There is a huge need for some RPG elements built into a sports game to keep things moving forward. I should be able to build a program with boosters and rich alumni that can help recruit top tier talent. Choose a coach or an AD with benefits that affect gameplay. If you have School spirited AD verses a more financial minded AD, School Impact: If your school is supportive of your football program or not so much can affect money therefore, you may not be able to recruit that big name star. The more you win, the more lose, the more these things are affected. Just a few ideas, I have many more... :-D
    That's a good way to become the No Mans Sky of sports games though, too.

    The important promises they make will be after they find a developer, anything prior can be largely forgotten until after that happens and they discuss the game they've agreed to have made for them.

    They currently aren't even sending out the newsletters that are a thing promised to paid supporters because there's nothing to talk about. https://twitter.com/IMVGAMING/status...394474496?s=19

      The sketchy part about the sudden pausing of sending out newsletters is that it took an investor asking them about the newsletter to get them to say something about it. Crazy lol.

        Yeah, and before that it was simply 'TBD'. It wasn't a decision they made proactively, it was reactive to being prodded about it over weeks.

        Kinda strains credulity they couldn't find anything to talk about at all, from fodder about the team, fundraising efforts and further education or updates on the process the last few months since announcing they were going into massive debt to finance the game.

        Poking around, between December and April they removed this excerpt from their site:
        We are proud to announce that Big Ant Studios has agreed to co-develop and publish Gridiron Champions. They have informed us that the total cost of development will be $5 Million Dollars. They are willing to to fund 50% of the development cost and we can begin production as soon as we have raised our half of the development cost ($2.5 Million Dollars).

          All the things you have pointed out are why I don't think this game will ever come to fruition. It feels like a side project, that the take to when they have time. Actually, it doesn't even feel like that. It feels like they are dabbling with the idea of a new hobby, got some stuff related to it, and realized it was far more difficult than they thought.

          When I was 10 and REALLY wanted a drum set. I got my drum set...no idea how to play them. I took a few tutorial videos, realized "wow this is really tougher than I thought," and then my drums sat and gathered dust for 5 years until I sold them, to a drummer who wanted a set for his son.

          That's how I see this. They thought it sounded really cool, so they dove in a bit, and went "oh crap this is really hard." So now it sits, gathering dust, in the hopes a big boy who knows what he is doing will buy it someday.

          I hope I'm wrong, I'd love a new college game. Hell, I'd even love a community college game at this point lol

            I have held from the start that this has 0% chance of happening. Nothing over the last 6-12 months has changed that belief. Two guys with no experience, no intellectual property, and no funding decided they are a video game studio, what could go wrong? It actually sounds like more of a plot to a bad Netflix movie than a business plan.

              They would have better luck pitching this as a show to Netflix. Sounds like great TV. A cross between Silicon Valley and Seinfield (the show about nothing).

                Re: Gridiron Champions Has a Release Date, College Football Returns in 2020

                I put a lot of thought into making an upper tier (as they have described on their website) donation to their kickstarter/initial campaigns just in hopes of seeing something getting the ball rolling on a refreshing take on football as opposed to the annual Madden releases. As of now, it looks like some shady stuff going on as far as communication, or lack thereof, between the folks at IMV and insiders/general public. Not to mention the fact that the bulk of their attention appears to be on marketing through getting lesser known pro-athletes to take pictures with them and maybe donate a little extra money to the cause.

                The longer the process goes on, and the more delays continue to happen, the more I lose hope in the validity of this project as well as its likeliness to actually come out.

                  Someone on Twitter thought this game was going to be released in 2019 and IMV responded with this.

                  @IMVGAMING

                  There is no chance the game is coming out in 2019. We have no intentions of rushing a game out. We are in negations with multiple studios & haven’t started development yet. Once a deal is in place, we will make a follow up announcement of a more accurate estimated release date

                  They have been asking people for money as donations, here we are and they still do not have a developer? Their response to someone who thought this game was coming out in 2019 was they won't rush the game. How can you rush a game out when you haven't even started development yet?

                  Whoever runs their Twitter was trying to answer back on the negative responses and they kept sticking to the point of not rushing games out.

                      No. The idea is fictional schools and conferences, but full customization. So ideally, you can go create all the teams and conferences your heart desires.

                        That's what they've been suggesting, remains to be seen what they can carve out in a statement of work with a developer.

                                It does say they are bringing him in as an advisory board member and they hope to retain his services once they finalize a development deal. They would like to keep him on with the development cycle if it gets that far obviously.

                                It's a pretty big get for them in this stage. Hopefully it pays off.
