    Canadian football video game almost ready for launch

    David Winter has been developing a Canadian football video game, called Canadian Football 2017, for X Box One and PS4 that I expect a fair number of ArgoFans members would be interested in. The game will cost $20. However, although there will be nine teams representing the 9 CFL cities, the game does not have a CFL license, so the teams do not have their CFL names. The Toronto team will be the Toronto Wild Hogs. The lack of a license could be a major stumbling block for sales.
    Below is an interview with video game developer David Winter.

    Been waiting for this most of my life, but unfortunately I don't have one of the systems its offered on. I can't believe the CFL wouldn't get behind this, especially since I believe they should've pushed for a creation of a CFL game a couple of decades ago.

    It sounds like they're concerned that the company is small and poorly-resourced and that the finished product would be amateurish. It might not be realistic for the league to insist on the involvement of a major studio, but a terrible game with the blessing/branding of the CFL might be worse than no game at all.

    I'm inclined to agree with Wobbler here.

    Something is better than nothing. Sound like there will be a PC version too.

    The article certainly doesn't make the league look good.

    Sounds like this is moving forward. If they make a PC version I will look into it.

    They've confirmed that they *want* to make a PC version eventually. I'd like something a bit firmer than that.

    OK, it sounds like they are pretty serious about it. Good!

    For the PC gamers out there, what's the general feeling towards GoG as a distribution system for the PC edition of 🇨🇦🏈17 ? Any major issues?

    One of the recent interviews that I read said that it was coming to Xbox One, PS4 and PC. In that order.

    Getting this game launched will be a massive step towards seeing an actual CFL licensed game in the future. I do not see this years game making it to PS4, despite want we have read.

    Just bought an xbox one s a couple of months ago (in large part due to the 4k player), so I'll definitely be buying this game.

    The information below about the 2017 version of the game is from their website that also has a Frequently Asked Questions section and legacy titles such as Maximum Football.

    Fast, explosive offensive action, we have it all in our Canadian gridiron simulation title that brings to fans everything they love about how Canucks have been playing the game for more than 100 years. That means 12 players, 3 downs, 20 seconds, and no fair catch eh. We are developing the title for console, desktop and mobile platforms including:
    As of spring 2016, we have a prototype of Canadian Football ‘17 running on an XBox One development kit. If you love the game as much as we do, join the conversation at Twitter or Facebook. ...


    Maximum Football




    In 2006 publishing under the name Wintervalley Software, we released Maximum-Football, the ultimate PC football arcade/simulation game. Maximum-Football allows the player to play North American football under Canadian, American, and Indoor rules. The game had a rich feature set, including an extremely sophisticated play designer, playbook editor, player career mode, and 3D game play, the game provides a full sandbox for your football fix. CD-ROM editions shipped with a 75-page full colour user guide. An early build of Maximum-Football was featured in the January 2004 edition of PC Gamer Magazine ( pg1, pg2 ).Maximum-Football 2.0 came out a year later with improved graphics, gameplay and a whole host of new features like full XBox 360 controller support, full DirectX 9.0 utilization, and scores of other upgrades and improvements, Maximum-Football 2.0 delivers on gameplay and fun like a bullet pass through double coverage. Like its predecessor, Maximum-Football 2.0 allows players to experience the thrill of managing a team in any league from pee-wee to all-pro. Players can get down and dirty with the editor to create new plays and playbooks, design uniforms and helmets, and select nicknames to appear on jerseys. Maximum-Football 2.0 has the features for everyone from armchair quarterbacks to head coaches. The game is available for purchase from Matrix Games. Please see screen images below.

    Canadian Football 2017 on STEAM

    Hello Everyone. So as many of you know by now, today we released our first official game play trailer. There are two versions, one on twitter and the slightly longer one you see on Facebook.

    Today I'm also announcing our plan to move forward with STEAM distribution for the PC. And this is where Canuck Play needs your help.

    Steam's GreenLight process means that only games that receive a certain number of votes can be accepted for distribution on that platform. So we need your votes and you can add your vote here;

    http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/…

    The more votes we get, the sooner we can bring you the game on your favourite platform. So tell your friends.

    Canadian Football 2017 is the first iteration of what we hope will be a long line of exciting football titles. The more support we get, the faster we’ll reach the goals everyone has for the game.

    Thanks
    David Winter
