Post-Superbowl Blues? Maximum-Football Goes Gold!

[Erik Rutins]

Run, Throw, Manage, Coach, Design Plays and More!

Matrix Games and Wintervalley Software (www.wintervalley.com) are proud to announce the second sports title in the Matrix Games line, Maximum-Football, has gone gold and is expected to release early next week as the first 3D sports strategy game of the 21st Century.

Primarily a coaching and management game, Maximum-Football is a robust North American Football game where you can change nearly every single aspect of the rules and features. Use Indoor, outdoor, Canadian, or American rules, or any combination thereof. Utilize the robust play editing system to create your own playbook specifically tailored for the team you drafted and trained in the pre-season. Compete in player run leagues and discover if you have what it takes for a championship ring.

It isn’t just managing every aspect of a team though, Maximum-Football also features fully functional coaching and arcade mode where you can watch the action or take the controls to run, pass, block, and tackle in true 3D. The feature list for Maximum-Football is tremendous, but here is a peek at just some of the key items on the list. For the complete list, please visit the Matrix Games Maximum-Football forums.

Maximum-Football Feature List:

*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.

Discover the ultimate gridiron game! Maximum-Football will be available next week from the Matrix Games store.

Hi Erik,

Just curious. Do you have a retailer store like EB, or Best Buy stores? Or is the store is just an office?

You mean a Matrix Games Retail store? No, sorry. Might be fun though. [8D]

We just have an office, boringly enough. When we send releases to retail, they do show up in the usual places though.

Does this mean you can find Maximum football in stores

[Erik Rutins]

No, I didn't mean to suggest that. Maximum-Football will only be available through our Online Store at release.

There is no currently scheduled retail release for M-F coming down the line, but we may consider something like that for the future (i.e. months away, or perhaps longer).

Regards,

Hi everyone, I'm here to post a confirmation on the release date. The scheduling limitations we have with our online store at Digital River on Monday (due to the National Holiday here in the US) are making a Monday Night release unlikely though we would really have loved to do that for the football synchronicity alone.

So, the release date will be Tuesday, February 21st. We don't anticipate any further slippage and the release will most likely be Tuesday evening US Eastern time.

Regards,
