Hi!
so i have been greatly enjoying football strat sims of late, ones old and new and I recalled there was a title at the matrix games store. Sadly Maximum Football 2.0 looks to be discontinued. I have been searching ebay for a while for it but no results ever.

Would there be still someone one can find this title? or any existing copies still somewhere? If someone has a copy i am interested in purchasing it! :)

Go check Legend Bowl, it's great fun playing as coach. Also check Sunday Rivals.

I haven't much of a clue about American Football except the very basics but I'm loving Legend Bowl.

yes i still cant get my head around all the rules and how exactly one determines the right play to use, but i am learning and its fascinating. Moreso the strategy sim football games rather than the action ones where i would control the player.

It is far more elaborate than the type of football i am familiar with here in australia, it has so much emphasis on executing plays perfecting and every little action has its own term and it seems like every little inch of ground fought for gets some recognition. It looks like an actually pc military strategy game being played out at times.

I have been playing some of the older games like Micro Sports "NFL Pro League Football" and 'Tom Landry Strategy Football' recently - there is a new version of the Tom Landry game on steam i found too called "Pro Strategy Football"

I tried Legend Bowl based on wodin's recommendation and tried to play it in Coach mode. I found the UI far too clunky and difficult, particularly with a keyboard and mouse. I only want to play in Coach mode. I am currently looking at Pro Strategy Football 2022 and am very tempted to try it.

Then you will enjoy Legend Bowl in Coach Mode

That's ashame. Mouse isn't used it's keyboard based. You do soon learn the key controls.

Sunday Rivals is bringing out a coach mode next update, maybe that would suit better. Again though shame you didn't stick with LB and learn the keys.

Are any of the American football games have real players? Not made up teams?

A quick mod and easy install makes Legend Bowl have proper real life teams.

Thanks wodin. I will keep an eye on LB. I may have been too hasty in dismissing it, but I was keeping an eye on my play time so I could refund it.

Actually Sunday Rivals also looks great fun. Maybe more accessible than LB. Also has a recent Coach mode. Check out the massive recent Playbook patch\update.

Many thanks again. The graphics on SR certainly look a lot better. The forum is quieter than LB's though. It is also not totally clear to me whether SR has a full coach mode?

Have you played both Jason? Which do you prefer playing as coach?

Once you get over the dated graphics, the gameplay and depth in Legend Bowl is very good. I play it in Coach mode with the NFL mod.

I don't have Sunday Rivals. I would be very interested in how that compares with Legend Bowl playing it in a similar way.

I love the retro graphics. Gives it a charm of it's own

Sorry, i am just going to post here again - just thought I will try again with the query whether anyone has a copy of Maximum Football 2.0 to sell, as I still cannot find it anywhere and for that matter cannot find much online on it overall. I prefer these older Football titles to the newer ones

am also looking for the 1993 edition of All American College Football by Dave Holt/ Micro Sports Inc, if anyone has that to sell too :)

Unfortunately, the late John Madden would have been the one to explain the game on Sunday afternoons for the average person. I only played school yard football and in the streets when I was young. As for coaching it, no clue, it�s a sport that requires for the most part, a learning environment under schooled experienced coaches whether as player or assistant coach. Most have played the game at some level. Tom Landry football was a good one, keep at it and you will find the plays that work

Question- do you guys watch the games on Sunday into Australia?

American football is not on tv over here in Australia, well not on free tv.I can see highlights on youtube, but i mostly am more interested in playing the old sports sims than i am actually watching current games, lol - though the highlights are interesting at least. I got an old guide to understanding American football and it is very helpful
