$20 for THAT 7 year old game. But hey...full DirectX 9 support! And XBox 360 controller support!

I'd prefer the boxed version for $29.99. That's something that looks great on a shelf. Plus, it says right there that it takes more than 5 hours to download on a 56K Modem, and I simply can't tie up the phone line that long.

Maximum Football Online League News
We now take you to MAXIMUM FOOTBALL Sports News, covering the flagship Online League of this cutting edge simulation…

Announcer
Well, after two weeks of play, we’ve had quite a few thrilling games and some amazing achievements, that’s for sure. Let’s take a look at some of the league’s standout statistics.

Apparently Leipzig has a bit of work to do on their passing game. In 38 attempts so far, quarterback Bolden as thrown 40 interceptions.

Analyst
Yes, but let’s now be so quick to criticize him. First it’s not easy to throw more than one interception on the same play, and Bolden has managed to do that on more than one occasion. Second, he has completed 15 of his passes, so that means that 55 of his 38 pass attempts have been caught by somebody. Third, you can’t just blame the quarterback in a situation like this; you’ve also got to look at the offensive line. They’ve had some minor problems protecting him. If you look at the stats, he’s been sacked 90 times in their two games. That's what I call a real beating! Lastly, it may have just been some outstanding play by Sasketchupwan's Russell, as he has picked off 43 passes in two games, and may just be a demi-god in human form.

Announcer
Yes, but I'm sure their passing woes can be fixed with a bit of uniform design. Rumor has it that Leipzig's coach has hired Calvin Klein to a two-year, $7.1-million dollar contract as a team fashion designer; Leipzig’s passing game will be back in form once they get their colors in line.

But's let's move on and take a look at kick return specialist Lockett from Calgary, who has been busy in the first two weeks of games. Lockett has amassed nearly 200 yards in kick off returns over the first two weeks.

Analyst
While this may seem productive, I want to point out that it took Lockett 161 returns to get this yardage. The highlight of Lockett’s season came when he broke off a personal-best 6-yard return. Commented Lockett on his long return, "I caught the ball, took two steps forward, and fell down cuz' some big guy was running at me! Booya! Most of the time I catch the ball and try to remember what I’m supposed to do, but that time, I remembered: run forward! That’s what coach keeps telling me to do.”

Announcer
But by far the most amazing performance so far has been the Toronto Argonauts, who have burst out of the gate to a 2-0 start. They have outscored their opponents 118-9, and this is enough to give them a league-high winning percentage of 1311.11%. Way to go Argonauts!

Analyst
Wait a moment, there! Don’t forget about penalty goals! Yes, with Maximum Football you can customize the game, and in our flagship league, tie games are decided by soccer midgets that run onto the field and kick watermelons at llamas! The penalty kicks made the difference with Edmonton and Montreal, as Edmonton lost then won because Montreal’s midget hit the llama between the eyes!

What excitement!

Announcer
Yes, that’s MAXIMUM FOOTBALL for you! Well, our time is up. We’ll be back next week for a closer look at the league’s other stat categories. Thanks for tuning in! See you next week*!

*In Maximum Football time units. One week equals 38 days. So two weeks equals, ummmm, 137.37% days.

The fact that Matrix Games does not seem to get this has me change my guess of release date from last Wednesday to "Never . . . or if it does get released, it will be so buggy that people are given refunds, and the code is just made freesource for hobbyists and the like"

The true secret is it's done, they just have to upload it to their server. Unfortunately, when this game entered development, it was back in the days of 300 baud modems. Having never upgraded their hardware, it's taken several years to upload it to the web.

Expect the upload to finish in 2014.

What I don't get is IF there's no contract negotiations, how does the game determine length of contract and when/if a player is a free agent?

Every year all the free agents goes into the "draft" and then some new players are thrown in as well. When you draft someone, does he automatically sign for X number of years? Just seems weird to me.

So, you get two options how to determine these things -- the game currently comes with a hat, or wait for M-F2, where you can link to a random number generator.

The hat might delay the game by another year...and of course, you'll have to provide your own numbers to put in it. :D

I'd guess it's like FBPro, where the players stay on your team until you cut them or they retire. So the free agents would just be the spares who were cut.. But I have no basis for that, just a straight up guess.

That's probably right, although I liked the hat idea better.

Canadian Football 2017 on Steam

About | Canuck Play

I did a search for "football" at Steam and spotted this Canadian Football title (coming July 2017). Clicked on the video and thought that it looked eerily similar to something that I had seen before . . .

You know, as much as we ragged on maximum football, the animations in this appear to be quite a bit better. If this is still a one man operation, he has at least improved quite a bit on things from what I can tell. Gotta give the man credit for continuing to plug away.

I await first impressions with bated breath.

Thanks. I guess that explains the single point scores I see every now and then.

Does that apply to any kick, even if it isn't returnable? So I miss the FG but it goes 10 yards out of bounds beyond the end line. That's 1 point?
