Features questions

[ILOVEFOOTBALL]

Does this game have in-game menu showing how to control all possible moves (button mappings, etc)?

Does this game support xbox controllers?

Does this game include user win/loss records and any other lifetime gameplay stats?

Can the camera angle be adjusted? Of so, how many angles are there. I’m hoping for a sideline (tecmo style) angle.

Can multiple seasons be played where the cpu handles all the franchisey, team mgt junk?

Can zoom in/out be applied to the cam angles? In real time?

Is your selected team(s) highlighted in the various stats screens when playing thru a season?

Can the moves be re-mapped and/or are there multiple button controller configurations to choose from?

Can we edit team names, colors, etc, to make the league look like NFL, or are all team colors and names preset?

Thanks. Looks like a cool game. But really need a sideline angle. Yes I’m a Tecmo junkie :)

Watched some videos. Cant find anything showing menus. Its just all redundent gameplay footage.

The cam angle; seriously… top down, upfield.. thats it???

The field should AT LEAST be tilted, ie move the camera a little behind the QB, so we can see UPFIELD a bit more. Football games on Sega Genesis and SNES from 20+Yrs ago were able to do this. Or at least add a sideline view. I get it; topdown is oldschool, retro. OK… but those old school retro Football games had better camera angles than this game. If your gonna lock us into 1 cam angle, straight up field, top down, at least tilt that field a bit so we can see further up. Would help give a little more depth perception. Yeah… i cant hang with any top down view anymore.

Already lots of mods for it too, including current NFL.
Honestly, your best bet for information (and mods) for this title is its discord:

Thanks for all this info. This is a PASS. Devs.. please update the cam angles. Up-field only is lame. You have a side line "spectator" angle. Give us CONTROL using that angle.

The camera angle isn't going to change. If that's really your only deal-breaker, then you should probably change that profile name,

One less person complaining about something before they've even tried the game likely won't be missed.

As petty as it is, I have to admit that the camera angle has been a legitimate deal breaker for me. I can't put my finger on it, but there's just something about the wannabe-Madden view that really, really doesn't do it for me. Especially with retro football.

But like they always say, "If you don't like it, don't play it". So I don't.

Ironically, it's a callback to the angle from retro football games. Tecmo Bowl wasn't the only one, in fact that's probably an outlier when it comes to the on-field perspective of those games.

The old Madden games as well as titles like Joe Montana Football all featured a top-down perspective. LB simply does what it says on the tin, provides a retro-football game experience. Whether it's the specific experience some people want is another matter, however.

But your last line pretty much hits the nail on the head. People are free to grab another football game if they don't like it; I'm sure there are plenty of other options in the market.
