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..

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!

I'd rather see x's and o's than badly done 3D tbh

Me too...I am actually fine with x and o presentation in these type of games.  Not sure if you all remember XOR football from the past, but I loved that game.  Espn used to use it to determine who had the best teams of all time.  If I am looking for big time graphics, I'll play madden football.

There was a game few years back that tried to combine management and graphics called head coach football, but it pretty much flopped and they gave up on it.  For some reason it appears a developer can only either create great graphics or good management, they can't do both:)

So I have no issue with x and o presentation if the management side is well done.

It is definitely what doomed Front Page Sports. Sierra made them ship when the 3d wasn't ready, and it was so broken they ended up recalling it from stores. *shakes fist at the corpse of Sierra*

Looks like the developer will start work on this again...no real details or time line yet..kind of disappeared after kickstarter didn't work out.

There has been some work done since the Kickstarter campaign. We've added the Read/Option to the game, worked on some squashing some bugs, and improving the game's appearance. We recently decided to devote more time to the project, including an active role in demonstrating the progress as it is made. Beyond that we'll see how things pan out.
