Interesting will follow but not sure about it...especially with ootp version out next year, stiff competition.

Its about American Football, not 'our normal' football. Just a mention for us non-American citizens of this forum. Saves you a click.

I'll be watching as well.  OOTP's Hockey game lowered my expectations for their football game.

Totally different person doing the football game so I still have some hope, but of course cautious.  I am a little concerned about this one, even from a graphics standpoint.  I believe they indicated the "home" screen was done now with the new expert graphic designer, could just be me, but I didn't even think that screen was very good compared to things out there nowadays.

I'll keep watching since I am open minded on these type of games and I want to encourage developers to continue...

And the plus side is your mention causes us Americans waiting for a 'real' football game to come out to enter a fit of click madness!

Aye.  I may well back this one, despite my usual aversion to Kickstarters.

I backed it. If it doesn't make it, I'm not out anything. If it does, NEW FOOTBALL GAME!  O0

That's true....no harm in trying and always room for multiple takes on football:)

mmm...the graphics and especially the "sound" going with that just gave it a 1990 feel. Not what I'm looking for - though I desperately want an American Football game...but this isn't it

Was thinking the exact same thing JD.  Graphics/GUI really don't look good.

He is still over a year away from release so maybe with his new graphic person it will improve...like the 2d field play, reminds me of stratomatic football in that regards.  Not sure it will work out, but will keep monitoring..

Pretty far along, any football fan should consider backing.

I'm a fan of 3-down football - I don't see anything there for me. Matrix had published MAXIMUM FOOTBALL a few years ago that let you select NFL, American College, or CFL (3-down). I'd love to see a program of high quality that included all those options. This doesn't appear to be it.

So I don't think it is accurate to say "any football fan" - in fact, "many" football fans would be disappointed.

Not to mention Maximum Football also had 3-D in-game action. Not saying the animations were stellar, or anything like, say, Madden quality, but still at least something above Xs and Os.

Sadly, never will happen....seems old the goodie oldies never come back and get updated for modern times...if it was the case, this would be an awesome game to do it with!
