Publisher and developer Modus announces Maximum Football with a gameplay trailer. The upcoming college football sim is in development using Unreal Engine 5 and will be free to play on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms.

The new Maximum Football launches in Steam early access this spring, with the full release coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Fans can also check out the new trailer for a first look at gameplay and a roundup of Maximum Football’s key features. These include physics-based tackles for more realistic gameplay, extensive player and team customization, and online cross-platform multiplayer. The new game also sees the return of Maximum Football’s Dynasty Mode, a dynamic career mode including bowls, player recruitment, transfers, suspensions, and more.

Modus provides some additional information on Maximum Football’s website, promising that the college football sim will offer “an ultrarealistic experience” that fans can experience for free. The game will use a live service model, which the studio says will allow it to continually improve and offer players a fresh experience. Modus also promises that the new game will not contain loot boxes and that Maximum Football provides an enjoyable experience even for players who choose not to spend money on the live-service content.

Fuck.


This has nothing to do with Football.

 

[sandbood]

That's egg hand not football.

 

[Whitecrow]

I dont know anything about the rules of EggHand, but this looks kinda fun. I'll try it.

 

[V1LÆM]

Aww I got excited until I seen the dude wearing a helmet and HOLDING A FUCKING EGG.

This isn't football! Why is the guy wearing gloves? Because he has to carry and catch an egg?

American "Football" is basically Rugby except they are too scared to get hurt and get all padded up and wear helmets.

 

[Rykan]

In before the "It's not foo..." ah fuck.

 

[Knightime_X]

wtf is this "EgG HaNd" nonsense?

 

[Melfice7]

got excited for football and got eggs

 

[Nemesisuuu]

Maximum clickbait more like.

 

[Benniewise de Clown]

wtf is this "EgG HaNd" nonsense?

What else would you want to call it?

 

[TrebleShot]

Rubbish. for real football we have.

UFL
GOALZ

EA Football Club
eFootball

All are shite.

Football Life is the GOAT.

 

[Neolombax]

Ah got jebaited. This aint football.

 

[FingerBang]

I don't give a shit about either footballs and I love this thread already

 

[Ar¢tos]

wtf is this "EgG HaNd" nonsense?

Don't you find weird that running around with an egg shaped ball on your hands is called football? (Foot + Ball).
Compared to TRUE football (some weirdos call it "soccer") the players only occasionally kick the ball.

 

[jezhumphrey75]

i came in expecting a soccer game...ffs

Spot the american spy.

 

[Gloomnivore]

Minimum Football

 

[chromatic9]

Oh, you meant the Benny Hill style hand egg chase game with those kinky helmets and padding.

 

[The Tourmaline Gorilla]

I seriously don't understand why, to this day, this is still called "football"; it's anything but.

Came here expecting to see football, and got a variant of rugby.

 

[JLB]

Oh.. the other football. Thanks, bye.

 

[chixdiggit]

What a bunch of crap. This isn't real football. Real Football is a running simulator where the players flop around like they are in the WWE not this garbage.

 

[RoboFu]

Oh no.. it’s not a bunch of pansies running around in short shorts making out with each other..






Idk anything about sports but that’s what I imagine it is.

 

[RoadHazard]

This went well. As it should.

 

[kanjobazooie]

Why is this called football? And why is soccer called football???

Your foot should go inside the ball if you want to call it football.

 

[Jormatar]

Mods should change the title. So many people getting jebaited into topic.

Just add ( not SOCCER ) to the end .

Nobody corrects people calling rugby, aussie rules, gaelic, or whatever dominant code "football" though. Its a weird euro obsession same as asking "why is it called the world series". The real question I wanna know how Brits coined "soccer" from "association football".

 

[The Fartist]

 

[Majukun]

aah, you mean egghand

 

[elco]

Didn't look terrible.

Little brother syndrome. The NFL is the most profitable sport in the world and that rubs the Euros the wrong way.

 

[Sp3eD]

Cant make threads like this during peak Euro time. Should have waited 8 more hours until the Dive Grassers went to bed.

That being said, the actual graphics look great, but the animations look pretty bad here. There was a reason loads of sports games for years worked on high end mo cap or animation cycles. Will try it out for the F2P though.

 

[FearlessBelgian]

Oh not, that not the football i was expecting for...

 

[Nemesisuuu]

At first I thought it was about football, then that it was Power Rangers or Halo spin off - and now; now I know nothing!

American "Football" is basically Rugby except they are too scared to get hurt and get all padded up and wear helmets.

I played a little rugby in college, this is an uninformed take. They use similar balls and at times you can hold the ball while running, but that's where the similarities end.

Playing both sports at an amateur level, I can say rugby generally was safer. The lack of protection creates a situation where not only is the ball holder not protected, but also the tackler. Tackles are generally less violent and more measured in rugby due to the tackler not wanting to kill themselves. In American football, defenders act like heat seeking missles that will destroy a ball carrier.

 

[buenoblue]

Well that's disappointing. Egghand.

 

[kapshin]

Didn't know there were so many Europeans on GAF lol.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Soccer

Uh, how sad is it that this cheaply made software animates better than Madden 2k23?

 

[V1LÆM]

Americans. They speak american not english, apparently.

They were founded by the British (English) and got so pissed off they tried to steal our language and make it their own but us Brits will always remind them they are wrong.

 

[Danknugz]

still waiting on an official LFL (Lingerie Football League) game

 

[Rayven_king]

damnit man I thought we finally had an alternative to FIFA

 

[Deerock71]

Fuck.


This has nothing to do with Football.

I was prepared to say the exact same thing. I'm pleased to see it's the opposite!

 

[Gorgyles]

The engine looks cool, but those animations and physics-based tackles look pretty weak.
Remember Backbreaker on the PS3? That tackling system was seriously impressive.

 

[Azurro]

I was very confused when I saw "college football" since football stars don't go to university, but then I saw the helmets and realized you were posting about American Concussion Hand Egg.

 

[midnightAI]

The real question I wanna know how Brits coined "soccer" from "association football".

Its what the football players do to their wives/girlfriends if they criticise their career choice

 

[DAHGAMING]

Fucking super egg bowl game foiled me again.

 

[GymWolf]

Next what? A game called maximum boxer about breeding a specific race of dogs?

 

[nani17]

Eggball

 

[Gorgyles]

What should they call it?
