    This is the type or game where I don’t care if I dominate, if stats are off (to an extent) it’s more of just try to put up large numbers stats etc and have fun. No way I could play Madden that way.

      Exactly. The retro graphics is a good reminder that allows you to ease up on some of the things you’re more a stickler for in a more traditional modern football game.

      I’ve played a bit so far and am itching to find time to play more. This game has some of that feeling of potential or untapped potential that I always got from APF. I’ve been in the midst of a gaming renaissance and this came at the right time.

      Not gonna lie though, I had a few bad drops by receivers (looked more like fumbles, he totally had control of the ball!) and I was sure I had to increase WR catching slider — WOOPS! But again, because the graphics are retro, you kind of accept these things way more easy then if you were playing another football game. The stakes are just lower and it’s really bumped the fun factor of the game up, to me at least.

        Yes and yes! I haven't actually seriously controlled the guys in a football game in a long time but this one is different. Excellent work by King Javo and Co.

          It's a good game, and I'd love to see more retro-style sports games. One thing I'd like is a more fleshed out player ratings system, maybe in Legend Bowl 2.

                Hmm bought and refunded on Steam not because I dislike it but because I could call the same play all the time and march up the field

                Now I know I could limit myself to not use it but all humans are tempted when there is a need

                Shotgun S
                Cross Cross
                Pass to the Y receiver as you drop back

                Not always big gains but 3 receipts get you a minimum first down to go again

                  Bought it on Steam but the game recognizes a nonexistent controller that tags along with my real controller. So I'm controlling two players at the same time whether I'm on offense or defense. My gaming CPU and controller are brand new and all other games work like a charm. I did an uninstall/reinstall and my controller has been updated.

                    Loving the actual football X's and O's of this game engine....despite the retro pixelated look of the players, they seem to demonstrate an advanced connection between their performance , their attributes/ratings and what transpires on the actual field.....which leads to a much more dynamic and organic gameplay experience then....dare I say, Madden Football!

                    Because of this, every game, every team you play against....actually feels different!. I would love for the development team to expand and further enhance this piece of the game as this is what really brings people back to play more!! I cant believe I am saying that I look forward to advancing my world and franchise more in this game then in Madden. As I feel much more connected to the results of my team.

                    Now having said how brilliant this game is.....I would love to see them go a little further with some things

                    A more direct correlation between simmed results and how your actual teams rosters and ratings and morale/confidence is would be an improvement as I think right now simming games seems more of a diceroll.

                    Secondly, As I really dig the cartooning/retro look and feel of the game, it would really be nice if the development team could either increase the resolution a bit or upscale/round out the graphics a bit more to maintain the cartoony retro look but also have it graphically more appealing. I also think this would go a long way to also help see a little more clearly what is going on in the trenches and stuff as sometimes things get a little muddle looking when they pile together.

                    Also in addition to smoother graphics, smoother text would go a long way to make reading stat pages, articles, ratings, player cards a little easier on the eyes if it was smoothed out a bit with nicer crisper fonts. (Maybe have a toggle that could go back to the orignal retro mode in full if people still prefered the blockiness look)

                    Finally, maybe some newer, smoother animations in the future that make the gameplay feel a bit more fluid ....yet without losing that nostalgic retro look and feel of the overall feel of the game.

                    Just some suggestions to take this even further.....Lovin it!!!! Madden look out!

                      loving the PC version but I have 2 quick questions....

                      How does the XBOX X version compare to PC version? Is there any reason to have both?


                      Also is there an actual DEMO on the XBOX X version.....this way I can just test for myself

                        Random question: do teams play noticeably different based on their squad? More run focused, pass focused, etc?


                        Edit: Found the run ratio setting when editing teams—hooray! Holy crap, the fun level on this game is 10/10.

                          I’m really enjoying the game play so far, I wish i5 looked a little better, but not overkill. If it looked like this Toy S5ory football on Disney and played like it does with all the editing you can do, it would be the perfect game.

                            I'm thinking of getting this game on Epic because of the two-controller problems I faced with the Steam download. Is Epic on the same level as Steam?
