Maximum Football???

[KWhit]

The 2nd boxscore I looked at had one guy getting 7 sacks in a game.

The 3rd boxscore had a number of gems:

• One guy got 5 interceptions in the game (with no return yards)
• Another player had 6 sacks in the game.
• One team had 22 punts. The other had 12 punts.
• There were a total of 213 plays in the game.

Man, I just wish he was still floating around on those message boards.

Only like 105 days or so till the FBASTARTDATE

Dola -

The 4th boxscore had one player getting 9 INTs in the game. He's pretty good, I guess.


This is like shooting fish in a barrel.

[KWhit]

Is 14 INTs by a QB in a game too many?

Int:
 MON -- LOFTUS 1-0, 
 TOR -- HARDY 3-0, SMITH 3-0, 
STEINHAUER 4-0, WHEATON 4-0, 
Impressive run by JOESPH picked up nearly 15 yards.
Tackle made by KRALT.

So, uh... this JOSEPH guy, uh, what exactly happened there? And why are we getting a little bit of play-by-play right in the midst of the boxscore (which, once again, shows zero yards return on every single pick)?

Maximum Farkakte!

See I don't think you are looking at this game with a Maximum Mind. Look carefully. You can customize football verbage. The reason why you see JOSEPH in the middle of the box scores is because you can customize your output as well.


Interceptions means sacks
Run means Pass
Tackle means intereception
Impressive means horrible
picked up nearly means picked and returned

Translated data
Sacks:
 MON -- LOFTUS 1-0, 
 TOR -- HARDY 3-0, SMITH 3-0, 
STEINHAUER 4-0, WHEATON 4-0, 

Horrible pass by JOESPH, picked and returned for 15 yards.
Interception made by KRALT.

See...so interceptions are returned for yardage. And the defense is so good that it recorded 15 sacks without loss of yardage. That is freaking skill.

[KWhit]

Okay, you guys did catch that the guy's name was Joesph, right? You think that's an Easter Egg planted by Daivd as an homage to us?

No. Me either.

[QuikSand]

Wow, JOESPH, I even missed that. Good lord.

[WVUFAN]

Someone from one of the Civ4 threads mentioned this, so I thought this would be a good place to ask:

What is the next game Daivd should do, and how could he MAXIMUM-ize it?

Imagine "Daivd Winters presents: "Grand Theft Auto: MAXIMUM edition", or "MAXIMUM Civilization 4"?

Wow. Didn't catch it. My eyes must be automatically correcting it, just like when I see the name Daivd.

[KWhit]

That's funny. I figured that was one of the reasons you guys were pointing it out.

[kcchief19]

I thought I had figured out that the box score was simply printed backwards. If you go to the end of the box score, you'll KICKOFF NORMAL vs MAX COVER, with the 56-yard kick returned 12 yards to what I'm guessing is the 41-yard line. So far so good.

Nex play is FG NORMAL vs FG RET NORMAL. OK, not ideal to kick a 76-yard field goal on first down, but since the PBP tells us it's a 20-yard chip shot, why not? LOFTUS was called for a penalty, but the attempt by PANASUK was good for 3 point(s), so you don't want to take points off the board. Unless LOFTUS was on the kicking team's side.

Whichi is possible because the next play is QUAD L 789 OUTS vs STRONG RIGHT. So either the field goal was waived off by the penalty and we decided not to kick another field goal, or there was no kickoff and one of the teams took over at a random yard line.

There's nothing not gold about this.

[KWhit]

I'm convinced that the boxscore is actually written by trained monkeys. They do a pretty good job when they aren't flinging shit at each other.

My favorite player in the box scores thus far is L1OINTE -- yep, the guy spell his name with the number one.

Here's the question: if you put an infinite number of monkeys at an infinite number of computers, how long would it take before they could pound out the code for Maximum Football? Maybe this is the kind off Alpha Team Daivd should put together for developing the Fourth Release Beta.

Awesome!

I find it obscenely appropriate that the boxscores in M-F don't have the game's score in them.

Try looking in the folder labelled "boxsocre".

[grisha]

Did they really run a FG Block against your kickoff?

[grisha]

and why was your extra point try a risky attempt?

I loved football mogul. It was the only football game ever where making a profit was more fun than building your team.

I'm having a lot of trouble not signing up for the post-release beta.

[Passacaglia]

It seems like the problem with the game logs is rather simple -- it just tells you which play is run AFTER the play is over. And it skips a line. And then it doesn't skip a line when it goes to the next play.

First, I'll just post the box score. Unfortunately, it's not as good as those in the VCFL, but any takers on guessing the score (yeah, you would think that would be included in the box score)...

Week 4

Unfortunately the score of the Comets game was actually 10-0. Or maybe that's fortunately the score was 10-0, as reasonably inferred from the box summary.

Other games:

Houston 14
Washington 13

New York 14
Denver 3

Oakland 3
Pittsburgh 12

Tampa 0
Miami 7

Cleveland 28
Milwaukee 12

And the two good ones...
Philadelphia 3
Dallas 10 (OT)

Chicago 27
Boston 23 (OT)
Boston actually scored first in overtime, but evidently we weren't playing Golden Goal, so Chicago was able to win with a touchdown.

So, your Los Angeles Comets are 4-0 and alone atop the West. As a matter of fact, I declare that we have won the first quarter of the West. Keep that in mind as we near the play-offs.

Okay, I am just curious. Are you saying that it played out the whole overtime because that is the way it was programmed or was it because that is a bug. I mean...can you customize the game to play "Sudden Death" overtime? Or does it automatically play the whole overtime with no option to change? Or is this just another of those fascinating bugs? I can never tell with these things anymore.

