If Matrix advertises this "new version" with anything other than new graphics and play editor, they are going to drop down a few more notches in my mind.

Actually, I still have an old reg number from when I originally purchased the game. Might have to post some screenshots once it comes out. Y'all just have to see the inflatable helmets!

i'm frankly surprised that matrix hasn't washed their hands of this at this point

That was the part I liked.

IT LIVES!!!

As you can see, I customized the game to play 3 on 3:

This thread is like a long lost friend suddenly showing up for a visit.

Every time it appears on the front page I smile and shed a little tear.

I do not know what to say anymore. Seriously, this guy has to be the new White House spokesman. Tony Snow has nothing on this guy.

So it's a patch. Got it.

"John Cena can't wait for Maximum Football 2.0! RAAAAAAAAAAWR!"

Excellent.

This 2.0 version is spectacular news.

So...while I've promised some concrete & quantifiable features for the "next version", I'll go ahead & (once again) not deliver on that promise and just deliver a new version with some impossible to quantify features like "better graphics" & "animations'.

At this point, those are the least requested new "features" from the community, however, it is the easiest way for me to do very little(or perhaps nothing) & still not get my contract terminated by Matrix.

With All Pro Football 2k8 out there, there is no real reason for Maximum Football to continue to exist.

Except for comedy i suppose.

Well it's more than a patch. It's a patch with a misleading name in an attempt to generate more revenue! :D

Once again, it is better to work hard than actually accomplish stuff.

George Stephanopolus just called and said that was uncalled for. :)

That's what immediately caught my eye as well..

What's in a name? that which we call a piece of crap
By any other name would smell as bad;

-Bill S.

Yup, and I'll bet that it was all Matrix's idea (Daivd pretty much says so in his post).

As long as the story keeps going and we keep having some entertainment, let them keep fueling the flames. :)

Give David a break, I see some big improvements.

Nicely done.

Uh...What the FUCK? Since when? Must be a new policy, cos you and your batshit crazy wife/PR disaster sure screwed the pooch last time. Lest we forget...

I just wonder if the guy with the "Christmas in July" quote for the new patch is sitting at his chimney, still waiting for the Good Saint Patchilaus to make an appearance.

Is this a free upgrade? Or is it called Maximum Foosball 2 just so he can charge people again?

No...its a free upgrade to existing customers. However, they are just calling it MF2 just to draw in more suckers who were waiting for things like an actual schedule and an assortment of front office functions. I am so curious to see how Matrix is going to advertise it.

I'm more curious as to WHY Matrix would advertise it.

Hey guys, I do come to this website to keep up to date on FOF, and I do read this thread from time to time.

I don't post much, because it really isn't worth my time to do it. This thread is often counterproductive.

Anyway, I would like to note a few things that should answer some questions that came up here:

Maximum Football 1.x uses DirectX 8, Maximum Football 2.x uses DirectX 9

The game engine for Maximum Football 2.x has been changed, so a lot of code had to be rewritten.

Maximum Football 2.x will run on Windows XP and Vista. 1.x ran on 98se and XP.

Because of the changes above, the game was named Maximum Football 2 rather than just Maximum Football 1.5.

It isn't like Madden goes through huge changes from year to year with its updated title. It makes sense for Maximum Football to go to 2.x

As any members here that are also on the Matrix Games board know, I find constructive criticism and feedback to be of value. If you really want changes that would make Maximum Football a better game, as some of you have stated, then it would be a good idea to voice them on the Matrix Games board rather than just mock Maximum Football here.

I don't work for Matrix Games, and I push for game features like no other, but I understand the limitations of the project as well. It is easy to go around trashing other people's efforts, but that doesn't get much constructive work done.

It's funnier if the game sucks.




Thank you.

Trying very hard not to laugh.

HIGH FIVE FOR THE THREAD THAT NEVER DIES!

Actually, I'm not trying very hard.

Maximum Football 2.0 is over-rated. Version 1.X was the bomb.

Welcome to Hollywood.

Anyone else afraid this thread has gotten so big it will start eating the other threads?

This thread is 108 pages long! :o

180 pages for me. with 30 posts per page.

I'm insecure and this thread makes me feel better about myself.

Well, that could be valid. Thank you for being honest. :)

How Jennfier doing?

Seriously, someone must have an axe to grind with the developer or is trying to light a fire under his butt to get the features he wants. Why wouldn't he have started a new thread on this, instead of contributing to something he believes is counter productive?

Plus he tried this a while back and said he was open to questions only to never come back again. What is going on here?

Canada is going on.

If you bought Maximum Football with Canadian dollars, and sold it in American dollars, your profits went through the roof!

It's a profit deal!

I just get the feeling that Marauders would secretly hate for this thread to die and is afraid to admit it.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was a sock puppet of someone here that doesn't want the thread to die.

That's cool though cause it worked.

(im only kidding)

It's hilarious that there are instantly nearly 20 people reading this thread.

Marauders: Any screenshots of current stats? As a number of us have stated, if this game is generating realistic stats in single player you'll probably get a number of new sales.

From the new games forum description for MF 2.0

Acclaimed by whom?

I shouldn't have even opened up the thread, but I'm glad I did, LMFAO:D . I'm just glad the wife is at work otherwise she'd be wondering why I was sitting here at the computer with tears running down my cheeks.

By surfing the Matrix forums I've discovered that there are hard limits on yardage in the quick sim engine.

Maximum run = 19 yards
Maximum pass = 41 yards

But those can be customized.
