dola--
Seriously, when the hell did J.P. Losman get good? |
Does this mean there's still hope for Patrick Ramsey?
|
Someone needs to print out this thread and make a book out of it. :)

I don't remember if it has been said before in this thread, but David should get some credit for what he has accomplished. Sure it isn't an actual game and it isn't something that should be paid for, but to come up with a 3D thing that approximates football and as solo project is pretty impressive.
To get the requisite bashing in, I still laugh when I remember him saying that he did the spreadsheet programming thing back in the 90s and his "game" approximates football way better than it approximates math. |

You do realize you just gave them the new tagline for the next M-F promo campaign. "Maximum Football---Pretty Impressive." |
Quote:
What a long, strange trip it's been.. |
Quote:
Nice. :) Of course if that quote me on that I will sue David for every penny he got from this game. I'd go for the dollars too, but I am not sure he got any. |
what harder 3d graphics or posting screenshots?
|
Quote:
Not enough apparently... |
Well, that was fun while it lasted...
Sounds like marauders decided to stop showing up when we realized he wasn't providing any actual information to show the game was good, because there is none. |
Quote:
Dammit wade, let's be realistic. It took a number of months for box art, so it has to be at least a couple of weeks before we see any screenshots. Don't give up hope yet. :D |
He is waiting.....
So when he posts the screen shots and we point out the problems, he can claim they are old. |
For Sale...
One copy Maximum Football. All offers considered. |

I'll offer a broken crayon |

Argh....how could you give up that much. Scratch what she offered. We are only offering the crayon wrapper and that is the final offer. |
I offer $4.
For you to destroy it in the most showy way possible :) |
Quote:
You bought the game? Hahahahahahaha:D :D :D :D :D :D |
Quote:
Wasnt' digamma the one that bought it for entertainment value? Hope he got his money's worht. |
Wow
Man, I just read a lot of this thread...
You guys are pretty mean. If there were a thread like this about PureSim I think I'd crawl in a hole :) I say let it go. This is beyond gratuitous. In case someone asks, no, I am no longer creating new games for Matrix, so there is no conflict of interest. I think David Winter did a terrible job handling the criticism early on, but from what I have seen he seems to be busting his a$$ to make it right. Call me sentimental, but I always root for the indie developers. Shaun |

I bought it for $5 off of Ebay. Worth the price just to be able to chronicle in this thread the epic statistical battle for longest passing touchdown in the one season I played. |
Quote:
Not only did he handle criticism poorly, but he shit over text sim developers (which would include you.) He is reaping what he sowed. |
It has now been just about one full year since the game has been released, and it is still not in a state that a reasonable person would call ready for market. Unless that market is for uniform designers that want to make plays for teams that have no discernible difference in skills of players and no interest in long-term development of their teams and are happy with one-off single games played.
edit: and are happy waiting for 3rd party tools that might bring some semblance of balance and order, that probably never will come or be able to address the fundamental flaws in the design of the game |
Dola (or not) -
Not to mention by most objective accounts, the game still isn't worth anywhere near as much as he charged/charges for it. |
This frackin thread will never die.
*ponders the irony of posting so it stays alive* |
I need the help of some of you MF Thread addicts. Or rather the FOFC Wiki needs your help.
Over at the wiki there is a barebones summary of the thread. I think the wiki is the place to do the long desired index for this thread. I've posted a barebones outline of how it might be done. It would be great if some people could help flesh out what is a mighty pathetic page at the moment. The link is: http://www.rwbl.net/fofcwiki/index.p...ootball_Thread |
I had an index to all the MF media we created....I'll find it in a little bit
Found it: Maximum Football Media Index Thread |
Quote:
|
Quote:
And I laughed all over again at some of those. |
That thread only covers the media created in the first half of the thread. There are plenty more gems lurking in the MF thread than documented in that list.
|
BTW, I did ship someone my copy of M-F. A condition of the sale was that he produce another dynasty. Stay tuned.

I still don't have the game. :) |
Quote:
Ahhhhh.....the magical reference thread. |
Quote:
woot |
thanks for bringing back the media index thread... i just had a good laugh going over some of this stuff again. those were the days...
|
Quote:
Could be a fun rotation idea. Maybe whoever gets the game passed to him next can continue the same dynasty. Um, you can save your game in MF, right? (that's not rehtorical) |
Quote:
How's that screen shot of a current non-beta build coming along? |
tee hee
|
Demo should be out any day now I'd expect . . .
|
Wasn't there supposed to be a new dynasty?
|
Pix thx plz.
ok bye. |
what better, thread necromancy or big threads?
|
I'll be starting my MAXIMUM DYNASTY sometime this weekend, maybe as early as tonight. I just need to find the latest patch, pds and fps patches and upgrades on the MAXIMUM FOOTBALL site.
|
Also uniforms. Can't forget the uniforms.
|
Quote:
Don't forget the beer tent. |
Quote:
He's on Maximum Football schedule. Which means we'll have that non-beta shot, oh, in 2011. |
Posting in this thread is like FOFC-related necrophilia
|
This thread is ART, dammit!