I think this is a customizable feature. I'll have to check when I'm at home to be sure. What isn't good, however, is that I'm playing by the default American rules, which, though it isn't an NFL sim, should reflect a sudden death overtime.

[JeeberD]

Duh, digamma, college rules are American rules as well...

You'd also think it wouldn't include rogues then, but that evidently isn't the case, eh?

[Antmeister]

Exactly 4 months ago today, there was a legendary poster on the Maximum Football boards that was the king of unintentional comedy. In this thread, he posted a feature list of the game and gives some insightful comments about each feature to a game he never owned, yet he sure did LLLLLOOOOVVVEEE IT!:

http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=1082030

If anyone plans to use "LLLLLOOOOVVVEE IT!" as part of your FOFC venacular, then you must follow these strict rules:

• There are 5 L's, 4 O's, 3 V's 2 E's, a space, 1 I and 1T followed by an exclamation. Believe it or not, he followed this formula throughout the entire post and I was actually surprised by this.
• All the letters must be capitalized.
• It must immediately follow someone's post, a post you quoted, or you can even break down someone's post and use the phrase where you feel it is appropriate.

So in honor of GWsFBAStartOct292006, I will start using this in the future. Thank you for stopping by. And we conclude this segment of "A Day in Maximum Football History".

[Antmeister]

By the way, this thread also had a memorable post by J. Winter. She gave some very great advice on how to write a post.

Your asking a question that brings up a lot of hateful feelings . Radio Station - 88.1 FM/WRGP, Coaches and University: South Miami/Kendall, Fl. - F.lorida I.nternational U.niversity.

In short:

A. 88.1 FM/WRGP Management wanted me to move to scond-host because I dumped (twice) a part-time PBP Announcer & The Beacon Sports' Columnist who treated me like BLANK during my first-call-in show! His best friend was the sports director (position I turned down, no pay and long hours), went to bat for me. 88.1 FM/WRGP Management originally wanted me gone, even though I had done everything at the station (even temporally took over the show when they both left it out of no where and had to give it back, only to have them fall to the fore ground again) and as a paying for a course a semester radio, media broadcasting and teaching graduate! Plus, I think it had to do I never held my tongue when it came to F.lorida I.nternational U.niversity's corruption. So, I quit, and left them (no degrees any type of media broadcasting at F.I.U.) high and dry. One thing I am is a person who treats all people fairly and as they treated me.

B. F.lorida I.nternational U.niversity- Corrupt President (lived like king when the university kept cutting everything, except Football), even Corrupt and baised Miami Herald exposed them and Football Program (how I was the first - and only one at 88.1 FM/WRGP - to expose them).

C. F.lorida I.nternational U.niversity's FootBall Program - Literally stole money from semester payments to build the program (as I was getting my degrees) - causing the first and most serve cut-backs in everything (from the students' free services to teachers' salaries and pay periods), hired a terrible and unexperienced head coach (Don Strock), In fourth-season and already on probation, flunking-out athletes and refused until recently to play community rival and BEST PROGRAM EVER (even if it is also doing bad stuff) Univ. of Miami, Fl., until this coming season. Let alone, any other real power house in Florida or beyond. Oh, did I forget they play and recruit in the most competitive state for FootBall in The WORLD, most demanding (which I admire and KNOW THAT IT MAKES THE TEAMS SUCCESSFUL) TRUE FANS IN THE WORLD and F.I.U. is a commuter School! Just like all the other CFB programs and participants (including UM) I killed them on-air for it, no band waggon jumper, I warned of from the beginning and never want the program. The F.lorida I.nternational U.niversity's FootBall Program interviews I had was interesting to stay the least coaches lieing directly to my face and microphone, smearing me (trying to convince the listerns that I, a ex-coach and player , was using incorrect juargin and laughting at my questions). Almost the entire staff I was familiar with (met while coaching against them or watched play for my two-favorite teams: Miami Dolphins and Miami Hurricanes).


F.I.U. FOOTBALL PROGRAM WILL NEVER EVER ACCOMPLISH ANY KIND OF SUCCESS, AGAINST ANY TYPE OF REAL COMPETITION!! MARK MY WORDS-03/11/06!!

Oh man....I am almost always in tears everytime I read this stuff. As you and st.cronin pointed out, I should probably include BLANK and BLANKING BLANK in my FOFC venacular as well. This would go along well with my Fritzing.

If you couldn't tell from the summary, we were able to pull off a 24-14 win. We were actually down 14-3 at half time and 14-10 at the end of the third quarter, before rallying to get the win. We move to 5-0 on the season! Thumbs up to Zittel and Sandine for their receiving efforts. Zittel saved the day for us. However, I must give kudos to Pittsburgh for the most impressive stat of the day. They held us at bay for three quarters while only possessing the ball for six minutes the entire game. Managed to rack up better than 350 yards during that time--almost 60 yards a minute--and on 68 plays, more than 11 per minute. Awesome clock management, foe!

In other games:

Oakland scored more points than it had in its four previous games combined, but still lost to Chicago 21-16.

Miami fell from the ranks of the undefeateds, losing 17-13 at Boston.

Milwaukee beat up on Cleveland 27-6.

Ditto for Philly over Tampa, 26-3.

New York pounded San Francisco, 24-0.

Denver destroyed Washington, to remain one game behind your Comets in the West, 31-0. Good thing we don't have to play those guys.

Dallas edged Houston, 24-21.

So, after five weeks, the Comets are now the only undefeated team in the league. An impressive feat--maybe one to remember come play-off selection time.

68 plays in 11 minutes. Marv Levy would be so proud.

LOL!!! Good memory. Didn't they score 3 times in the last 2 minutes of a game once or was it more time than that?
