Happened to see this football game entering early access mode tomorrow...never heard of it before and seems a bit ambitious. But if it really does what it says, might be worth checking out. No idea on cost at the moment and looking at the screenshots seem a little rough, but who knows.
Pure Football 2018 on Steam
ABOUT THIS GAME
Pure Football 2018 is a fully featured American Football Simulator that draws inspiration from the classic football games of the 2000's.
Get back to Pure Football
Get away from the animation based modern football games where linebackers have 10 foot verticals and corners have eyes in the back of their head and get back to real football. Pure Football boasts the most realistic football experience you will find today.
Get back to a Franchise mode with personality
In Pure Football, General Managers and Coaches have personalities and tendencies. Different coaches run different schemes which need different players. General Managers trying to fill those needs have different philosophies on how to do so. Are they aggressive in free agency? Do they reach in the draft? Are they willing to trade away their future for a chance to win the championship now? Watch as your league evolves as Coaches and General Managers get hired and fired around the league.
Get Back to Football Roots
Pure Football 2018 is set in the age of leather helmets and classic uniforms. Dive into the 1930's styled office with music from another time. Enjoy the classic feel with modern game play.