Quote:
But the game is Canadian, so we should see the CFL fixes around the 23rd week of 2009, if my understanding of the exchange rate is correct. The "American Style Rules" will indeed have to wait until the 54th week of 2011, or the -2.411123232422nd week of 2012. |

Shell? |

A truly maximum response. I hereby grant you this pass to the beer tent. |
Quote:
Fixed. I'm actually not gonna blame David Winters anymore, he's pretty impressive. However, considering that's it's not an actual game, I'm still fascinated by those who are die-hard enough to create MP leagues for this pretty impressive one-man graphical wizardry that's not quite a game. The XIFL is already one season into it's history. Pretty impressive. Just get started by picking a team, then watch glory unfold. http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=1383754 |
Quote:
I don't understand that thread. The web site he links to is not found, and he says you don't submit any files? Do you really just pick one of the teams in his league, and watch him run the league by himself, simply cheering "your" team on? |
Quote:
It's CUST-OH-MEYES-AH-BUHL!!! I llloooovvvvee it! |
I think one of my personal favorites has ridden off into the sunset:
http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/sh...sp?memid=20084 He hasn't posted since one week after the kickoff of his video game bus. I always wished he'd sign up on these boards. |
Quote:
That was my guess. Some of the responses from the only guy who entered the league are gold. |
Quote:
That would be a yes. What they do is have people select a team they would like to own and someone runs a full length game with CPU vs. CPU since that is supposed to give you the more..... |
I think we found jb's tag over there...

And god, Daivd said he wants to make maximum Lacrosse or hockey..
|
Quote:
Man, putting a picture to the poster takes a little of the fun out of it. Now I see him as human. |
Quote:
Just to clarify, Daivd said that he would already have either Maximum Lacrosse or Maximum Hockey released by now. |
Quote:
"now" is customizable, my friend... |
Clearly he hasn't figured out how to get the beer tent on the ice without it sliding

:confused: As Ricky Bobby would say: "Oh, sweet 8 pound, 11 ounce Lord Baby Jesus, wrapped in swaddling, in thy infinite wisdom, deliver us from this abomination..." "If we wanted to name this game after a failed attempt, we would have named our sons 'Sierra Football Pro' and 'ninety-nine'..." |

I guess the term enjoy is customizable to mean self inflicted pain.... |

There's just no way to avoid all the problems of this game. |
I'm going to write a letter to Microsoft to thank them for putting a sick cat out of its misery.

Well, to be fair there *is* one way to avoid them. |

Nice. |
A little tech support free verse from Daivd and Marauders.

Its admirable, in a way, that he is apparently still working on the game at all.

Fixed. |

Though I'm still interested and amused by this thread, it's been a while since I read something in it that elicited an out-loud laugh. This quote did it for me. |

This one on the 'Missing Man' got me. So we can't see the 11th man because he morphs into another player momentarily? Now that's what I call disguising your coverages. |

Yah! Game plan against that bee-yatch!!! |
Wow, I'm surprised this hasn't been reported over here yet...
VERSION 1.5!!!! 53% better than version 1.0, but 76.345323% to go to version 2.0 hxxp://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=1497798 Quote:

For some reason, it's the "as possible" part of that which started me to giggling. |
Don't stop believing.......

I didn't see any mention of splitting up the backfield positions into QB, HB, and FB. Is that coming in the next patch?
|
this never dies

No...you are not pulling me into another parody song! Stop the temptation please. :p |

If we are at least pick a canadian tune. Too bad you did "eye of the tiger" already. |
There are so many laugh out loud moments in that update post. . .
I think my favorite was right off the top: I am guessing some are not aware of the new features being built into the game and what you should be expecting. Okey dokey Davey. . . |
Quote:
Art mentioned 7 times! Guess we know the real focus of this update. Quite an arty fellow, that Daivid. |
Quote:
Pretty much sums it up. |
Quote:
This means that a lot of existing bugs have now been given a permanent home in the the software. I think. Quote:
This is the most important part of the update. Think of the mental anguish this would cause his wife. Imagine no uniforms I wonder if you can No need for green or yellow In a big beer tent of tan Imagine all the players Sharing all the field... You may say i'm a dreamer But i'm not the only one I hope some day you'll join us And the game will be as fun |
Quote:
Wait!! WTF Just happened? Was the game released or not?!?! |
So much here from our good friend Marauders.
Quote:
How many people would go through the pain of playing MF simultaneously on two different computers? And FYI: Quote:

Quote:
I was under the impression Daivd had written the graphics engine from scratch. I wonder if he rewrote it or decided to go with a commercial one. |
I have now posted in this thread.
|
Quote:
Well, if he went from DirectX8 to DirectX9, I doubt it's really NEW graphics engine, just an updated one. But he also said he implemented shaders, so he may have rewrote a good portion of the engine to best implement them. Of course, it's also possible he just threw them in there....(at this point, has Daivd earned any benefit of the doubt?) |
Quote:
Does it use DirectX8? I was assuming DirectX5 or so. Considering when he started to work on it and how it looked, assumed he was using the technology from that era and never updated along the way. |
