Re: Doug Flutie's Maximum Football 2019 Development Thread

So all of this will be implemented in 19?

I purchased 18, but haven't had any time to dive into it yet.

This is all sounding awesome. Thanks!!

Yes all this will be implemented in the new game. Doug Flutie's Maximum Football 2019 - releasing in September.

Please say that the problem with creating/importing more than 10 logos will be fixed. Kinda defeats the purpose of a team editor when you have 130 teams in the game but can only edit 10. A sharing feature would be awesome as well. I would think that since other games have skirted any legal issues with sharing content, you could as well. Sounds like you are on to a good start!

We are reworking the way custom logos are saved from 2018, so there will be more than 10.

We have been explicitly told by the licensing agencies with the NCAA that offering a roster share feature is not permissible.

Quick update to confirm that we now have both 27 and 130 team Dynasty sizes with customizable teams. The actual number of teams that can be customized will depend on licensing - stay tuned.

Also started the process of generating schedules for interlocking & non-interlocking division play.

Sweet man. Sounds good. Definitely going to support this game going forward.

Re: Doug Flutie's Maximum Football 2019 Development Thread

will we be able to control multiple teams in dynasty

Re: Doug Flutie's Maximum Football 2019 Development Thread

Let me say this - if this game gives you the ability to have a dynasty with 127 teams and customize ALL of them, it will be an automatic INSTANT buy for me. I love building fictional teams. Some kind of team builder suite letting me build 127 teams would be incredible.

We have confirmed that you can do this. We will have a 130 team dynasty mode (130 teams in FBS next year).

If we get NCAA team licenses, then you won't be able to edit those teams. But I think everybody would be okay with that...

Re: Doug Flutie's Maximum Football 2019 Development Thread

We will have a bunch of small announcements over the next few weeks. First one should be public on Tuesday.

Also - for those that aren't aware and would like to support us further. We have a Patreon here: www.patreon.com/maxfootballgame

Our Patrons also get exclusive updates on what's in our pipeline.

Thanks for the reply and for engaging with the online community.

Assuming you don’t get them, what features will be available via team editing? Can we edit location, city, team name, rosters, uniforms, logos, etc?

Also, I have always said that I think a lot of people miss Madden 05 - Madden 08 / NCAA 05 - NCAA 07 on the Xbox / PS2. Those games were really balanced gameplay and for a lot of little things right like blocking and ball trajectory.

If you can get graphics and animations to a comparable level to those titles, and you give a feature rich dynasty mode, people will line up in droves for this game.

I think the independent games are probably more akin to Madden 99 - Madden 02 right now, but given time I think they can be special games.

Is there anything else you can share about your dynasty mode? I am very happy to engage on the topic further. For example, I’m interested in your recruiting framework, potential league customization (divisions, conferences, playoff format, etc) and other features high on your list. I was a sucker for the player discipline system in the NCAA titles. An injury system is also important.

Good luck with everything!

You can edit all of the above. Which is also available in Maximum Football 2018.

Agreed. Our only Developer, David Winter also worked at EA during that era. We share the same belief on the PS2/Xbox era. Love how the NCAA games were deeper on those consoles (suspensions, budgets, etc).

We take everything in stride because it's only Dave that develops. Last week we posted about how we were able to confirm 130 team structure and a 27 team structure (in case somebody wants to play Canadian College).

From there, we started on generating schedules for a conference and non-conference games. We are using the entire FBS framework as inspiration.

We haven't started Recruiting. But we took 9 years worth of real world recruit data and will start developing a recruit generation algorithm first. From there we will start building out a recruiting feature and see what works best. Ideally would like to have a pitch system like the PS2 era. I don't want to overpromise as you always hit snags in any development, so it's best to check in this thread or follow us on Twitter to see all the updates.

We are also working with artists in Montreal to redo player models at the moment. On Thursday and Friday of this week we will be at the motion capture studio (all new animations!). Dynasty development will continue to ramp up in February.

There won’t be stadium customization but you can assign the in-game stadiums to whatever team you like.
