Franchise mode info

[Vincenzo]

Hello, please let me know is in franchise mode - free agency, trade and salary cap ?
Thank you very much

Don't take what you read on the store page as anything set in stone. I learned this the hard way with last year's version that stated it had franchise mode. If the dev feels he doesn't have time to add anything listed he will put it off till next year's version. I've already have an active ticket with valves legal dept regarding false advertising. There are no disclaimers on the store page warning you about this, and this should be regarded as early access. Take what you read on the store page with a huge grain of salt. Nothing is guaranteed.

:) Ok thanks...I see there is draft. Its awesome, but franchise mode must have salary cap and probably free agency...with no salary and FA is not franchise...but draft sounds good...

This year you will have unlimited seasons like last year with the added draft players/ cut players at the end of the season. Player progressions have been added this year as well. The biggest new feature however is custom draft classes. You can make your own draft classes up to 50 years worth in this years game. 16 game seasons have also been added.

A very large portion of next years dev cycle will be focused on franchise mode.

First of all, thank you guys for supporting the game. We have released several YouTube videos discussing what the plans were for Franchise mode, and how they are limited. This dev cycle was primarly focused on implementing model interactions, more animations, and trying to smooth out gameplay. This years franchise mode is better than last years, and 2018's franchise mode will be completely revamped to include all the things that should be in Franchise mode like Salary cap, free agency, and so on... There's a lot of coding and troubleshooting tasks, and it's never been "We dont have time". It's always been "Damn, this messed the game up, we need to fix it ASAP" and that's what henders how much we put in the game.

If this is what we are left with for Franchise mode this year, it's distrubing.

Not really disturbing if you remember how small the team is and how very very little the budget is.

That's no excuse for $20, make it $5 until the game is 90% complete. It's like 35%

Im sorry but I request refund after 25 min...only draft in franchise, Rookie and PRo diff. is unusual...every kick off return ends with TD, hitbox is awful, players move is not fluent and make bad decisions etc...I can buy again but about 2-3 years later...I have madden with lot mods on PC...and it can beat most new games except 2KNBA...

Good move, I waited too long.

I mean I played worse from indies with way more budgeting and resources. What you should do is tell every crap game dev with millions to spend and resources to make their crap game $5 that are 2% 50% or even 100% complete . They are the ones with no excuse. Axis is nothing like those devs.

They are no different, selling the game in that condition.

Then make a football game so everyone can be happy. I expect your game to be better than madden and the best ai on earth. Do it all by yourself. You have 3yrs. Make it happen staring now! No excuse kickstarter and all. You can do it!

LOL..I'm not a software or game developer, but I can assure you I would'nt attempt it without the proper funding and software engineers to bring it to market in the right way, not prematurely.

Thats the thing with software devlopement ... It's never 100% complete. So the idea that Axis 2017 was release prematurely is purley subjective. The devs have been very up front and open about what this version would and would not have.

So it is being brought to market the right way. If you waited until every issue was fixed or added no game would ever go to market.

Some things you can overlook. I or must are not expecting 100%, most games have bugs, but this is ridiculous, the game is only at about 35% complete, many normal reasonable expected features are non-exsistant for a Footbal game,I can't play this game in it's current state, who here can run a franchise with no penalities..LOL. If you can, you have come to the right place. For me a total waste of money with it being deleted off my hard drive, it I knew ahead of time, I would have not made the purchase. The game may have potential, I don't pay for potential, If I can't play it now and I can't and it won't be fixed until next year, this is ridiculous for a game i just purchased. It's not subjective, it's a fact.
