Option plays?

Re: Doug Flutie's Maximum Football 2020 Development Thread

Will be interesting. I guess you could design a play maybe if there's a toss button?

Option plays?

The lack of a response to this answers my question. It's not football, let alone college football without option plays.

Maybe they'll add it later. Even pro football I think is starting to use option plays now.

We don't have all the animations for the option - nor do we have the AI built for it yet.

Like I said before, we still plan on adding it. We've been actively trying to hire an animator locally in our studio for over a year. We have some raw animation files for the option pitch, they would have to be cleaned up and analyzed. I don't think we have an animation for a triple-option or an option read - we'd have to go back to the motion capture studio for that.

Spear, I'm sure I speak for many when saying thank you for your communication with us. Yes option plays are a large part of college football and glad to see you are working on this aspect.
It takes time and effort every day I'm sure with the small team you have.

Most importantly, you are and have been honest with us on what is achieveable and in these times of developers like EA that lie and insult on a consistent basis, Canuck Play is a refreshing change and that is why I support you and buy the game every year even if it is missing some things at this time. You are showing steady consistent improvement and adding real features every year.

Thanks - I'm giving you guys the logical explanations on why they aren't in the game. It's not what everybody wants to hear but it's the facts of life for us.

If you look at one of our old Instagram saved stories, you'll see the motion capture session and I think you may see a pitch or two in there that we have captured.

But capturing it is half the battle, those files then take hours of cleanup and implementation into the game. Then we need to add in AI on when the CPU should be pitching versus carrying.

We've been able to grow our team but animator is still an outstanding position for us. We really need them local, it can't be a remote position. We've hired two contract positions for animators in the past year and both haven't worked out. It's not work that a student or intern can do as we're publishing games on PS4 and Xbox. Also, not every developer/animator wants to work on a football game either, if they have that skill set, they often have the pick of their litter of positions in the gaming industry. Sports games are often last on their list.

The good thing is you guys seem to be listening and are trying hard. Hopefully as folks keep supporting you the budget and ability to attract the talent needed will follow.

Can I edit players during a season, if so how much can I edit?

Yes you can - you can edit the player name, position, number, height, weight, skin color, equipment (facemask, visor, helmet), player model, ratings, etc.
