Re: Maximum Football 18 Impressions/Feedback/ Game Details

Please consider releasing any codes for PS4 and XB1 to everyone, not just those who have won podcast contests, OK?

The game is available on the PS and Xbox NA stores.

See above for my answers in bold.

Thanks for the response...re: player skills, I was more curious to know if players had noticed that good players perform noticeably better than mediocre ones. One of my frustrations with Madden has been that it’s sometimes hard to tell the difference between elite qbs and bad ones.

We need to be able to adjust the volume levels on commentary/sound effects/crowd noise. The game just plays too quietly, I almost feel like I'm playing it on mute.

Or is the sound fine for everyone else and it's just me having an issue?

I’ve noticed it’s inconsistent...some noises are muffled like PA announcer sometimes, the crowd comes in suddenly and startlingly, all of which are interrupted by “GETCHYA PEANUTS” that screams over everything. It would be nice if we could adjust the different noises to at least make for smoother listening.

I agree with you guys that we can make some improvements on the sound. We're meeting today and I'll see where that fits on the priority list though. There are a number of gameplay elements we want to iron out first.

If you go in and edit the player's ratings, you will see the difference. Out the box, there isn't too much disparity as ratings and teams are evenly matched.

As long as someone is listening to feedback and you feel like they actually care about improving the game? I can be very patient waiting on fixes and new features like the Logo Editor to roll in.

I have yet to see any game breaking bugs, but there are some presentation issues, graphical enhancements, and game play adjustments needed. The thing is, there will ALWAYS be some game play issues as no football game has ever got things JUST RIGHT. That's no excuse for not trying to make things perfect, but people need to be realistic in their expectations.

I was taught about a software development pyramid back in the day, where you have three sides: TIME, MONEY, and FEATURES. You can have two of the three, but NEVER all three. So, if you want more FEATURES and done on TIME? It will cost more MONEY. If you want to save MONEY and release on TIME? You have to cut back on FEATURES, and so on.

It is almost insane to me that Maximum Football is essentially a one man show. It is easy to complain about things, but try to have some appreciation for the work that goes into making a football videogame. End rant.

Agree-good effort for limited resources.

I being somewhat redundant but critical to me is a practice mode that includes instant replay, the ability to play defense and the ability to set the defense or offense you're up against.

The instant replay needs a fast forward mode and should be available on scoring plays, and change of possession.

After each play, the defensive or offensive play call of the CPU should be shown.

Players should have an OVERALL rating. Teams should have a defensive and offensive rating.

Re: Maximum Football 18 Impressions/Feedback/ Game Details

My first edit of a player's rating.



As far as I can see all the teams have the same mix of rated O-Line players. R.Borsa was one of the two non-starters on the Comets' O-Line. The significant rating bump did not automatically promote him to starter on the depth chart but that's no big deal.

Is endurance a factor? Is there fatigue in this game?

The instant replay on scoring plays is a bit of a Unity thing and leaving the "stage" of the game. We're seeing if we can get this added in a future update.

I had the "normal speed" mode for a replay in our dev notes today and is something that we might be able to add into one of the content updates.

I made notes on your Practice mode and ratings as well.

We are aiming to have a hotfix patch available at the end of the month, which will fix little bugs, freezes, etc. We are starting development on it tomorrow.

Oh and if anybody knows a pro football player that wants to do mocap in the Greater Toronto Area. Let me know!

It's not Madden / can't be Madden has a 30 year head start. It is well worth it's price point $17. Fun not perfect but well worth playing. So far I like it just fine. Only played about three games but it was just fine. Don't expect a Madden and you won't be let down. It's deep for a year one game.

Thank you for your support. We have content updates coming to even further improve the game.

Re: Maximum Football 18 Impressions/Feedback/ Game Details

I've yet to see a replay available on a TD.



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:







Prior to that on the same play:

We spoke about this today too. We are trying to find a fix on the QB looking in the other direction while he throws the other way.
