A free kick cannot be done with a tee. Someone has to hold the ball (like on a PAT or FG). But there is no defensive rush.<br/>

RE: What Maximum-Football Could Have Been

<t> Two of the things we did with our "NFL Strategy" league was manually keep play-by-play logs (using a different colored pen for each team, with a huge set of league-approved abbreviations and notations, etc.), then create boxscores from the logs like we would see in the newspaper after an NFL ...

RE: What Maximum-Football Could Have Been

<t> Wow, I did basically the same thing back in the '80's with my C64, after I moved away from my hometown and didn't know anyone that was interested in playing NFL Strategy (I was on my 4th version of the game by that time).<br/>

What Maximum-Football Could Have Been

<t> I've only been aware of Maximum-Football since just before it was initially released in 2006, so please bear with me as I ramble a bit about how MF could have been the perfect game for me if it had been designed a little differently (or, maybe, not changed from its original design).<br/>

RE: An oddity

If the defender recovers the football in the endzone and never establishes possession in the field-of-play (i.e., never leaves the endzone), it should be considered a touchback.

RE: Active X Component Can't Create Object

<t> Assuming you have Windows XP (and maybe it still applies if you don't), I have an answer for this, but you probably won't want to read it. I had this same problem when I installed the original version of the game back in March 2006.<br/>

RE: Error 1904 on install

If I understand your post correctly, elmerlee, you have to install the patch (or complete install) for Version 2.0 before you install the 2.2 patch.

RE: Maximum-Football 2.2 Update (March 15, 2008)

Would this be similar to how a great player like Deacon Jones of the Rams isn't on the list of greatest sackers because this wasn't an official stat in the NFL until late in his career?

RE: Net Yardage issues

In the NFL and in US college football, the net yardage is the sum of the net passing and net rushing yardage. Kick yardage and kick return yardage is not included.

RE: Un-retire Player?

I remember playing FB Pro 98, and having a young star HB who had great ratings and rushed for over 1,500 yards his second season. He "retired" after that season. Maybe he was a Ricky Williams clone.
