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

Awesome, thank you. Can't wait till the 25th.

Day 1 purchase for me. Have followed this title and have purchased 18 & 19. But 20 clearly looks like a major leap. Disappointed about the option plays, but your communication makes sense and is much appreciated. Keep up the great work. Thank you! Looking forward to the game trailer!

Purchased 19. Will probably purchase on the 25th as well. I was a little underwhelmed with 19, but 20 does look like a good step forward. So I'm willing to buy if there seems to be good progress.

Re: Doug Flutie's Maximum Football 2020 Development Thread

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.

How much would you need to get this project to your highest expectations? Probably more of a private discussion but I’d be interested.

In 2019, kick returner had a one second pause after catching ball and start upfield. Any chance this got adjusted? I like how 2020 is progressing and will continue to support Canuck Play. Keep up the hard work.

We'd need a seven-figure budget.

Not sure what you mean by this. But if you take a look at our Instagram we did post some videos of the kick return, so you can see how it looks this year.

Hopefully you guys get a lot of support. Keep it up.

Re: Doug Flutie's Maximum Football 2020 Development Thread

any chance this game a PES or FIFA style Broadcast CAM that can be adjusted like zoom , tilt and stuff so users can customize to their preference?

Also, Im hoping the game has a more organic and open feel to the game that isnt as predictable as the Madden gameplay. I hope the physics and ratings are more prioritized to drive the results rather than being locked into scripted animation hell....if you know what Im talkin about

Can't wait to dive into this game Friday. One question I have about the game that I haven't found the answer to is:

Is there a cap on the number of seasons you can play in dynasty mode, and if so, what is that number?

Madden is 30 and NCAA was 60. Hoping for either no cap or the 60 of the NCAA.

50 seasons

50 seasons

Appreciate the response. 50 is better than 30.

I'm not familiar with coding or development, so forgive me if this is a dumb question, but in general, why do sports games have a cap? Is there a technical reason for it?

PS4 has a 15 MB save limit which limits what we can do within Dynasty. After every season we save historical stats that you can view in the Statistics screen.

Re: Doug Flutie's Maximum Football 2020 Development Thread

50 years is plenty. I mean you figure, if you were a coach and started coaching at 25 in real life, you'd be 75 by the time 50 years passed anyway, which would be beyond time to retire. So you could make that a feature in the game later, similar to nba 2k20 how the more you accomplish, the greater your chances of getting in the hall of fame, or have a little newspaper article for your retirement that you retired to your home in Alabama or something. Just an idea for future years.

Looking forward to friday to try out the new game.
