In generaly, I could sympathize with this statement. In regards to this particular game, I can't. Actually, I can't believe there are suckers that think this game is going to be worth whatever frustration they've allowed to build up in themselves over its delay...

That is fantastic. Too funny.

LOL @ Druez's comment to the wife... man, that is hilarious.

Is that the reply that drew the attention from the forum mod that Druez was now on his radar for "trolling"?

Does anyone else think they only initially tested the game and install on one configuration? They probably installed it on a PC with an ATI card just for the heck of it and found that it wouldn't run.

actually, i'm the guy who boinked your GF like she was a roast beef hero with low-fat mayo.

I wonder if they have been banning their beta testers for "criticizing" the company?

Beta Tester 1 - "Um, yeah, my computer doesn't recognize the CD. Did you send me the latest build or a blank CD?"

Matrix Nazi - "Are you being a wise ass? Let me tell you something you munchkin. We don't tolerate that kind of crap around here. Do you have any idea how hard it is to program? Have you ever programmed? Evah? I don't have time for this kind of immaturity. I'm revoking your beta card."

Beta Tester 2 - "Um....my computer doesn't recognize the CD either....."

Matrix Nazi - "..."

Beta Tester 2 - "....I mean...."

Matrix Nazi - "Yes?"

Beta Tester 2 - "This is teh great! Best, almost better than....I mean, better than Frong Page 95....96....FPS98!"

David Winters - "Understood! Release the Gold Master!!!!!!"

Perhaps like the move The Golden Child, someone has kidnapped the Gold Master?

Beta Tester 3 - My backup RB just ran for 400 yards in a game.

Beta Tester 4 - um...My QB just threw for 700 yards in a game.

David Winters - Excellent! That just demonstrates the flexibility of the game! None of those text sims can do that!

Oh wow. I was just thinking of that movie.

Worst.Eddie.Murphy.movie.ever

ok, besides Pluto Nash

Breaking News:

It has just been revealed that Howard Hughes is creating this game and it has been renamed "Hell's Angels".

I liked that movie. I bet it was much better than this game is going to be.

You obviously didn't see Bowfinger.

Or Doctor Doolittle, one or two.

48HRS is my favorite Eddie Murphy movie EVAH.

Yowch. Yes, I did. I guess I buried that one in my subconscious to forget it. Okay, Golden Child moves up a notch.

Can't say that I blame you.

I HATED Bowfinger when I saw it at the cinemas, and then a few years later I saw it on TV and liked it... I don't know what happened to me in the years that passed between those two events.

In preparation for MF's inevitable release some unknown super bowl sunday in the future, let's put the customization of MF to good use.

1) The field is 500 yards long and 500 yards wide. This will open up the sweep again and make those DE's stay home once and for all.

2) Referees carry Bec de Corbins.

3) Land mines that spew bits of hard-rubber shrapnel are randomly placed by players previously blinded in games due to the removal of any rules regarding eye gouging. If you step on one you get and extra down.

4) The endzones are only 2 feet deep. Why? Because we can.

5) No goal posts. Kicking is for the soccer mod we are developing for MF next.

6) No Defense—both offenses are on the field at the same time and there are 2 balls in play. Hopefully you score before the other team!

7) The player's wives section is really close to the opposing team so they can hurl insults and rotten fruit at the opposing team.

8) Players from the Negative Material plane must sign waivers that they will come nowhere near players from the Positive Material plane for fear the universe will collapse.

9)Bigby's Clenched Fist is only allowed once per quarter and then only if the QB has memorized it 4 times.

10) Anyone entering the endzone must make a Save vs. Victory Dance or suffer a 350 yard penalty to be assessed at the first sign of a Bugbear.

Have you read "Killerbowl" too?

Perfect. :)

You guys remember mutant league football for the sega. That game was great.

How the fuck can you make a game and take out the option play altogether. It sounds like the AI guys would keep trying to tackle the QB while the ball carrier would run for a TD everytime. That'd be funny.

MM13X was unstoppable!

Sorry, SkyDog, you won't be able to customize an option offense. I guess they just lost a sale.

:D

1. The goal posts are not editable as far as size goes.

2. The option I've had to take out of the game for the time being. I had it in there but it was such an AI breaker it wasn't even funny. I'm sure people will probably find plays or routes that can cause the defensive AI problems but I didn't want to leave in something that was THAT obvious.

So until I get that sorted out, I've have to leave it out.

Double hand offs are still in there though.

Dola,

I see stevew saw the same thing.

What the hell is a double handoff? A reverse?

I still can't get over the guys that are dying for this game. After everything they've seen they still believe that this is the game for them. I wonder if they'd be so anxious if it was something more concrete than software.


Salesman: Welcome back Mr. Zowee. I see you got our email about the imminent release of the Maximum Ford.

Mr. Zowee: Its gonna be so frickin sweet!

Salesman: Well, I hate to tell you that we're actually not going to be getting the delivery tonight.

Mr. Zowee: But you promised!

Salesman: I know, but things came up after we prereleased at the auto show. Its not a big problem, but right now we can't make the car run at all. We hope to have it fixed by Thursday.

Mr. Zowee: Why should I believe you now?

Salesman: Remember the pictures I showed you. Its a car that looks like a Fiesta, but its customizable, baby. With a new body, a new engine, a new interior and new tires it can be an Explorer or a Focus. Its your call. If you have a fully equipped garage and body shop this shouldn't take more than several months. And you can switch it back and forth when you want to, plus several months to convert.

Mr. Zowee: Frickin sweet.

Salesman: And its legal in the United States and Canada!

Mr. Zowee: I'm sorry I doubted you. Please convey my apologies to your lovely wife. I can't wait for this car!!!

Yep. Or more accurately, a double reverse.

How the AI can deal with a double reverse, but not an option play is quite intriguing.

If the AI can handle teleportation, it can handle any thing.

I would say 'quite unbelievable,' rather than 'quite intriguing.'

Somewhere this man is smiling.

wrong guy

GIS didn't pull up images of the overlooked historical footnote in your article. :D

Maybe this is a foreshadow of when the Option will be completely banned from collegiate and pro football leagues...forever? [wishing with all my might]

:)

This thread is better than the game.

:D I think patch 1.1 for BBCF is coming out before MF.

It is funny watching the few patiently but eagerly awaiting this game.

This thread will be a self-fullfilling prophesy, won't it?

Any takers that Jesus is coming back before MF is released? I'm calling Vegas...

I've got a fiver down that Elvis will hand deliver my copy.

dola,

wearing a pink mumu

double dola,

while riding a unicycle

Genius. And I'm still waiting for someone to play that game video with a loud *BAMF* when the guy teleports.

That's not saying much, is it? Hell, sitting on the crapper and realising there's no toilet paper would probably be better than "the game" :)

But I do agree this thread is as good as anything I've ever seen on the net. :D

Anyone taking tommorrow off to play this game?:D

Forget just taking tomorrow off, I say quit your job altogether so you can spend a lifetime soaking in the Maximum Awesomeness. You know, like the lifetime it's going to take for this game to come out.

It's funny that they had to remove the option because it breaks the AI, but the AI is supposedly fine with user made plays, multiple rule sets, etc. Personally, I expect relatively few bugs but I think the AI is likely to be horrid (not to mention the lack of basic features expected in modern football games).
