For the record, it's not me posting as HornsManiac over there.

Geezus...I saw this thread linked at another site, so I came back to visit. I can't believe I read the whole thread. Two things stand out...
One was a quote by someone at MF: "With that said, career play in a game is a general term and as with many other such terms can be extrapolated based on each person's understanding." Wow. What kind of bullshit response is that? I think Bonegavel nailed this in the 3rd page of this thread. "Without intending to sounding too negative, this game is going to suck the most enormous donkey testicles that have ever been produced by ID/Evolution." So, in conclusion... This thread > MF |

I still want to know who BaboonHeart is? The Walmart trip to find Maximum football is hilarious along with his other posts.

No one delete this thread, I'll lose three posts.

Watching that newest video again, it's hilarious how the tight ends just get blown up and tossed on their back at the beginning of every play.
|
Yeah. It appears someone slathered their shoes' bottoms in lard. I also love how playres randomly fall through each other and in random directions when their is some attempt to tackle the ballcarrier.
|
also, PLEASE watch the RB on the 3rd down play. I love his "hover right" move to start the play.
LOL. He hovers, sliding to the right, then runs into the line and gets punched down by his own guard who has gotten turned around. |
You know, I really wonder what they are going after here. They aren't going to get any Madden-type customers and they have showed nothing that would interest text-simmer. What's left? The only thing I can think of is that this will be a budget title ($19.95) for those that can't afford the $50 for Madden.

You can prolly get one of the earlier year Madden games for around 20 bucks or so as well. |

Hi
I just wanted to make an appearance on this historic thread. That's all :) |
I have a feeling this is going to be one of those "I was there" moments in my life.
Yeah, that Maximum Football thread on FOFC.....I was there. |

Your Photoshop skills impress me grasshopper! :D |

I can see people buying it for $19.99 as a budget title if the box art is cool. But after they load it up??? Talk about some pissed off Wal-Martians. |
Sell it for $9.99 like Football Manager on Amazon.
BTW, does anyone have any idea WTF Football Manager is that is listed on Amazon? I assume its Football Mogul, but for $10 I might just buy it to find out. |

This thread is taking over my life. Please stop posting people. My stomach can't take all the laughing.

Get's better every day.

If I get one more moron who talks about maybe it was "rounding" and "this is not a text sim" I'm going to tell them to shove it up their !$$. Truly, how many people does it take to test this game..... The world will never know because no one has. Maximum Football = Maximum F@#kball |

Man, I've got to say you guys have been on a role this entire thread... I salute thee! To make this thread complete we obviously need an antmeister song and a fiere cartoon.:D

I am late in seeing this but that magnum guy over there is fighting tooth and nail to support that game.
I feel real sorry for him. |

this won't work bbor.. we'd all be roasted before the game even got released |

I'm really John Dixon, former Cleveland Browns linebacker, cut a day after being signed as a undrafted rookie free agent. I'm 47, had a wife, three kids from a previous marriage, and I've only gotten onto FOFC because I'm anxiously awaiting FOC. I actually never played volleyball and never even saw the Atlantic Ocean. I didn't realize I misspelled my screen name with an additional I until now... I guess that the 19th attempt to sign on was just lucky. By the way, it's actually Wiscounsin, I've got English roots. Still, the Houston Oilers are still the best football team in Texas, no matter how many games the Dallas Cowboys will win! |
just want to say that the First Baptist Church "Maixmum" sign and the "Cauiton, slippery when backpedaling" sign have me laughing like a little boy here, great stuf Rizon! :D :D

OK - these are the last logos that I could find - I was digging through the v43.323 of the "gold" copy for some time last night. Whew! Again, any similarity you may find between these logos and actual trademarked logos are purely coincidental and subject to adjudication:

The Iraqi Information Director has announced no release today. Come back tomorrow.

Damn, just had this waiting in my inbox...

What a trainwreck.
If I paid $40 for the enjoyment I've gotten out of this thread it would be a much smarter purchase than $40 for that game. |
It's taking over my life.

Dola:
Now that the link is posted, I wonder how long it will take for someone to bump the "a release in February is certain" comment. More good times a-comin' today, I would think. ;) |
Couple thoughts:
1.) I think that Baboonheart is one of our "well respected" posters over here. No reasoning behind that, just a gut feeling. 2.) I give lots of credit to Erik. I am sure that Matrix now realizes the problems they got when they signed up with Maximum Football. But they are not throwing Mr. Winter under the bus. They are doing what they can to take responsibility for the product themselves. For instance, when the movie showing the down and distance bug was posted, David Winter's response was (if you noticed) to shift the blame to Erik for posting the video taken from the Gold Master. Erik, graciously, did not tell David Winter to shove his Gold Master up his ass and point out that he did not actually program the game, but accepted the blame for the mistake himself. Matrix made a mistake here by taking on M-F, but they are handling the mistake with class. |

