According to a tweet from Baylin Trujillo, there is a sneak-peek trailer for Maximum Football 23. Below is the referenced tweet.
I think this game has a lot of potential. Fans of football games have been frustrated with Madden for the past few years, so maybe this will turn it around. This article from Sports Gamers Online dives into some features of the new game. Some of the features discussed in the article include real football physics, heavily focused on gameplay. The piece also talked about the element of customization for the user, including create-a-team and a logo creator.
Gameplay
The gameplay aspect is so hard to perfect for a “simulation game”. Obviously, with all the technology we have today, it’s possible to have a good game. However, not everyone will consider it perfect. There will always be haters. I think Maximum Football 23 will put in a good effort to draw fans away from EA in hopes of getting sales. Something other than an EA football game will certainly make headlines and may pop off. The question remains — can they execute?
Create-a-team
The creativity aspect in Maximum Football 23 sounds awesome for football fans, with Madden being so Ultimate team focused. People have been asking for years to bring some of the old create-a-team features back — EA did not comply. They’ve been out since Madden 12, and the generic relocation teams are the same every year. However, other games like NBA 2K and MLB The Show have allowed the creating of uniforms and brands, and people seem to enjoy it. Hopefully they give Maximum Football 23 the same reaction with their feature. I think this is a good move and EA should take notice. Teambuilder was an amazing aspect of NCAA, and I think this engine can be something refreshing. The article also mentioned in-depth recruiting battles and offering scholarships in their Dynasty Mode.
