I played about 10 minutes.


Crashed 2 times. Played about 3 minutes of gameplay. It feels like a game from the early 2000s. Can't see it being very successful.

Are you able to control other teams in Dynasty and watch CPU vs CPU games?

1. I wish teams had existing identities. I don't like picking from a selection of coaches. Let the teams have a coach already that runs a scheme that makes sense for that roster. If I want to I should be able to make a coach to be. I just think the way NCAA handles how teams exist (Team has a playbook, coaches, etc) is the way it should be done in every football game.

2. Playbooks are not great and remind me of the early 2000s Madden and NCAA games. They have indicated that they are going to update them. I hope they do.

3. Gameplay is just so bleh, but it is early access.

4. I like the idea of the AD stuff but didn't get a chance to see much about it.

5. Spending a ticket to start a dynasty feels dirty.

I wish the development team well and hope it is able to continue to get better.

It played well in the July beta phase, but seems to play a bit differently now and is quite buggy. I'm bummed that there's no franchise mode until next year since I'm not interested in the other modes, disappointed overall. Guess I'll be sticking to Madden 24 and Axis 2024 for now.

SoftDrinkTV has a reasonable review of the early access.

The customization is what's got my attention. I can imagine what this site could do in editing the game. That, and another football game does stir the pot but watching this gives me the nostalgia back

<b>Maximum Football 24 The 1978 Steelers @ The 1978 Cowboys 8 minute quarters.</b>

Looks pretty decent especially with old school players

Just watched the '78 Steelers v '78 Cowboys video. This alone will scratch the itch for the nostalgia crowd. Game didn't look terrible, animations are a bit stiff, but I could definitely see myself playing out historic seasons or tournaments with this.

Re: Maximum Football Early Access Arrives on November 7

For years and years, I have wished for a game with a plethora of customization. Back in the All-Pro Football days, I spent more time designing uniforms and putting together rosters than actually playing.


If a game could be that laboratory for design (uniforms, stadiums, leagues, playbooks, rosters, etc.) with dead-eye solid game play, good enough animations would be good enough for me.

Re: Maximum Football Early Access Arrives on November 7

Looks a bit stiff in the animations but might suffice for classic team creation and seasons. The font on front of the Cowboys jersey is way to small and low...but am sure that can be cleaned up.

Looks like it has potential...let's see where they are when ready for release...
