No, he's specifically ignoring repeated requests to provide helpful information. He's been asked to provide screenshots of stats 127.3495 times and acts as if the question has never been asked. If he limited himself to "I like MF. For me the fun of playing the game outweighs the defeciencies in the engine," nobody would care. When he claims the game is sound statistically but refuses to provide proof, he sets himself up as an easy target.

It is amazing the similarity in styles of Marauders trumpeting Max-FB and Mizzou B-Ball Fan's defense of the PS3. Can I get an IP check?

Look, if I'm a buddy of Daivd's I look at Maximum Hilarity and say "Damn, that's an impressive amount of work for a single programmer to undertake - I admire your dedication and perserverance". As a customer though, I look at it and say "What's the point of this product? Unless my main interest in a football game is customized uniforms, this game does nothing that other products on the market don't do a lot better, and for something other than a very discounted price to reflect the (lack of) quality of the game". |

Seriously, why would anyone come into this thread and try to trumpet a game and yet provide us with nothing. His purpose in coming here was to refute what was being said about the game, yet that may not be all the motives. I still don't understand why he would choose this thread to trumpet the game when he could have easily started a new thread. It's almost as if he wants to thread to thrive. This thread has almost seen a certain death a couple of times and both times, he comes out of the blue when the thread had been inactive for a while. If he really wanted to be helpful, he would be providing screenshots, information about a demo being released, elaborate on how to work the new features in the game, etc. Not happening.

HEY MARUADERS,
Why do you keep ignoring the requests for screenshots showing realistic stats. We've been asking for months. A few months ago you said you would post them, you never did. You come on here and respond to questions, yet you completely ignore the requests for screenshots. How come? |

Saw this thread slowing down over the last couple of days, so let's try to get some wind in the sails.

And seriously the biggest issue with the new version of Maximum Football 2.0 is that End Zone art is not showing up.
http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=1572994 It has the most views and posts. I mean who cares if your team actually lines up inside the end zone (might be fixed now) but if the end zone art does not show up, you are going to hear about it. |

If I create a new utility that will convert FOF teams to Maximum Football rosters for the purpose of multiplayer game shots, can I call it "Maximator" to keep in line with my utility naming scheme, or do I have to stick with the default name "Maximizer"?

It seems as though every troubleshooting involves video cards. It's funny, when I play Civ4, Might and Magic, and more games of the sort, there is no problem whatsoever. And that was on and old machine. So how can a game that has so little statistical generation and AI require so much juice? Is the art and rendering that special? Why when people are asking about their QBs throwing 30 straight incompletions does frame rate enter in? Odd.

The thing that always makes me chuckle is when they write, "Good game! This is the best thing since FBPro98, but.....", and then they list a number of mind boggling issues like:
"My players are doing the YMCA around a live ball. I prefer the Cabbage Patch or Running Man but don't know how to change dance sequences." "My Defensive End just threw a 225 yard bomb to the punter for 3 touchdowns all in one spectular play! Maybe this is something you can look into because I am pretty sure that should have counted for 5 safties." "There's this 3D fan that bum rushes the field everytime I rename one of the players to Tom Brady. I think he's from some kind of street in the city of Cronin? Is there a Canadian city named Cronin? If not, I would like to customize the city details of that fan to represent an American city since I have created a Professional Pee Wee league." "The players seem to be a different race below the waist then they are above the waist. This is an unacceptable level of customization. I want to be able to change the race for each body part so that it color coordinates with my Bengals-Panthers mish mash uniforms."

I believe I read that Daivd has updated the game to run using one of the 2 latest versions of DirectX (either 9 or 10), and if some of his customers are using older video cards that don't support that standard, or are simply underpowered given the nature of the game, I can easily see why video card issues would be the main focus of troubleshooting. When I was with MS doing sports games prior to the Xbox, dealing with all the different possible video cards for our PC sports games was a nightmare. |

Reading this thread reminded me of a thread from some years ago:
http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/...ad.php?t=10090 I'm not too up to date on gridiron text sims and know little about what has happened over the last 4 years. FOF has always been a little too dry for me. Have we seen anything closer to the game discussed in that thread yet? If so can you point me in the right direction?
