Maximum Football 2018 General Control Layout

Hi Everyone.

Today I'd like to speak a little about the control schemes in Maximum Football.

For the most part, players playing last year's Canadian Football 2017 picked up the control settings in game pretty quickly. But we did get multiple requests to make a few changes along the way. For example, in July, when Canadian Football 2017 was launched, the (Y) button was used to call a Time Out. We were asked to move that functionality to the Pause Screen and get it out of the way, so in October, we made a significant change to how the Time Out process worked and moved the button to the pause screen.

When compared to football games of the past, Maximum Football has two major considerations to account for when it comes to the control scheme;
  1. Different Rules: Unlike every other football game ever released on consoles, we have to account for a very different rule set. Being able to accommodate a full 6 receiver set (rather than just 5) means that some buttons for QB control needed to change.

    The ball snapping process is different to accommodate different motion rules.

    Kick return controls are different to accommodate different kick rules.

  2. Common Control Layout. We need a common control layout that is works on all platforms.
But even with that said, for Maximum Football 2018 we're making a few changes to the control scheme, not only to accommodate this years new features, but also work with the lower button count.

Maximum Football does not have a 1:1 feature match to previously released titles so some functionality will never match, but from a high level, where features are the same (or close to it) and it can be made to work within the rule differences, controls are generally similar to previously released titles. 

For example; In 2K8 All Pro Football, the 'Tackle' button was (X), in Maximum Football 2018, the Dive Tackle button is (X). In Maximum Football it's not required to push a button to tackle, you can simply collide your controlled defender into the ball carrier. Also in 2K8 All Pro Football there were separate buttons for Defend Pass, Block Pass and Attempt Interception ((Y), L1, R1 respectively). In Maximum Football 2018, pressing the (Y) button will cause the defender to try and knock down the ball and if possible try to intercept it.

Below are the controls for various areas of the game for 2018. For the sake of this post, the face buttons are indicated as XBox One / PC controllers, the PS4 uses the button in the matching position;
(X) = Square, (A) = Cross, (B) = Circle, (Y) = Triangle, (Start) = Options

  2. David will there be full American rules and playbooks this year? When I'm playing U.S. rules I don't want the "illegal motion" of the Canadian rules.

  3. Hi David , recently purchased the game and I’m loving it ! Especially the physics! Was just wondering if you could polish a few things in a patch . Such as
    1. The QB only throws the ball correctly in the right direction, meaning his throwing motion & feet are completely off sometimes . Which kinda hurts a big play .

    2. Could you expand on the equipment editor. Such as let players edit what gloves , & or wristbands the players wear . This would be ALOT of help for the customization options .

    And lastly

    3. Could you have it to wear we can get the logos on the side of the helmets ? (& MAYBE center field) .This would add a definite pro/college football feel . As teams are normally always represented on the helmet .

I didn't believe it at first until I decided to reach him through the mail address attached to the post. To my greatest imagination, it was real. Right now am living up to a standard I never used to live before. Today might be your lucky day!
