    Doug Flutie's Maximum Football 2020 Development Thread

    We had a similar thread last year and wanted to start a new one for 2020.

    Things confirmed so far:

    - Unity Partnership – Unique partnership with Unity to enhance the core infrastructure of the game, featuring improvements to the following areas: game performance (framerate), lighting system, player movement, object avoidance, and custom receiver animations.

    - Dynasty Mode 2.0 – Player awards, conference championships, player transfers, new Bowl games, updated depth chart screen, faster simulation engine, diverse playcalling (giving each team a new identity), enhanced accuracy in recruit generation (including height and weight), detailed recruit commitments and player suspensions, and much more!

    - More Customization – College teams added to Play Now, new 32 team league added to Play Now and Season Mode, brand new customization hub, easy color picker based upon team’s primary and secondary colors, and additional stock logos.

    - Play Designer – Full play designer for offense and defense. Implement standard playbook strategies with receiver route trees, read progressions, play action, run types, man and zone coverage, blitz packages, QB spy, and even set player motion.

    - Custom Controls – Map your own buttons! Customize your on-field game controls to get a familiar feel or a brand new one.

    - Community Feedback Gameplay – Improved linemen interaction, expanded defensive AI, new passing game (including more tipped passes and more aggressive DBs), faster QB animations, auto dropback for QBs and improved handoff speed to running back.

    - Maximum Football Sim League – Take the role of a recruit, player, coach, or team owner in the brand new official Maximum Football Sim League. This unique web based community will give you the chance to participate in a living football universe. The league will be launching in Q4 2020 with simulations using Doug Flutie’s Maximum Football 2020. Interested in learning more about the sim league? Get alerted about updates and registration at www.maxfootballsim.com

    - New Bowl Games (announced so far: Steelo Brand Bowl, Puerto Rico Bowl, Good-Life Bowl)

    - New logos (announced so far: https://www.instagram.com/p/CAtZZtal3u3/)

    - Broadcast camera for CPU vs CPU games

    Stay tuned for more announcements in the next few weeks.

            Must say that I was pretty dissapointed in 2019. As it's gone on, I can see where some improvements have been made. Planning to buy again. Hoping to see some good things from the game this year. From my perspective, mainly game play and hopefully stadium atmosphere. Even a radio style announcer would be most welcome. Definitely looking forward to the update today, as no new NCAA games are getting to be a drag. Madden is ok, but sadly Madden is in some ways not as good as previous years.

                    Any word on when first gameplay video drops? Thought it was suppose to be end of July. Every new feature being added looks great (in screen grabs), but my $ definitely hangs on gameplay improvement.

                      We are submitting for cert on Monday and then aiming to record gameplay after that. Unfortunately, real life has gotten in the way for myself and Josh with our day jobs. Our time has been limited and we've been focused on finishing off dev work.

                        This we would be so huge for the game. Can this be in the game this year or post launch?

                          Unfortunately not, the file saving process is complicated on consoles. We've also upgraded to the latest version of Unity in order to accommodate the PS5.

                            Got it. I really think the game has potential for you guys to quit your day jobs (but I think hinges on gameplay improvement over 2019).

                              Purchased 19 but didn't get to play much of it. Just wanted to show support.

                              Hoping the player modules have received a upgrade along with stadium atmosphere.
