Love the progress being shown. For a small development team, this is miles ahead of Madden.

[@Bryceeechii17]

I wouldn’t necessarily say that’s it’s miles ahead of Madden, it’s just different which personally I think is good and much needed in the football video game world. Competition is what we need to push developers to make better products every year.

[@mr.knightman2788]

Take time, do it right, ignore detractions, stay the course.

[@MikeHenry3280]

Only thing I hate sometimes is when someone gets caught from behind they kinda like stop on a dime and sometimes there is no forward falling sometimes they fall right in place.. I would like to see alil more leg tackles wrapping up around the legs or gang tackling... Logic is huge to.. Especially zone defense

[@TILLHOUSE]

Love to see it!

[@tigerpride736]

What up till! Love your content bro ✊🏾

[@jmarcguy]

Runners still a little too upright but everything else looks good!

[@Patty_C]

Patience my friend

[@brilla3744]

i can’t stop laughing at how they run since reading this comment.

[@joeharm8141]

I agree

[@joeharm8141]

U run like that in real like like a robot , Ur gonna get earholed

[@ZeekAudio]

Im getting CFB 25 but I’m still super excited for this game. Cant wait to try it out.

[@ADOS_DSGB]

The game is looking much better!

[@Ayotrickster]

i’m a little upset because the beta was supposed to come out in spring last year

[@SwiftAnimetionz]

DBs do not seem to know how to look for the ball

[@RVered]

The physics are the best I've seen in a football game (omg, the diving defender's left arm hitting the receiver's body 😵😵), but animations are still the core of any game, and I can't say that what I've been seeing looks good. The most basic animations, like running, look bad and have no momentum. I understand that motion capture is expensive, but I've seen many non-captured running animations that look much better. Please, don't neglect this part of the game.🙏🙏

[@merrakul894]

Looking better and better! Cannot wait to give this a try!!!!

[@soulfulinspirations4827]

Super hyped for this!!!!

[@t.m.g.jr.1387]

I'm not worried about the time you guys are taking to get it right! Keep up the great work!

[@scott9954]

Ready to play this!

[@gamerd8709]

amazing job guys

[@jamalwoods9649]

When is this fucking game coming out. Jesus fucking Christ!!!! Lets fucking go already got fucking damn.

[@Tyrone181]

1:31. Be patient.

[@jamalwoods9649]

I'm tired of being patient

[@gsephoenixreign1665]

Excellent work! Can’t wait until you can reveal the release date for early access!!

[@tigerpride736]

KEEP COOKIN!! 🔥🔥

[@NiceDiggz]

I'm so ready to play this

[@Gingerbred_Hed]

Please add house rules options. I want to manipulate the points system to my liking. I want to add a point for interceptions, fumble possessions, and normal sacks. Giving the defense more chances at gaining points.

[@evil_2539]

Looks good mane

[@worknout]

Fix the tackling animations they go down way to fast and it should be a fight to tackle someone strong not just a animation playing out.

[@jaredcheeseman5081]

hyped

[@bigtubgaming9806]

Looking good 💯 let's go Max!!!

[@cazualsimgamer]

I'm not gone lie I'm hyped like mufuger 😂 can't wait but will wait for greatness I'm already liking what I see

[@ldent15]

I love it 🔥💪👍😎

[@wingingitwithbleep8934]

WOWWWWW! bruh WHEN does this drop! I need this right now!

I’m so excited for this but I have a question when is it releasing on the ps4?

[@CantRead1]

It is seriously sad that a small team has better ball and tackling physics than the Madden studio which has millions of dollers in their budget.

[@ohhhyeah9435]

Looks great! Been waiting since 2022… sucks it will prob be 2025 I will get to play on PS5

[@bigeatah_official]

Anyone know if there’s a release date?

[@hhh1200]

Physics, physics and more physics. I'm assuming it won't be available on PC?

[@Tyrone181]

It'll be on Steam.

[@AskAllFromYourself]

Great work, team. Please have a playable broadcast camera!

[@ivanggg141]

I hope the tackling will have some realistic physics to it. Why I personally didn’t like madden.

[@joeharm8141]

The game looks awesome, however the straight ahead running mechanics look too robotic. Other than that it looks good.

[@rooseveltfowler405]

When is it coming out for PS5?!

[@JasonTech96]

Same time it comes out on all systems. Be patient.

[@MikeHenry3280]

But he didn't mention console he just said steam which is pc isn't it

[@rooseveltfowler405]

Is the game on ps4

[@kalebkalengaming5341]

the animations look like axis football

[@kalebkalengaming5341]

but less janky

[@FatGary]

Dawg people will play this as it is right now any continued delay means you will be competing with ncaa 25 for people's attention yall need to release this ASAP

[@GridironMasters]

If that were true, every non EA football game would be doomed, especially anything less than AAA.

[@xTRUExiNsANiTYx]

@@GridironMastersI mean, how many non EA football games have become mainstream titles in the last 15 years?

[@GridironMasters]

@@xTRUExiNsANiTYx None, and the reasons for this are largely artificial, just like in other industries. EA does not have a natural monopoly on the market. The market is hostile, it has high barriers and high risk to enter and its cornered. Just like any other industry, it's not good. Then on top of that, it seems to me, the customer base almost polices the market on behalf of EA with their behavior. If every other genre were as dry as football, gaming would suck. Sports gaming in general is suffering from this but football is the worst. Notice that isn't the case with soccer though. People aren't as married to license and are willing to play games other than FIFA and PES. It's interesting to look at.

[@xTRUExiNsANiTYx]

@@GridironMasters so what you’re saying is: yes this game is doomed. EA’s delay gave maximum a full year to get a playable game out into the market and they couldn’t do it. Whatever they release now will be too little too late

[@GridironMasters]

@@xTRUExiNsANiTYx To compete at a AAA level but there is a minority of the market, clearly, that is open to other games. The indie/AA football market is fairly new. We are barely now getting viable games like Legend Bowl, Max, Sunday RIvals, Football Simulator etc. The belief that somehow max football would have been bulletproof had they only released earlier and now will be crushed by the weight of EA's yearly game doesn't make sense. The weight of EA is ALWAYS there and if it was so great, would have overshadowed Max anyway. So the implication of that argument is that max can only exist in the one year time frame of EAs delay. That's not a game, that's a flash in the pan capitalization. I can agree that releasing something earlier might have had some benefit, assuming the game was in the right state but the goal of max is to make a long term game, not survive off of market timing.

[@joeharm8141]

The running forward is too robotic & upright, needs fixing

[@ThatsJustEric]

Ea college football is releasing now. You guys waited to long

[@ViciousFoLife1]

This year? Alright OK

[@mobilefootballclips5877]

0:27 man there is no way the game is coded to where dbs will literally choose not to jump an easy pick. It’s been 4 years since y’all have released a game and this is what we get? Defense was already horrible in every previous maximum game

[@Mental_Health_God]

Your services are no longer needed..EA SPORTS CFB 25 is back!

This is a good alternative, remember this is free
