For anyone looking for an NCAA fix, I'm working on CFP rosters for Sunday Rivals.

Re: Sunday Rivals Updates (v.14) - Custom Teams

Hey yall, just released the v.15.0 Catching Update to Sunday Rivals!



What started out as a simple plan to improve a few older animations, turned into a full scale update with a completely rebuilt catching system, a bunch of new contextual catch animations, and a series of major improvements to the overall passing game!

A couple highlights worth mentioning are, catches now take into account ball location, direction, and player height for both offense and defensive players. This creates some great moments where a DB will jump to intercept a pass, flub the catch and have it fly off their hands and get snagged by the receiver, something that couldn't happen in previous versions of the game!

I've also decreased the overall speed of the game so it's a bit less hectic and made some tweaks that allow for more run after catch opportunities.

Full update notes are here:

If you get a chance to play it, let me know what you think!

Awesome. Will there be more customization added in the future like alternate team uniforms?

Ya, potentially! There's a bit of work to make that happen but it's come up enough that I know people would want to see it. Maybe after Early Access is complete...

Re: Sunday Rivals Updates v.16.0 Season Mode

Hey yall, really excited to announce that Season Mode has been added to Sunday Rivals! This video below gives a deep dive of everything offered in the current version:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn0qjqZGJnU



Pregame matchups for your team show per-position ratings breakdown and stat leaders at each spot


Every stat in the game is tracked and fully sortable per-team or in top-10 league leader lists


League wide rankings (perfect for custom college leagues) go along with regular standings


Play or sim every game on the schedule. It sims every snap, takes a minute or so to run through an entire week


Still a lot of work left to do, but future updates will integrate directly into the mode so it will continue to improve and grow as I get closer to releasing v1.0. Love to hear your thoughts on how it's going if you get a chance to play!

Looking great! Love the direction the game is taking. Really hoping career/franchise/dynasty mode will come at some point. Great work!!

Re: Sunday Rivals Update Adds Season Mode

This game would be my go to if it had a GM/Coach and franchise mode!

Excellent work and i will be lurking, if any future version adds a cpu/cpu mode along with franchise features this will be a must buy.

I still cannot believe that the "BEST" I can do in 2021 for an American Football Franchise Sim is Madden 07 PS/2.

Best of luck to you, I truly hope that game catches on and advances!

Thanks! I'm releasing a major update in the next few weeks that will add, among other things, both cpu vs cpu and coach vs cpu as gameplay options. It's probably not anywhere near the depth you're talking about since this is still an arcade game at heart, but I'm hoping it helps bridge the experience for folks like yourself.

More info to come!

Thanks for the quick reply. I watched a couple of gameplay videos and really dig the style. I would love to find a game that found a nice blend of franchise/GM and gameplay/visuals.

I am so tired of Madden's "presentation and MUT" first philosophy that I simply refuse to buy their products this generation.

If the game ever comes with even a modicum of franchise features such as multiple seasons, stats history, draft/FA (completely OK with a lack of financials as I know that is a beast to code) with what looks like already exceptionally fun gameplay I will definitely buy.

Heck, I may buy this just to support your work!

In any event, I truly wish you all the success, the more options out there for the growing legion of players that have been disenfranchised from EA the better.
