The computer file was way too large to move between computers, except for CD-Roms and no one opens CD-Roms unless they know more. So I am thinking of doing science project type of thing. I have the materials.

I broke down and spent $40 on a game last night. Of course it was MLB 06: The Show and not Maximum Football.

Why does David rub me the wrong way? I am not quite sure. I really want to see how this game turns out when all the patches are done, but it seems he has his mind set on how his believes the game should be built. He seems to dislike when someone mentions "NFL play" as illustrated in these two threads.
http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=1082348 http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=1080798 Since he designed the game to be played with American, Canadian and indoor rules, I don't quite understand why he has a problem with implementing these items in the game. And this framerate issue is bothering me even more. Why should it affect the height and distance of a field goal? http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=1082449

Hmm.. I don't know.. Probably because he has absolutely no people skills whatsoever? I'm sorry but, for me, American Football Rules is synonymous with what the NFL does. He just seems to have this extreme beef against the NFL for whatever reason. It's the equivalent of designing a racing game and featuring Open Wheel racing and Stock Car racing with only road courses. Someone says, what about oval tracks and then responding.. "Well.. thats NASCAR specific" *shrug* Oh well.

He keeps saying "define NFL rules" and making statements that the game doesn't understand NFL specific rules, there is a just a generic rule set out there. Then he goes into detail how the game follows the CFL rules for events. That doesn't make much sense, it appears he's contradicting himself. If the game was supposed to model CFL, Indoor, and NFL, he seems to be putting the kibosh on accurately modeling the NFL.

He mentioned in a previous interview that he would get frustrated as a CFL fan trying to find a game that played the football that he wanted to play. So I think that there might be just some general anti-NFL bias there. This may be his way of thumbing his nose at the millions of people whose version of football kept pushing his off the front page of the sports section as he was growing up. One could argue, of course, that those millions of people represent millions of potential customers. But I don't think that Daid cares. And that's one thing that I really respect about him--he has not tried to sell this as a game for all people. He has been quick to pull out the "This game may not be for you" card. First to the text simmers and now to NFL fans. I respect it when a company is willing to be honest about the product that it is providing--both in strength and limitation. And one cannot say that WinterValley has not been honest about what the game is not going to be able to do in version 1. (other than the normal puffery about "Maximum Customizability," which is totally expected. Getting upset because the game has not, in fact, reached the theoretical limits of customization is like getting upset because your fabric softener was not, in fact, as fresh as a spring rain. One has to expect tag lines to be more memorable and enticing than true.) I've poked enough fun at MF here. But I want to give them props on something that I think that they have done well. |

Daivd's disdain for the NFL (and likely for most things American) is very, very obvious, from his interviews to his message board postings. It appears to be deeply ingrained.

Interesting post, but I don't think honesty is one of his best traits. When it is adverstised as having rules for American, Canadian and indoor rules, one could expect that it will encompass all and not a few things. If you have been following him over the years, you would realize that he has promised a number of release dates that never happened. Then he took off for a year to make a career mode. He didn't mention what his version of career mode had until someone called him out on it (He wasn't forthcoming with this information and that still falls into the category of dishonesty). With all that said, the reason why I am bothered he doesn't want to consider the input that others are asking of him that purchased the game. Even if you read further into that thread, the rule goes for all levels of American football, so it is not strictly an NFL rule. If you are going to advertise American football for your game, you better have the American rules. I was just as upset when I found out TPF didn't have onside kicks and 2-pt conversions. It made no sense to me and Arlie changed this with a patch.

If they wanted to sell a CFL game fine, but this is supposed to be a game which handles American, Canadian and indoor, where it clearly doesn't. The Rouge is an option and the rules are mostly Canadian based. It's a little like marketing a soccer game and claiming it handles all form of soccer, yet it's just an MLS sim with the option to turn off shootouts, with the answer to every question questioning missing league is "it's a generic sim and knows nothing about Serie A." Making a CFL game is one thing, subsidizing your CFL game by pretending it's something else is disgraceful. |

That's what he makes it sound like, but that is far from the truth. When I found out about this game years ago, his own website shown that it can play American, Candian and Indoor football. In fact, it is still there. If you even check out his forum, he has screenshots dating back to a few years.

Well......that was certainly idiotic. Makes you wonder how well Daivd knows the rules of the game. Even if he is a CFL whore, you would think since American football is so popular...and a large percentage of his game's fanbase would probably follow the American game rather than the CFL, he would at least familiarize himself with the rules, especially in something as important as LOS placement. |

It's apparent from Daivid's posts that the American rules for Maiximum Football were simply CFL rules on a 100 yard field with 11 players and 4 downs to go 10 yards. He said as much in his post.

Was eating some popcorn tonight, so naturally I came back here...
David's Comment in the thread Antmeister Linked: "At the moment, the game is just given a selection of rules to enforce and it really has no concept of what are NFL/CFL/XFL/Indoor/etc... 'rules'." David's Maximum Football Website: "Use Indoor, outdoor, Canadian, or American rules, or any combination thereof." Also, if I'm not mistaken, Canadian amateur football spots at the 20-yard line any missed field goal attempt returned by the defense out of the endzone but short of the 20-yard line.
