Doug Flutie’s Maximum Football 2019 Review: Back to the Drawing Board

[TheBleedingRed21]

The ending kind of ruined the entire review for me..

Quote:

That’s not to say the game couldn’t compete with Madden and Axis down the line...

It is almost laughable to say it is not able to compete with Axis Football this year when absolutely no improvements were made gameplay wise this year for Axis and it has SEVERAL issues.

To even bring Madden up in this review is just silly.

I do appreciate the effort but not quite there yet.

I agree with this and hopefully next year we can see some improvement

Yikes! I have not yet played DFMF, but the statement that Axis FB has better gameplay is truly frightening. I think Axis erred deeply in spending precious assets on adding coaching, practicing and facilities management. Playing Axis is not fun. I hope DFMF declines the call of other posters here wanting to set ticket prices or have full coaching staffs. To me, these things are window dressing I would ignore. If you can’t have fun playing out the games, then FOF will be the better option. I hope gameplay gets a lot of love for next year.

I was one that said if they did add those in a update and get it out the way it would be easier to focus on just gameplay. But they do need those features in dynasty mode or Its really not much of a dynasty.

We’ll have to agree to disagree. I only play franchise mode in any sports game, and I have zero interest in setting prices (ticket, concession, etc), in full coaching staffs and in practices. I don’t think a franchise mode needs any of those. But, we all have different views and desires, so I certainly respect that you would enjoy these features. Ideally, DFMF will improve enough next year to make us all happy!

Hope so cuz I would hate to see EA. or 2K taking over everything.

I actually like the player models. Sure they need more detail but they’re not bad. I like the scale of the players though. Everyone seems to stand upright whereas in Madden, players are always bent at the knees. I just think the models are pretty good on Maximum Football.

"If DFMF wants to be taken seriously and be legit competition for Madden"

They don't. You're comparing Amazon to your local bookstore. "I know they're not Amazon but they should be able to deliver to my door within an hour." Your metric is off.

If you can, compare the previous iteration to this one and then bring everything together holistically.
