Sometimes its hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man
But if you love him
Be proud of him
Cause after all he's just a man




STAND BY YOUR MAN

I so wanted to reply to it, but held back...

These people need to understand they are running a BUSINESS. That they are making promises to CUSTOMERS. The product their BUSINESS has promised to deliver is about 3 years late. It is absurd to expect civility at more delays. They have no perspective on this issue whatsoever.

Not to mention all the slams coming from her husband against text sim developers...

I feel a bit sorry for Shaun Sullivan in all of this. Hopefully people won't equate Maximum Football with his baseball game, which actually does work and is a fine game. since they are both published by the same outfit.

Now THAT'S what I call media relations!

why does anyone care though? the humor in this has eluded me since like page 12 or so. the game is obviously not gonna be worth anyone's time, not sure why people are taking off of work for this crap and crying about it.

THAT'S the humor in it...

You mean you'd pass up a chance at a game where you could field a starting lineup of 11 Dean Houston's?

what would you buy?

maximum football or a refurbished electric football game?

Dude, I need an electric football game.

never really understood how to play electric football

Ok, I didn't read the thread cuz I am not that bored, but WHEN is this game coming OUT???????

I MUST KNOW!! CANNOT WAIT!!!

Hey! You stole my TCY2/BBCF joke :p

Me either. I owned one 25 years ago, though.

Anyone know the release date of Football Pro '99?

me too. the usual was to set the guys up once, turn it on, stare at them for a few minutes and then leave it out on the floor for days until someone yelled at me to clean it up.

So what I take from this post is that it's better than a couple football games from 95-96 although doesn't have as deep of a career mode...and the beta tester seems to really struggle with the English language.

edit: And no I didn't run the original post through a jbmagic translator.

Ised to line up my players in a 3x3 block with the extra players on the front end and the ball carrier in the middle of the mass. There was no way to stop that brutal running game, and thank goodness my big brother didn't care about actual football rules.

I tried to make a Christmas tree formation or something. I also held the quarterback up to eye level to try and throw the ball.

My favorite was to put stuff on top of the field and turn the knob so everything rattled.

My mom must have hated me.

Wow - even their forums have Maximum Spelling Customization!

If you tried to run the statue of liberty play you would just vibrate out of bounds for a loss.

I think you had to put up a barrier between Off/Def, set up your play, then remove the barrier and turn on the juice.

The lifting of the piece of paper (or whatever you used) was always a great moment.

So, will the game be out by Friday?

What would be cool is if someone could hack their board and everytime you enter it plays Benny Hill music.

LOL! :D

Best post in this thread.LOL:D

Over on the MFer forum, the main dude is telling the nay-sayers to wait until the game is released before being critical. No wonder the game isn't out yet.

That's what I got from it. He forgot to mention that he hasn't played Madden, any 2k game, or FOF because anything released after 1999 doesn't count :)

there can only be one.

DW is just a man? I was under the impression he was the second coming, thanks for bursting that bubble :rolleyes:

It's amazing they are going to release football game that doesn't have FOF play design capabilities and doesn't limit itself to an NFL style league. I don't know what they are thinking. It would be horrible if anyone tried to do anything different than what is already available.

:D

Ask and ye shall receive....well, sort of:

Maximum Hilarity

BRILLIANT! You magnificient bastard!

That. Is. Awesome.

HATERS!!!


*cough* awesome job Toddzilla *cough*

*drys a tear from his eye*

I guess posting that over there would be considered piling on.

David, is that you?

wow.

my tumby hurts.

I haven't laughed that loud with no one else around in a LONG time..

Be nice. It's his wife, dude.

Sorry, I can't tell them apart. :D

I wonder how many threads on their board have 900+ posts? Heck, I wonder if their board has 900+ posts...

:D

Hey, come on now, this guy hasn't posted since September of 2004 and now when he...does....you...

...

(Hmmmm, September 2004? The original release date for Maximum Football? Coincidence?)

...

...never mind.

We must all be secretly pining for this game ;)

I'd consider pushing a release date back almost 4 years very different, but not in a good way. So, in that case, it is horrible. Touche!

FOFC - 0

Now run along, you've got some more potential customers to deceive.

I thought this was interesting.

The Homepage for Wintervalley Software.

That's hilarious. :D

The expected release on the page also says 2002. They should have done a better job of managing customer expectations but, the tone of the posts around here reminds me of why we haven't had a decent non-text football sim in 7 years.

Dude.

Seriously.

The game is FIVE YEARS LATE and has had a rolling expectation every few months...

How can you expect for anyone to take them seriously or give them respect or benefit of the doubt with anything they say. They are the definition of a joke.
