[font="Courier New"]Maximum FootBall:

Will it have Network play, between a large number of computers?

Can commissioners edit rookies, before they are drafted? Without having to create brandnew players, before their drafts? Can players be edited or drafted and not have salaries?

Can the rules of the different styles of FootBall be mixed during Network league and exhibition play? One-Set of rules for one-Team and another set of rules for another team and etc?

Can Money involvement (Free Agency, salary Cap and etc.) be turned off?

Can draft orders be changed before the draft? How many draft pics and players can teams trade?

Like Madden game, can players' performance categories be affected by the owners/coaches (human players) selection of proper activities, the players current situation in regards to their maximum career development in any of the performance categories and the players' performances in selected activities?

Can Teams be easily changed to newer teams? Is their a ton of cities, countries to select from? Are their more than just head coach named, for each team? Like F.P.S.: F.B.P. '98 can I change coaches' names, and passwords?

Can OLmen be moved all along the LOS, as long as their is a another position on the end of each side of the OLmen? I am so tired of this limitation, heck it is used all the time in High Schools and some times in CFB and rarely in NFL (Steve Spurior did it once-that I saw).

I just noticed in your FAQ webpage, does the fact that there are [qoute]teams for a default Canadian league of 10 teams, a US based league of 16 teams and an indoor league of 4 teams.[/qoute] mean that there will be uncompletely empty 16-more US based teams' slots and indoor league based 10+ teams' slots to be filled in? Or what?

I have more questions, I am sure, just cannot think of them now.

By the way the first few times, of each time I try to post threads on The Maximum FootBall message boards I told cannot load the window for doing so. As you can imagine in this world of limited time, it is very frustrating.[/font]

Dude, please read the FAQ.

[font="Courier New"]Shaggyra,

With all due respect I have read The Matrix Advertisement (for Maximum FootBall '2006), Maximum FootBall '2006 Main Website and the FAQ none of them address those questions.

The closest is the following:[/font]

[qoute]You mentioned salaries. Does the game have salary and player negotiations?[/qoute]

[qoute]At this time no. These items are included in the database for future use. However you can use them for on line leagues and create your own applications that use these fields. Currently there are no plans for the first edition of Maximum-Football to include player negotiations. Currently there is no facility for AI controlled player trades. Those features will be in Maximum-Football 2[/qoute]

[qoute]Along with the customizable rules, the game also allows for maximum options for players such as;[/qoute]

[qoute]Use of a given name and a jersey name . This allows use of nicknames on the jersey while maintaining the players given name.
Player salary & basic contract information.
16 individual ratings over and above things like height, weight and age.
A selection of facemask styles.
Player faces can be changed to include your own in the game. (graphics done via external editor)
Statistical categories for passing, rushing, receiving, special teams, defensive teams, etc…
Players can be created manually or automatically generated.
Others[/qoute]

[qoute]The single largest difference is the fact it allows for maximum customization of rules and game play. With Maximum-Football you can play traditional Canadian or American rules football as well as indoor rules, or create a custom combination based on the rules of each type of game. So for example you can play 3 downs on a small field with 12 players, no fair catch, a 2 minute warning and a 40 second clock. Or any combination of the following rules options;[/qoute]

[qoute]3 or 4 downs.
8, 11, 12 men per side.
Canadian, American amateur, American professional, or indoor playing fields
(150*65, 120*53, 50 * 85’ ).
Place goal posts at the front or back of the end zone with any field size.
Play clock times from none to 45 seconds.
Allow for unlimited back field motion.
1, 2 or 3 minute warning at the end of a half.
3, 5, 10, 15 or 20 minute quarter lengths.
Specify overtime rules.
Specify points awarded for Touch Downs, Field Goals, PAT’s, and Safety touches.
Specify points in standings awarded for wins, losses, and ties.
Allow for a ‘Rouge’.
Missed Field Goals can be live and returned for a touch down or called dead.
Allow for 2 point converts.
Specify locations to kick off and run 2 point converts from.
Ability to turn off injuries.
Ability to turn off after snap penalties (no holding for example). Time counts still apply if using the play clock.
Others...[/qoute]

[qoute]Customizable team items include;[/qoute]

[qoute]User definable league structures allow for unlimited numbers of teams in 1 to 4 conferences with 1 to 4 divisions per conference.
Each team can have its own playbook.
Can include special day jerseys. (Uniform graphics are be made via an external editor)
Numbers can be placed on shoulders or sleeves.
Depth charts are based on formations in the teams playbook allowing you to assign different personal to different formations.
A free agent draft system is included.
Others… [/qoute]

[font="Courier New"]I am not just asking about negociations. When I downloaded it, did not work with the computer, tried to create player and had salary field for created players.

Also, I am assuming Free Agent Draft System means all given Players put into one-League starting draft, not what I am asking.[/font]

I was wrong in my last reply to you. I stand in error and corrected, after I just found the almost all the information in a thread in this part of their message boards.[/font]
