Now that everybody is finding out how little substance there is to "career mode", they're trying to figure out what the holdup was.

Seriously, I've added on this form of "career mode" to someone else's sim in about 2 or 3 months programming on the side during college (attending full time) back when I had very little programming experience. So if the game was "finished" over a year ago, what exactly has been going on for the last year? And if he's really spent a year adding so little, how good could the rest of the game really be?

That's why everyone is having so much fun with the listed feature set for "career mode".


I gotta agree that 1 whole year for what is called "career mode" by dave is way over the top. I have little programming experience my self but if forced to do it might be able to knock off something in 3-5 months.My problem is that certain individuals here think that any football game MUST have all the features of the NFL even in a game that is a generalized version of fooball. Dave screwed up somewhere along the line and now him and Matrix are running around blowing smoke up everyones asses, but,as it plainly states over there , Maxfb is not an "NFL" game. If it was I would be the first to slam dave and co for the missing stuff I want and need in a specialized game like fof or tpf. But I am willing to see what the finished product(whenever it comes out)can or cannot do before slamming it mercilessly.
