It was little known, but JFK was a big supporter of indie game developers.

I normally enjoy other poems, odes etc... even directed at me. But, well this was pretty weak. So weak, I won't even bother countering with a follow up. For the record, I believe Erik is doing a great job. In fact out of everyone, he is probably doing the best job. His job is like being the Iraqi information minister when America was invading. Remember those clips from 2003. As American tanks are rolling into Bagdad. The iragi minister stating, you have nothing to fear we will defeat the americans any day now.... I don't envy Eric's position at all... < Message edited by druez -- 2/27/2006 9:44:44 PM > (in reply to zowee77)

Looking at the videos again, it's curious how the center seems to be blocking the MLB 4 yards up from the LOS on every running play. He did it in the earlier video, then again in all 3 running plays on the more recent one - even on the final play, where the right guard pulls and he should be picking up the DT that's left unblocked.

This is like noting that the china patterns on the dishes used in the dining room of the Titanic slightly clashed with the pattern used in the drawing room.1




1Which is not at all to say that I don't think that you have really good insights into the game of football. It's just that right now, the developer literally can't spell his own name. LITERALLY CAN'T SPELL HIS OWN NAME. The nuances of interior line play may be several orders of magnitude too much for Maximum Football at this stage. Maybe it will be in MF2.

Can someone do a quick summery on this thread? I mean, I've been gone for nine days and this thread goes from a potentially good thread to possibly the thread of the decade.

Oh, and does this mean war? Someone is claiming we're god's gift. (Of course we are, but that has got to be Dolamite or something)http://www.blindsideblitz.com/forums...ad.php?t=14407

I see the likes of Dean Houston, Hornsmaniac and Wig over at the Maxim Football Forum, is the world coming to an end or something?

[Deattribution]

Not only God's gift to earth but...

I used to be involved in the FOFC 4 or 5 years ago but they believe they are God's gift to the green Earth so I avoid them. When I posted that their comments really had no value they tried to pile on me as well. Sadly, they're probably a bunch of 20 somethings that have never produced a damn thing in their lives.

Nice post Deft

[cartman]

There needs to be more than 10 posts for it to be considered a war. JeeberD makes more than 10 posts between the time he hits the snooze button on the alarm clock and brushes his teeth.

Not sure what that means for his oral hygeine though.

Shit, he's right.

Oh wait, I had that Thong Thread on the OOTP Boards, so HAHA.

[1stAnd10]

Sorry I don't have a link to a website yet. I've been doing game development for about 8 months now so going by DW's standard I've still got 4 years and 4 months before I need to post a link.

And I agree I don't have a limerick. Matter of fact I'm not even Irish.

How many threads about Africa and South America won't have posts or views tonight while these posts in this thread get put up?

Get some variety, morons.

[Raiders Army]

Just a general perusal of the forums leads me to believe that this game is a version of FPS Football Pro '98 with all of the utilities installed. I wonder if this guy is waiting until the utilities become freeware and then "packages" them into Maximum Football, labeling it a new game?

Nice to see you on the board!

Wow...there are some real winners over on the Max football boards.

There's a couple guys that still don't understand the down/yardage bug. My wife, who knows absolutely nothing about football understood it when I showed it to her (after she asked what I was laughing about on the computer).

[Toddzilla]

OK, I had quite a bit of fun seeking out more of the logos in MF, so Idid some more digging and found these...I still don't see what the problem is...

It has been mentioned that several posters over at the Matrix board seem to have a high regard for the Idiot's Guide to Football. Could explain a few things.

Matrix Games signs exclusive CFL deal

Associated Press
Updated: 9:09 p.m. ET Feb. 28, 2006

NEW YORK - Matrix Games shares surged to an all-time high in Tuesday trading, a day after the top Canadian video-game developer Daivd Winter said he had scored exclusive licensing deals with the Canadian Football League and its players' association.

The agreements give Matrix Games, publisher of the soon-to-be-release "Maximum Football" and "Maximum Football 2," exclusive rights to use CFL teams, stadiums and players in its football video games from 2005 until 2009, hopefully in time for "Maximum Football's" release.

More importantly, the pact lets Daivd Winters break away from other players in the intensely competitive indie-American/Canadian Football game arena. That includes one of the company's chief rivals, solecismic Software, whose "Front Office Football" title, a shameful text sim lacking any of the jaw-dropping 3d graphics Maximum Football promises to deliver.

In recent trading, shares of Matrix Games jumped 0.0001 percent, or $0.03, to $0.18 on nearly 33.7% of its average volume, shooting past a record high of $0.17.

"This contract should allow Daivd Winters to eliminate competition in the pro Canadian football category, hold premium pricing next year and raise prices for the next indie-Canadian football game cycle," Pacific Crest Securities analyst Evan Wilson wrote in a research note.

Although Matrix Games did not disclose financial terms of its deal, Wilson said it is "likely" that Matrix has doubled its royalty payment to the CFL from an estimated 0.1 percent of net revenue, or around enough money to purchase a small cheeseburger meal for the CFL board of directors.

Daivd Winters could not be reached for an interview, but faxed in a written response announcing that he was "veyr happi wit who this deel developd. There has long bean a massif whole in the gayming sectar for Canadian football, and we feal we shuld slot nicely in this nishe market."

[1stAnd10]

When I first saw that post about the bug I thought it was just the lack of intelligence of the posters over there but as I started watching the movie I was just without words, I mean you develop a game for 5 years and one of the most basic things about the game that you're making doesn't work?

I can't wait to watch this game reboot my PC when I try to print out stats. Start the dishwasher when I setup my playoff teams. It's gonna be fun for the whole family.

You're absolutely right, I'll do better next time. Or maybe the time after that. Or the time after. Hell, eventually I'll do better.

You know I haven't pissed my pants sice I was about 2 1/2 years old.
Reading this post almost ended that 44 year streak
That's some funny shit.

He's gonna quit & give up. I can sense it.

[tarcone]

If he quits and gives up, i'm thinking he quits and gives up ever producing a game again. Wifey may not allow that, since its been her life the last 3 years
