    What’s crazy is the 2018 version was built by one guy (every single aspect). This is also a full time gig, it’s not a side project for us. Now that the team is 3 people as of release, we should be even more efficient going forward.

    The biggest thing you guys can do for us is spread the word. We are completely self funded and everything that is made goes back into the game.

    The extra $17 we get in another copy sold, could go towards renting a motion capture studio for a day instead of us using an older mo cap suit that we have. It could go towards a Unity environment or lighting person that could greatly enhance visuals. These are all little things that could be game changers.

    We are on a shoestring budget, but man if we get an extra $10K in sales than we expected that can go a long way to improving the game.

    I can’t wait to get the patch out to you guys because it has tightened things up. The list of things to improve will always be long but we are chopping down the list every day.

    This is why I picked the game up. I know you've been a part of this community for a long time and I know you want to make a good product. I wanted to support you 3 and encourage you to keep pushing this further. It's hard for me to get a chance to play with my niece and nephew living with us now, but at least I know I've bought it and can look forward to some fun once I can get the TV to myself

      Even further tweaks to the physics engine. Now if a RB is facing off with a DB, they are more likely to run through them versus a DT/DE that meets them in the backfield. All the changes to the physics engine have really helped. Continuing to test and iron out as much as we can.

      We plan on submitting the patch for Sony/Microsoft approval on Monday. Will try to live stream a beta version of the patch this week. Will let you guys know what night that is.

            Lol I think I am one of the few that has become a STAN over this game . You guys are definitely on the right path . This game shows glimpses of greatness . It’s very reminiscent of the nfl 2k series & the backbreaker game . Two of my favorite franchises. I’m definitely invested in what you guys have to offer . With steadily improvements, this game can REALLY be something in the next 2-3 years . Just thought
            I’d ask a few favors of you guys


            Could you maybe give us a little more equipment freedom ?
            Ex : the ability to choose what hand a player’s glove is on . Or the suggestion for a towel (I see one in the startup menu on the quarterback but not in game .


            The spin move is also rather slow for the user and ineffective. If you guys could tweak it just as a bit that’d be great . I also feel like we don’t see enough broken tackles either .

            It’d be greatly appreciated if you guys could take a look at those things & add or tweak a few things ! I love how responsive you guys are too !

              We will be adding customization options as we go.

              As for the break tackles, you'll see more of that in the patch because of the physics engine has created more organic tackles.

                WOW , I’m shocked at you guys dedication to feedback . Did not expect that response so quickly . Lol I feel as if I have a duty now , you’ve done your part to respond now I’ve gotta do mine to give more feedback .
                I remember you asking about gameplay sliders , which is a great idea & can add to a lot of things .

                Here are a few categories I think are pretty much necessary. You guys can decide that or not though .



                QB Accuracy
                Pass Blocking
                WR Catching

                Run Blocking
                Fumbles

                Pass Reaction
                Interceptions
                Pass Coverage

                Tackling
                Penalties





                Hope I could’ve been of some service! ( could you guys add a very hard difficulty in the future also.) thanks !

                    @Spears.

                    My questions posted to that reddit forum was never addressed. Resiged up for reddit just for that. Didn’t get a chance to compile a video of the following immediate issues.

                    1.Did you guys managed to look at the separation physics on long, successful big passing plays (receiver versus defensive backs). The ability for the receiver to create space is overdone; it appears once the receiver pushes off on the DB, there is a 5 to 10 yard separation (give or take), leading to massive long completed passes. Note: I do like the interaction, but just seems a tad overpowered, leading to long passing plays.

                    2. Receivers route for American gameplay hugs too close to the sidelines. Cue up any passing play art, and a lot of the routes near the sidelines are only about 1 feet away from the sideline.

                      Sorry, I must have missed the post in Reddit. It's our least used platform compared to OS, Twitter, Facebook and Discord.

                      1. I've seen this too and I think the hard difficulty combined with the new physics engine will tighten this up.

                      2. I have this on our list to update (and to bring the slot receivers to the line of scrimmage). It's a bit of a playbook issue since some of the plays are carried over from the Canadian playbook so that's taking their player position. I was hoping the playbook editor would win out in the Twitter poll that was posted before release but the logo editor won.

                          Okay thanks, that was a known bug causing season to freeze and is fixed in the patch.
