Maximum Football???

[Buccaneer]

I feel sorry for Matrix Games (of whom I have purchased games from previously). They probably didn't realize what they signed up for.

Name all the Trolls over there.

BaboonHeart
Vulcan
Dean Houston
CFL 7 Fan
Hornsmaniac

What others?

I honestly can't tell if CFL7Fan is a troll or not. If he's a troll he's the funniest. If he's serious he's the stupidest shit I've ever seen in my life.

[DaddyTorgo]

Wow. I can't believe all the UIC I missed today here and at the Matrix boards. Damm. My gut just burst from the 45 minutes I spent catching up on everything.

DeanHouston had me rolling on the floor I gotta say. Well played HA.

Ditto that. I've got a bunch of stuff from them, and have always liked them and the niche games they bring to market.

Gets me wondering what kind of business arrangements they have with developers, and how much a poor-selling title would hurt their business model. I'd hate to see them take a big hit if this game tanks.

Until Dean Houston arrived, I thought CFL7Fan was HA.

i just read some threads over there.

how fucking lame. Do guys really get a hard on trolling like that?

There once was a sim from Wintervalley
Missed deadlines were too numerous to tally
The gold master is missing
Media Relations dismissing
All the naysayers to Davy Jones's Galley

Excellent point, can Maximum Football be customized into an adult fantasy game? Some people enjoy naked fantastical creatures(playing football).

Yes, Maximum Holding Pattern has me feeling both prophetic and jocular.

[Easy Mac]

So I'm wondering, should I break out my P2-400, 128 mb, 4 gb, vanta TNT video box for this game? It was my mom's computer from around 1998 (or when this game was started), and its been sitting by the front door for the better part of 2 months waiting to be thrown away. Something died on it, but I really don't want to fuck up a real computer by trying this game.

So should I just spend the weekend trying to find whats wrong with the old computer, be the lone FOFC sole to buy the game next decade when it comes out, and let you guys know about it? I just looked at the specs and it seems i qualify!!!!

I think that is actually one of the included modes alongside NFL, CFL, ALCOA, AFLCIO, UAW (go local 171!), and Malibu Stacy mode which is only available for pre-orders.

I haven't been over there, but to waste one's time and get your rocks off by creating fake account after fake account to troll someone else's board is kind of lame.

[IwasHere]

A nude patch, that would be so awesome.

Throw in some extra random Nude chearleader shots after TDs and you may be able to move a copy or two.

Agree, i love their wargames and what they do for free with SPWAW. Also looking forward for the new TOAW version, i really hope that Matrix won't be always remembered because the MF fiasco. I wonder how they felt into this trap, they should have kept just releasing wargames as they are the best doing it.

You guys DO realize you've totally scuttled any minute chance you may have had of ever getting advance notice of a Solecismic release.

You can't compare this situation with a standard delay in the release of a game. Several people here and on the MF board have tried to do that. You just CAN'T compare them. If this weeks issues were the first sign of delay in the release, I would be all over saying people are being insane, jerks, overreacting, etc... but this is on top of several YEAR long delays...

I think you owe Jim an apology for even hinting at associating Solecismic with the MF debauchle.

Copied from another thread, but this week's delays alone have been pretty funny, and make a very good case for not giving a definitive release time until it is truly known:

Those of you who need sleep or have jobs in the morning, I would suggest that you go to bed and check in the morning for more info. We will post something official on the timing in the forum later tonight, sorry I don't have more specific info at the moment. Keep cool until the official post please. [/qoute]

To boil it down to even more basics...

• a release in February is certain, mid-February is likely
• We are planning for a Monday night {2/20} release at present
• So, the release date will be Tuesday, February 21st
• We are planning for Thursday {2/23} now
• I think it's likely that we will play it safe and give ourselves the weekend to make sure things are solid if tomorrow's build looks like "the one"

Will the "certain" February release happen? Stay tuned, fellas.

I don't owe Jim nothin' except $29.95 for TCY2.

A flexible game that we'd like
Would cause all our attention to spike
Now it's stuck in a rut
All we hear is the "hut"
But will Maximum ever say "hike"?

Well, agreed. But I would be agreeing with folks like Bucc who find it silly that people are going this crazy because I'd say the guy made a mistake in being premature on setting dates this week.

But. This week is not isolated.

I see your one-verse cheesy limerick, and rasie you a second verse:

There once was a programmer named Dave.
Lots of attention to his game he gave.
Five years he did work.
But then acted like a jerk.
Yet some about game still did rave.

His wife tried to make him look better
She posted a convoluted letter
She wanted to defend
But in the bitter end
She wasn't just all wet, but even wetter

[Bonegavel]

You can make the game do what you please
Have the players put spikes on their knees
100 men to a team
Make the ball burn with steam
In the end it was all just a tease

[Ben E Lou]

Some would say that this game is a wreck
After wifey's poor five year long trek
I'm afraid I'll look silly
Playing some team from Philly
With a logo they stole from G Tech

I think we have a winner.

[wade moore]

And that is possibly the best t-shirt ever.

Maxi Football deserves a big cheer
After years on the mend, it is here
Folks at Matrix relax
Erik won't get the axe
Wait! Just one thing to add and ... oh, dear...

[JPhillips]

Winter, cold and harsh
Games melt like late falling snow
Wife must sleep alone

You, sir, are on a roll.

[QuikSand]

This game ought to be great from the start
Flexibility sets it apart
The AI will amaze
And the bar we will raise
Once they finish up all the box art


edit : this one was very hard to steer away from becoming vulgar

[wade moore]

This would be much more fun if there was a fan boy here so that we could have a "lymmeric battle" of sorts...

[albionmoonlight]

Once again, QS effortlessly raises the bar.

[Anthony]

wow, QS is a limmerick master.

[wade moore]

This game ought to be great from the start

Here, I'll help the fan boys...

You sir think you're so smart
I bet its like roses when you fart
When in truth you can't code "Hello World"
So you best lay of my girl
Because you sir are a tart

[FrogMan]

Allow me to be the first to point out correctly that this thread is now second only to the reference thread in views.

enjoy!

[Toddzilla]

All promises of release have thus failed
On and on FOFC has doth railed
As final dates delayed
And Benny Hill played
Like decorum, our hopes, they have sailed.

[KWhit]

For the fan boyz:

David Winter's a god among men.
And the CFL will rise again!
When MF is released
It'll sell a million at least!
Too bad we'll be dead by then.

[SFL Cat]

Maximum Football keeps saying its coming out;
But delays are making fans pout;
They say it went gold;
but once again the release date folds; ... um ....

...ok I got nothin.

[John Galt]

Maxi-pad football is gaming crack
It even supports my Pumpy face pack
It answers my prayers
To teleport players
I can't wait to lead my all-midget attack

[Huckleberry]

this thread is nirvana for some
with rants and sharp barbs, more to come
it remains quite a sight
that even when right
mob justice still looks kind of dumb

druez and SlapBone are jerks
They come in and throw a wrench in the works
If it weren't for them
We'd be happy again
And SkyDog's makes our precious hurts

It's a dead heat between this and Quik's "hut" one.

[Anthony]

ok, we need a limmerick-off between QS and John Galt.
