The creator of the game was banned from the forums for critcisms of Madden, ironically...many years ago.

I can tell that the ball physics after a bounce are already better than anything Madden has done in 10+ years. Game looks greats.

Javo is truly an example of someone who was told if he didn't like it to go make his own game, so to speak...and he did just that.

He also created his own APF 2k8 editor which is basically a must-have if you still own the game. He started his own sportsgaming website as well ...simheads.com. Good dude.

If it has coach mode and a franchise progression system, I'll play the hell out of this.

Hats off to this guy, he made a game by himself. Seems to have a fran mode and looks really good far as game play. He seems like a true sim football guy.

I see there is a career mode. Can anyone confirm this is longer than just 1 season?

Info from the developer....

Hi there,

Career mode is a basic season mode right now where you create your very own coach and play through an entire season with your favorite team. You can view player stats, team stats, league leaders, injuries, see news, purchase facilities (have no affects on teams yet), and more.

No trades, multiple seasons, free agents, drafts, financials, staff, just yet. Those things will be in the works on some level or another as the game progresses.

Thanks for the feedback! Hope you enjoy the game.
