNBC has called Ohio", "Fox News has called Florida" etc. I would also like to see a recoutn option if a state has a margin of 0.5% or less.

The Vice Presidential Candidates should have issue positions too.

It would also be cool if you could play as the President after being elected, and make all the descisions the President has to make.

That, would be simply amazing. It would take them a lot of time, and it would take up a lot of space. They would probably make old users pay to get updated.

I'd like to see some improved graphics. Also, the ability to split Maine and Nebraska's electoral votes. I think it also needs a better withdrawal system in the primaries, 9 times out of 10 Hillary takes it straight to the convention in '08 while having nowhere near a majority of the delegates. It'd also be quite good if you could control what you say in interviews.

What would really be cool is to Senate, House and Governor races shown too. It would take too much for them to create it all, but it would be cool to see final results to those, just showing if there was a change in leadership after the election if you win or lose big.

It would also be good if the Senatorial, Gubernatorial and House Scenarios were decided by the popular vote.

This would be a FANTASTIC update to the president forever + primaries system.  I've always wished the P4E folks would make more realistic news stories, almost as if they're creating a narrative about how the election is going (and including job approval/favorability numbers is a big part of that).

Does anyone have any idea typically when the P4E folks release the new presidential election version? When was the President Forever + Primaries 2008 released, for example?

P4E 2008 was released in October 2006, I think.

Personally, I hate the way you can't fly from state to state each day in the new version as you could in President Forever 2004.

What I want...

1) Ability to travel the way they do... more than one state per day

2) Recount option

3) Demographics breakdown - race, religion, age etc etc

4) have a "fundraise to pay down campaign debt" option during the endorsement phase & taking loans out during primary season.

5) I also want more detailed polling

Endorsers should provide funds, and candidates should be allowed to self-fund (which would bring down some kind of "score" metric).

That is awesome....can't wait for them to release the details on Pres Forever 2012....I'm really hoping that they shake things up a little with an awesome new feature.

I hope they make campaigns forever for 2012 for free to go with P4E 2012. That would be nice

It will be interesting to see how the Primaries will work on the new game engine (which I assume will be used). Will, for example, the Iowa Caucus have it's own election night?

Anthony has said that there will be "new features" included in the game.
