Re: Maximum Football 18 Impressions/Feedback/ Game Details

A couple bugs/issues I noticed today:

Not all players show up in the depth chart options - the drop-down menu for each position only gives me an option of 2 or three players with no ability to select players beyond that. It's left me without the ability to put in certain star players and it limits the creativity in deploying players out of position

The arrows for lining up a kick show up late in the play clock which limits the amount of time available for lining up a kick (I'm using the 20 second play clock).

Totally a superficial, aesthetic issue not related to gameplay but I noticed some blue sky when I was playing in the snow.

Suggestion for future games - retro stadiums...Would be great to play in the old Mosaic Stadium or Taylor Field

We fixed the depth chart issue and that will be in the first patch. We are looking into speeding up the animations to line up for a kick.

How do you execute a hot route in this game? I thought you did something after you pulled back on the L-Stick to show the OFF artwork.

What rule set? In Canadian rules, the punter or anybody else standing behind him can recover a loose ball on a punt.

Got a response from the poster, He says he was on US Pro rules.
This could just be an issue in the settings not carrying over to the actual game. I had the same issue with the play clock option in my 2nd video I posted.

Added to the list for us to investigate.

The results of a small and an accessible team that is full-time on the game! (3 people). Only one person made 2018 (Dave). So we should be able to get even more out of our 2018 content updates and 2019 game.

It also helps that we are diehard fans of sports games...

Thanks again for everybody's support. Looking forward to building this game with everybody.

I am hoping you guys find success with this game. Are there any plans to redo/upgrade animations and mo-caps? I know gameplay and AI is at top of list, but I think the animations may eventually hold this game back...thanks!

Yes, both are priorities for 2019. Both aren't too labor-intensive, it's more of how much capital do we want to spend in that area. We have our own mocap suit but we are looking into going to a larger studio to use a more advanced system.

However, before we do that, we're trying to find a pro football player that could record mocap for us in the Greater Toronto Area. Everybody can spread the word on that.

While I’m sure patching is a priority, if there’s time, I’d like to see an option to create a tournament bracket with 16, 8 or 4 teams of your choice.

This was in strawberryshortcake's spoiler:

(6) Contextual animation issue. The QB throwing animation is out of place when he throws to the right side of the field. The QB faces left and steps towards the left whenever he throws a pass to the right.

This is a still from a game I played:

This is FINALLY fixed. Seems like a simple fix but took us time to find the solution.

Will be included in the first patch.

Quick Roger (Twin Back-formation) might be a money play. I hit the RB coming out of the backfield for 74 and 63 yard TDs which was a very high percentage of my offensive output. (NORMAL difficulty).

A few things i have noticed on the American rules . Kickoffs and punt returns at times will display there was a run or pass play the clock will run when the play is over was watching a close game where Philadelphia had to use a timeout to stop the clock from running when they Shouldn't of had too .

Re: Maximum Football 18 Impressions/Feedback/ Game Details

Come to think of it my RB is a lot better than others in the game. Many of the running backs have 40-60 speed ratings.

Re: Maximum Football 18 Impressions/Feedback/ Game Details

Spear can I make a suggestion, for the stadiums when you create a team is it possibe to change that to the name of the team that uses it instead of it being numbered?
