A new lax game would be awesome on current consoles, it’s getting so rough to play the Powell ‘18 game in 2024. If you have to partner with a major developer, might want to avoid EA and aim for a company that focuses on quality/player experience rather than maximizing profits (ultimate team modes, micro transactions, ignoring or even removing offline modes that aren’t profitable to the company, etc). College football is coming back, let’s bring lacrosse back to gaming too!

[@JamesL0731]

Bro fr. Im trying to use current rosters and I have to make em and it takes forever. We need a new game it would be awesome

[@Thenextvertex]

Most def avoid EA 😂

[@Durp_doo]

Is it on xbox

[@JamesL0731]

@@Durp_doo what cody powell 18?

@@Durp_doo yea

[@bengoodfellow2132]

As a lacrosse fan from the UK an established lacrosse console video game would have a massive impact on the spread of the PLL brand. Makes the league so accessible even if you’re not willing to stay up till 3 am to watch games live.

[@seb1500]

Soooo true

[@JRC_6]

I’ve been waiting for something abt a video game, I would love it so much

[@SunsFan1234]

It would be awesome you could get PLL2k or something like that where you can build your own teams and have play able players. Thank you for everything that you’re doing for lacrosse.

[@carsonadams4861]

We need a video game asap!!!

[@GoldenNuggetLax]

Would purchase immediately.

[@travisschieber]

These podcasts are great with the brothers

[@declanfitzgerald3667]

I would 100% play that game and so would everyone at my school. It would help spread the word about the pll in a creative and exiting way. You guys should definitely invest in the project

[@PaulyB77]

Thanks so much for answering my question! That makes alot of sense, and hopefully gives hope to those who don’t get drafted to keep getting after it and be ready for their opportunity.

[@lax_nuggets_.]

YES Pls make a video game!!!

[@kythegoalie]

I need some Beans merch! 🫘 But the Archers are my squad 🏹🎯

[@gangstacaller]

Been waiting for this hopefully we get Paul and kyle harrison as playable characters👍🏾💯💯

[@KiNgK3513]

If it happens I’m getting it. Would also like the colleges to be involved though.

[@Austin-jm8oj]

Goalie mode has to be a thing! Us goalies and others would love to play between the pipes in a PLL game!

[@arrowbladez1922]

I've been waiting for somethin like this ong

[@NoToBigBro]

Hopkins and Cuse top 3 ranked. All is back to normal in the lacrosse world. Coach Bill Tierney to PLL. 👏

[@bradadult2075]

EA already has the gameplay they should be the same as the NHL controls

[@Zbone254]

Dude I would love a Mycareer for a lax game

[@GunSlanga]

Hopefully and also add more expansion teams

[@matthewamato3534]

I think if you could find a partner that would be willing to crowd-fund a FIFA-style PLL game, it could reach the mark and also leaves both parties with a lot less risk. IMO if you are going to make a game, it should be a simulation-style game. A lot of sports fans, even those outside lacrosse, have been craving a good simulation-franchise mode which none of the major titles are providing. I know myself and TONS of people have gotten into European soccer in America because FIFA was so good when they first played it. You could even invest in sports-gaming influencers to try it out and push it to the massive simulation-sports fandom that may not intersect with Lacrosse but would play the heck out of the game. I acutally think a PLL lacrosse game is much more than a financial investment its a massive investment in the popuarity of the league and sport. The biggest key there is finding the right partner that is going to make a good game & seeing if the masses would help support it via crowdfunding.

[@thegamers2463]

So are you saying that the way a player is drafted is by the coach sending tape? That answer wasn't clear to me

[@FatTony_Football]

Would NLL be willing to co-invest? It would be best to have field & box all in one game anyway. A career mode where I can work my way through college and then get drafted into the PLL & NLL would be INCREDIBLE!!

[@11thomasalex]

For name choices “Roll woods” hit right off the back and had similar “smoking” vibes that wound up being popular… Future names or locations Minnesota Seattle Both are MUSTS

[@TimothyScamp]

I think the PLL gets lost on ESPN because there are soooo many sporting genres and games....need to do what the MLS did on Apple +, go there where you would stick out. Plus get Vision Pro cameras close to the field and provide something special for lacrosse. You need to differentiate yourself from every other sport out there. (Assigning cities to teams seemed like a step backward when there aren't many teams to start with.)

[@VirtualAmericanHockeyLeague]

Atlanta Peaches

[@11thomasalex]

Make it similar to 2k and NHL!!

[@d.vecchione1734]

The PLL and the NLL should work together and create a video game with the two leagues in it.

[@garretkomjathy]

Beans should be one of the team names for the eventual PLL Celebrity All Star game! Sixes format mixed of celebs and retired pros

[@reLAX-RG]

I'd die for a (College-) Lax Manager game, where you can manage both, men and women.

[@Tyreseneilli]

🔥

[@Mvproszn]

We need a team in Cincinnati

[@user-je5rt2rd8t]

Bro I always think about this

[@Supershorts181-um1cn]

Make the beans a team

[@GraniteSDC]

This is what the sports gaming market wants. There’s easily enough demand/cash flow for a studio to partner w PLL and develop a quality console game.

[@robliefeld2646]

Whatever ends up happening, please let it be on PC as well. EA refuses to put EA NHL on the PC despite the community asking for it for almost two decades.

[@brianr4054]

I would like to see a Jim Brown movie, that would be good exposure for Lax

[@JM-uh1rp]

I’d definitely buy it as long as care and thought is put into it and not just micro transactions and a battle pass

[@officialcl1p1]

make a videogame come on now! so many lacrosse players will play it and buy it if its like 30-40 bucks. Plus if people start playing it that dont play lax they might go to pll games and buy stuff from PLL! Lets make it happen!

[@11thomasalex]

[@EricEmanVidsCoval]

AVOID EA. WHATEVEVER YOU DO AVOID ELECTROIC ARTS PLEASE.

[@manilovefrogs__8842]

PLL would be more fun that NHL tbh

[@ianpararas1613]

Bring the NY Lizards into the PLL!

I lived out of one for A Month w the IRS in Philly , Revenue Agent until I had to Learn Yet ANOTHER Method of Depreciation. Lol. And , A boom. Lol.

[@adamgeigerjr6995]

if we get a lacrosse video game, please let it be serious and not some NBA street style chaos fest ... that type of game only sustains people for so long compared to more simulation experiences. If you want it to actually have longevity, I'm telling you from tons of video game experience, DO NOT GO CARTOON, GOOFY OR CRAZY

[@necrophage12]

Yes as some people have been saying. Avoiding EA and other greedy microtransaction and loot box driven games. It has ruined sports games with lazy low-quality production.

[@stevennuzzo2356]

Would the game be called "MLL REBOOT"? You lost a lot of fans with your East Coast lacrosse bias. The 2 best college teams are located in the Midwest yet no PLL teams. My kids are now disinterested in the PLL.

[@Stumpo-ew8lx]

I think they purposely started in all the east coast and west coast hotbed's first. It sounds like Chicago will get a revived Chrome team. Oh and before you mentions the Archers they just won the championship so they can't rebrand them. That brand doesn't work as good in Ohio as it does in Utah and Utah has been a good location when they have come there. They have a college team there as well the Utah Utes.

[@kythegoalie]

If it happens…I’m getting it! 🥍💨
