Maybe the coverage rights for the Benny Hill theme got too expensive?

Who else filled out the survey just to write "Beer Tents"?

I also told them if they wanted to really know what they need to fix, (besides beer tents..) they should visit this forum and ask around.

From the ashes of Maximum Football comes Varsity - a high school football game.
403 Forbidden I think the developers bought the MF game/property but are developing their new game from scratch. I've had their Discord channel in the background for some time but I only just noticed that they updated the logo to a big V which coincided with the announcement of this game. Personally I think that a high school football game is going to be a hard sell. It doesn't have the recognition factor of a pro or college game but it sounds like they have plans to extend their game if this takes off. |

Wellll ... one of the more amusing p.a. announcements I recall hearing in my life (which has a LOT of HSFB games in it) was a promo for pre-game happy hour at a local pub. Gotta love playing Catholic schools occasionally

Another phoenix version of MF. New developer so no sign of Daivd Winters.
Early video of it doesn't look half bad. |

Good one. I was imagining like it would be like that Seinfeld episode where Kenny give Jerry the Armani suit. Daivd would take the buyers out to dinner, only to order a soup, and then demand the buyers take him out the dinner again.

Sorry guys, the next version has been pushed to 2024.
Also, I didn't realize before but I'm signed up for the Maximum Football mailing list. Last edited by Ghost Econ : 08-29-2023 at 01:15 PM. |

reading the replies to the xitter post, and the more things change, the more they remain the same

The MS Store had Maximum Football '18 on a 90% off sale, so...
I can now claim to be a paid user of this memorable line of products. Opened it up but couldn't get very far without making the confused dog face. How did this become a multi-release product? Crazy. |

I've seen it was still around with new versions a few times, even backed by Doug Flutie I think? I figured in the several years since the good old days, it's probably moved up from laughably bad, but still never seemed worth considering.

Yeah, at this point the question of how it's continually getting made/financed/marketed is much more interesting than the game itself.

I spent $1.05 tax included. Probably not worth it.

The newest version of Maximum Football is actually pretty good if none of you have tried it. I mean it's not great, but it's not laughable anymore.

I just went back and reread the first 20 pages or so of that thread. What jumps out to me reading it now that I missed amidst all the hilarity is that I feel like Matrix Games had tremendous restraint in not just putting out the game. I mean, it's clear Daivd didn't care about quality and just wanted to get the game out there to start making money on it, and Matrix could have gone along with it, made some money, been done with the whole debacle, and when the game sucks, said "yeah that Daivd dude made a crappy game, sorry guys" but instead they actually wanted to make it a good game.

I just watched the video for the College Dynasty option in Maximum Football and, I have to say, it does look promising. I haven't been following it too closely but apparently you can run a pro universe together with a college one.
As someone who didn't get EA CF25 because I don't have a next gen console, this looks pretty decent for PC users. Everything You Need to Know About Dynasty in Maximum Football - YouTube |

Weirdly a chap I know is involved in the new version of the game - he's got a good track record generally, but doesn't do 'simulations' normally ... so I'm intruiged to see what you chaps think to it ... I'd expect decent production values (and hopefully a fairly stable product) at the very least. |

I got a notification that Maximum Football has a free to play demo right now. Has anyone jumped in and can share an opinion?

At a quick glance, it's early access right now but the game will technically be free to play. Certain features are only released under paid DLC. You can do some things with a dynasty but not all (limited saved games? limited customization?). There's a $20 DLC for unlimited dynasty. There's a large online component (that I don't care to get into). As of right now, this is a college game but pro in the same universe is on it's way. Dunno if that would be a paid DLC.
Someone correct me where I'm wrong here. This model is a little unnerving to an old-timer like me but a free to play demo/base game can't bite you too bad. |
