Maximum Football Acquired by Modus Games : New Game Coming Soon!

by Leave a Comment

After it was announced earlier in the year that Canuck Play, the company behind Doug Flutie’s Maximum Football, had ceased operations, it seemed as though the Maximum Football series would sadly be no more.

It has now been revealed that Modus Games has officially acquired the Maximum Football series, however, with a new game already in development and said to be returning soon.

The next game in the series is being developed by Gamecan and FUN Labs, with the promise of a completely rebuilt gaming experience featuring fresh graphics and visuals, all new character models and stadiums, and improved on-field gameplay.

Christina Seelye, CEO of Modus Games, had the following to say about their plans for the future of Maximum Football:

“We are looking forward to taking an already dynamic sports game and putting our stamp on it… We’re working to build on the strong foundation and feature set of previous Maximum Football games, while adding community requested features and mechanics to build the ultimate football sandbox experience.”

No official release date for the next Maximum Football game has yet been confirmed.

After introducing The W as a brand new game mode in NBA 2K21, 2K Sports has continued to keep pushing women’s sport forward, unveiling Candace Parker as their first ever female cover star, and now coming back even bigger and better for NBA 2K22, with an all-new badge progression experience as well as introducing three new playable off-day experiences (scrimmages, team practices, and contact workouts).

The W Online returns to NBA 2K22 for both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles, with the WNBA mode featuring more ways to experience the league both on and off the court.

Felicia Steenhouse, Senior Producer at Visual Concepts, had the following to say about The W:

“Since introducing The W to NBA 2K, we’ve set out to develop one of the most comprehensive sets of game modes and features focused on a women’s professional league. It’s grounded in authenticity and delivers an experience that honours and elevates some of the best ballers in the world: the women of the WNBA.”

NBA 2K22 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles will be released on September 10th.

FIFA and eFootball Face Some Fresh Competition?

by Leave a Comment

After the announcement of Goals the other week, it seems that FIFA and eFootball will soon have even further competition, as another new football game has now been announced at Gamescom 2021 in the form of UFL.

They’ve already partnered with West Ham United, they’re sponsoring the incredibly exciting Hashtag United, and despite having revealed very little about the game itself so far; they’ve already created a huge amount of hype around the release with their “fair to play” tagline.

UFL will be free-to-play, the game will run on the Unreal Engine and Strikerz Inc. are definitely making a bold statement with their aim to change the world of football simulation forever.

If you want to learn more about the game as soon as new information becomes available then I’d definitely recommend registering your interest at their official website now.
