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


    Sounds like that time they “hoped” to have Big Ant.

      Yeah, gotta give props. This isn't an insignificant development.

        So about 13 months from 'we've got a developer and publisher - if you keep donating' and 5 months after 'got money - but please keep donating, we're releasing in 2020' was widely reported all they seem to be doing is getting former players to Tweet about them. The latest is Montee Ball, who is [a title that doesn't mean anything] and will be playable in the game.

          Wait isn't this suppose to be a college based game? That was their scheme to get funding after all. Montee Ball played for Wisconsin Badgers not University of Bumsville Dragons.



          Technically these guys should not be playable since it is suppose to be college and fake. Are they trying to have a story mode with guys that are out of the league?



          They are trying too hard just not possible to fit all these things in the 1st game with people that have no experience running it.

            First game generic, second game licensed, is the stated intention they've been pitching for a while.

            They're beholden to what they can afford / a developer is willing to create, though.

              You can’t see how this is a selling point? Generic teams or not people get excited about using real players. So they want to get some real names to draw in more purchases.

              Also, considering their whole premise is complete customization, you could easily have Ball playing for Wisconsin.

              It’s actually a good move and would be happy to see more former college stars signed on. I still remain skeptical that the game will ever make it to production though

                  Nothing really new lately other than they're going to put up a members only website when they can't even create enough content to put out a monthly newsletter.

                    Check out one of their latest tweets:


                    LMAO what a joke. IMV and Rockstar should NEVER be mentioned in the same sentence. Sure, it took Rockstar 8 years to make Red Dead 2, but during that time period they released 2 other open-world games (L.A. Noire and GTA V). Plus they had a prior history of developing quality games before Red Dead 2 (obviously).

                    I can bet that in year 2 of development that Red Dead 2 had AT THE VERY LEAST a single line of code written. That is something that IMV can't say. Rockstar never begged its customers for money either.

                    We are excited to develop
                    Oh, is that so? What is stopping you then? The truth is, you need someone else to develop the game, since you aren't capable. IMV will NEVER be Rockstar.

                      This is so true. Just seems like a couple of guys who wanted to bring back NCAA football and then just tried to outsource all the work, while maintaining the idea of it being under their umbrella. Even some of the screens of the UI they released looked very similar to NCAA.

                      Just seems like a couple of guys who meant well but didn't really have any technical skills to do this own their own and realized it was a much bigger task than they thought.

                        This is really common in business, we call them "idea guys". My company has a flagship product that is well know in the industry we are in. Every week we get emails from people telling us they have the next great version of our product and they want us to sign an NDA so they can license it to us to actually do all the engineering work to actually make it....basically all of the real work. We throw these in the trash because in the end any great idea with none of the work done is simply not worth it. The truth is most the ideas we have already had but after working through the logistics it didn't really make sense.

                        I have held for a long time now, these guys bring absolutely nothing to a developer. They have no intellectual property, they have no real brand, they have no licensing....they just have an idea. If the idea was good and feasible one of the developers would simply do it on there own as the idea itself can't be protected by any sort of patent.

                        If they really wanted to be successful they would have went out and learned how to do something on their own. There have been plenty of indie's that started by a guy working on his own and eventually scaling. These guys were so uninformed on how things worked they thought they could just get someone else to do it. The fact they have actually roped all these people into believing in this is actually a perfect example of the naivety of how the business world works so many people live with.

                          This is exactly why I think it will never come to production. On top of this, their idea isn't even a novel/new idea. Ever since NCAA was ended the idea of a fully customization generic version has been bounced around. They're just the first to try to rope people in and push it, if you can even call it a push.


                          Real dedication to an idea is Axis and Maximum football. Very small development teams putting in the work and pumping out a product. Maximum developers (I think a total of 3-4 guys) not only put out a game, but have been releasing huge patches to improve it along the way (notably patching in a logo creator, ability to add logos to helmets that were previously blank, etc). That's how you get into the gaming world, in my mind. I bought Maximum and will buy Axis at minimum just to support them.