anybody thinks this thread should be retitled "MAIXMUM FOOTBALL"? :D

Quote:
Just wanted to say I agree. I think Erik is doing a good job, but is in a bad situation. I thought it was bad form for Daivd to hang Erik out to dry on the video thing. |
Quote:
It was HORRIBLE form by Daivd. Very, very unprofessional. |
Quote:
Bah! Squashing bugs is a job for third-party modders. |
dola -- I agree about Erik over at Matrix. He's been a trooper, making the best of a bad situation. I'm sure he's downing a bottle of Maalox every day.
|
I think it's funny that the apologists are referring to us here as whining. The only whining I see are from them. We are criticizing (often harshly, but almost always with humor). There's a difference between whining and criticizing which obviously they understand on about the same level of clarity as the actual rules to football.
|
Quote:
I agree. I believe Matrix will do its best to try to minimize losses and to have everyone save face. I think they were promised something that was not delivered so that's why I thought about them just releasing this as a budget title and be done with it. The "last thing on the list" is just developer/publisher-speak for "last thing needed to make the game run before we call it 1.0". How it runs become irrelevant for a dead title. |
Quote:
I was going to come over here and post essentially the same thing... I see no whining in this thread... I see serious questions.. I see mocking.. I see limmericking... I see damned funny photoshopping.... But I don't see ANY whining... |
The doctored images are starting to make their appearance on the MF forums.

Quote:
I have to agree. Matrix is doing the best they can but a dog is a dog and sometimes you have to put it down. I have a feeling Matrix didn't know the honest state of the game until recently and now they are stuck in a tough position. What's worse for them, release a crap game & try to recoup whatever money they have invested in it at the risk of damaging their reputation, or pull the plug on it and lose the money that they have already invested plus the flack they will get for doing it? It's tough to be a small publisher and having to deal with indie game developers. For most indie's, game development is a hobby and they work on their games in their spare time. It has to be frustrating for the publisher to have money in something and you're depending on a guy who has a full time job to finish this investment. It also has to be frustrating from the developer's standpoint to have a company breathing down your neck everynight expecting you to finish a checklist of thing and upload a new build by 12-1am each night after you've probably finished a full time day of programming. But like I said, if you can't hack it, stick with game development as a hobby, once you cross over that money line, sympathy goes out the window. I'm sure Matrix and DW are getting frustrated with each other by this point in time. Erik is usually more forthcoming with information. His post today struck me as having a different tone, either he's tiring of putting up with the trolls or there's more tension going on behind the scenes. I have a feeling it's a little of both. |
Quote:
It appears that the uber-Mod for Matrix has now made an appearance. Some guy by the name of VicKevlar has laid down the law on cheap shots and personal attacks at the Matrix forums, while at the same time referring to us (I'm guessing) as the Vinnie and Doggie Mad Cow Steakhouse. I guess he didn't take his fiber for the past month or so. |
If they banned everyone who complained about the game they'd have 2 people left posting in that forum. Erik & David.
|
Quote:
Gotta defend the Matrix guy again.. I'm somewhat with the others that these Matrix guys are not the bad-guys here... http://www.madcowssteakhouse.com/ Looks like off of their main forum listings this is an actual forum... |
Dola,
So I'm guessing Doggie is SkyDog. That ranks up there in smart moves along side doubting the power of a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick. The questions that remain are: Who is Vinnie, and Where did the steakhouse reference come from? If anything, they've been providing us the beef to feast on. |
Quote:
Ah, I see. I thought he was referring to the "Funny read while you wait" post that led people over here. |
Quote:
I did too at first, that's why I checked to make sure there wasn't really something called that (I figured, no way!)... but there it is, next to last link on their main forum listings... |

Quote:
He laid the smack down on druez early on before most of us started posting there as well. The post was almost the same word for word (I'm guessing he just copies and pastes it). |

I did notice that.. the whole "I've checked your history, and this isn't the first time... I've got my eye on you"................... shakin in my boots! |

So: VicKevlar in Matrix Forums = Ardent Enthusiast in the barracks? :eek: ;) |
After he started this whole thread, I want to know where Bubba Wheels got off to...

maybe he's busy posting as zowee over on the Max FB boards. :D |
Nah, he's been busy with his role as lead beta tester.
|
Quote:
|
Heh. They deleted the "Funny Read While You Wait," thread that linked to FOFC.
|
Quote:
Well, there are 31 people viewing this thread right now and 22 people on the Max FB thread. I think I'd delete the link too. :D |

I don't see how anyone could say these logos are copyright infringements! Well, maybe those FOFC haters would, but we all know how they are. :D |

Wasn't that Erik who told druez off? I could be wrong, but I did notice the similarity between the two posts... |
