Maximum Football – hitting Game Preview
As evidenced by the recent release of UFL on consoles, there seems to be a bit of a trend for smaller developers to take on the big boys of sports gaming, delivering free-to-play offerings in order to entice fans. Maximum Football is the football (the North American version) of this, coming to us from Maximum Entertainment, looking to challenge the likes of Madden NFL, and the recently released EA Sports College Football 25.
Maximum Football is now available on both PC (via Steam) and Xbox consoles, free to download and running through early access schemes. On Xbox, this is known as Game Preview – so before deciding to check this one out, know that the game is open to changing, and may have some bugs and other issues to navigate through.
That being said, there’s tons to get involved with in Maximum Football, with the College Dynasty mode allowing you to build your own championship team and managing them to glory. Draft, recruit and manage in order to make it to the very top.
You’ll also be able to face off against other players in a ranked, online competition mode similar to that of EA Sports FC’s Ultimate Team mode. Customisation is king, too: you can create up to 130 teams in Maximum Football, with customisable players and logos to boot.
UNMATCHED CUSTOMIZATION – Maximum Football allows you to create your football universe from the ground up. Upload custom logos, create up to 130 teams, and change every aspect of a player from ratings and name to accessories. Take control on and off the field to create the football experience you have always wanted.
COLLEGE DYNASTY MODE – Take the reins as head coach, building and sustaining championship teams by drafting, recruiting, and managing both team and stadium personnel year after year.
FREE TO PLAY – Experience the ultimate football simulation game for free! Play the core game and get a variety of customization options free of charge. To enhance the experience, a selection of premium content is available for purchase.
RANKED, ONLINE COMPETITION – Maximum Football features an online mode where you build and upgrade a roster of players via a competitive card system, and then test your team and skills in ranked online matches for rewards, XP and more. Your cards can be modified in a number of ways. Merge cards to make stronger cards, re-name, and customize every player in your deck to make the team you want to compete with.
PLAYER UPGRADES – Strengthen your roster by improving players via Practice Mode and earn rewards via daily and weekly challenges – yes, we’re talking practice.
ONGOING CONTENT – Launching into Early Access, Maximum Football will continue to expand with future content being rolled out regularly.
FRANCHISE MODE (Pro Level – Coming Soon) – Play through a professional season against 31 teams, all going head-to-head for the championship. Hit the field and lead your team to glory.
