The time from snap to kick is less than 1.5 seconds. What was the alignment that led to that spread in just over one second?

I am somewhat amazed/impressed that dude is STILL plugging away at this, apparently progressing and succeeding in the industry, while picking up celebrity endorsements for a design that seems to result in the exact same wonky, unrealized gameplay, across multiple platforms, for close to 15 years.

I think they've been doing a much better job at being reasonable about what they can and are delivering, but this quote still rubs me the wrong way.

It was seeing a console maximum football game at my local gamestop that led me back here after all these years. Once I got over my shock that maximum football was still a thing, I did not summon the courage to buy it.

Doug Flutie's Maximum Football 2020 Hits the Field Today

Imagine going back to 2005 and telling the board that Maximum Football would be getting a new release in 2020.

Or that Doug Flutie would still be around.

Or that Donald Trump would be president.

Heads would explode.

It really is a fascinating case, I wish I had all the inside info. I just went to watch a video of someone playing the 2019 game to make sure it still sucked, and yup still sucks. It is also obviously significantly better, but still clearly not yet up to the standard of 'acceptable'.

That's just not realistic; there's no way someone could run in a straight line immediately after doing all those circles.

I can't even tell what's going on in that clip, like the circles seem to perfect to be run by a human, so is that the AI attempting to take a handoff?

I'm working on a dizziness mod. If I can get it to work it will also apply if too many trip are made to the beer tent.

Holy shit the last play where the QB is tackled, 3 or 4 guys touch him while he's down, and he gets back up and runs for a TD. That's the best thing I've ever seen.

EDIT: Play starts ~14:55

So I’ve got to wonder how many copies they sell a year and how much they pay Flutie to hawk this thing? The number of people who buy a copy two years running has to be almost zero right?

I was assuming the exact opposite, some kind of sunk costs Stockholm Syndrome drives the same couple hundred people to buy it every year.
