Maximum Football Readied for Release
GONE GOLD posted on 15 FEB 2006 by Chris Abele
The simulation/management game has been completed.
Football sim and management fans will soon have a new game to pass their time between the football season: Maximum Football from Wintervalley Software has now gone gold. The game is a coaching and management sports title in which players direct their football team of choice through the "North American Football" league (EA owns the NFL license). Decisions are largely strategic (should I trade this player? how should this play be designed?) and allow for a high degree of flexibility. Unlike other management sports games like Championship Manager (review), Maximum Football also includes a 3D arcade mode where players can simply watch the game unfold or jump in and control the players as they run, pass, block, and tackle. Major features include:
- Multiple rules styles. Play Canadian, American Pro, American Amateur, or Indoor styles of football, all with a single game.
- Ability to mix and match some rules to create your own league with your own rules.
- Fully DirectX based with full 3D game play environment. This is not a text based game.
- The Play Development System. The most advanced play design system available for any football title on any platform. A point and draw system allows you to draw the player routes and assign scripted actions to the player along those routes. Most plays imaginable can be created with the PDS. Works with all rules styles.
- A full practice mode allows you to take to the full 3D practice field and run your newly created plays with or without a defense.
- Open source team artwork allows for simple addition of user created artwork for team uniforms and field artwork.
- Basic career mode allows for drafting players from a free agent pool, developing their skills through a training camp system, and watching them perform on the field until they eventually retire.
