It would be the most awesome April Fool's joke ever if they said, "that game we released was just a joke, here's the real game" and it was absolutely perfect, with no bugs at all. |

This game was finally rated by the SSRB.

Looks like the latest AI changes have really made a difference. After 3 years of knowing that safeties don't work, and adding a new man-to-man coverage, it looks as though they really have a handle on it now:
Extra kudos for adding an "Brokebacker" directive for inside linebackers. For too long, Football sims haven't had the guts to deal with the love which dare not speak it's name, in an honest, touching, and realistic manner such as this. |

My favorite is the safety just standing there watching the receiver run a fly pattern.

Also, I hope that isn't a logo that ships with the game, as I think there might be some Wisconsinites that would be a bit upset with the similarities.

Sometimes, I just don't even get what some people are trying to convey with their smileys. This guy (posting in a thread about 8 man football on a large field) makes sense. Until the smiley at the end. What the heck is he trying to convey with that smiley?

Is it just the angle or does the HB who's blocking on the end of the line have no calves or feet?

*sigh* I think it's over. This thread has a very "star trek" tv show type lifecycle. Initially like the OS it took a long time to get going. Then it hit Next Generation status, the "golden era" which lasted for quite a while. It slowly evolved into Deep Space nine, and just wasnt as good. Gradually it moved into the abominations of Voyager, and then finally Enterprise. And here we are now. Goodbye thread, it was fun.

Random posts from the Maxim boards...

And this one, which has gone unanswered.... Quote:
The thing that I find amazing is that this type of post is invariably concluded with the "This game rocks! You guys are great!" paragraph. In some way I envy them: they simply must be a lot happier than I am with life in general... A Maximum Football fan buys a new car... "Oh, I bought a new car! But I don't see any wheels. Am I supposed to have wheels? This car rocks, by the way! I'm having a great time making my own windows! You guys rock!" |

In an effort to refocus, I'd just like to point out, in retrospect, the prophetic nature of this post as it relates to the customizability of "untraditional" offensive formations in Maximum Football. (See next post.) Kudos yabanci. |

I was wondering at what point people who bought the game would actually play more than a single game. Up to this point, just about everyone who bought the game seemed to be spending all their time making uniforms and then playing a half or a single game (that generally last somewhere around 60+ minutes ).
BTW, I love the quote about turning sound off improves the completion percentage of quarterbacks. Someone needs to put together a FAQ for the game and that should be included. |

and imagine how this could be applied to real world, how if we told fans not to scream their team's quarterback would complete many more passes. Think how the Falcons' fans would shut up and let Ron Mexico do his thing FM

There's just so many other ridiculous posts, it's almost sad: There are highschool projects which include localization, not though, this game: Quote:
Now at least the problem with 35 sacks a game has been fixed, along with the tricky problem of pretending that any stats problem specific to the NFL is outside the purview of the game: Quote:
Quote:
To which one bright spark suggested increasing the QB ratings. As they all appear to be 99 for every attribute, that might be a problem. But hey, cutting down on sacks by removing the passing game seems par for the course. We all know, that along with picking playoff teams, the next hardest thing would be to have a working coin toss. What are these people complaining about, can't they just flip a quarter themselves: Quote:
And of course not a single post in the "scheduling doesn't work" thread. The people there are looking to one of their own to fix it. I suppose in the land of the blind, he who pretends to see is King. I'm betting the real problem has something to do with this: Quote:
Nice that after a couple of months spent trying to repair the gold master and patching, though consistently introducing new problems and unbalancing the game, that such a thorough testing regieme has now been introduced. FFS, how does anyone even release a beta patch with that process? I used to think the betas were blind, simple or both, but I'm betting that after something passes tests, it get's David's "tweaking" treatment and the next person to see it is the delusional sod who bought the game. I don't even know if it's worth commenting on anymore, I loved the car-crash analagies from 40 pages ago, but now it just feels like watching a Canadian clubbing a baby seal, and the result is more predictable |

If the baby seal had a copy of MaxFB attached to it's head pre-clubbing, that is something I would pay $49.99 to see.
