The Future of Axis Football - 2017, 2018 and beyond.

[Axis Games]

Hi, folks!

I wanted to make a quick video discussing our plan for updates to the 2017 version as well as our goals and vision for the identity of the franchise for the future.

Sounds good. I still play 2015 from time to time. Hopefully 2016 lands in a bundle and I'll grab 2017 when it's 50% off as it's too rich for my blood at the moment with my volume of unplayed games. I think a big selling point for a future version would be online multiplayer.

I appreciate the video and have been a supporter of the game every year. Unfortunately I think that support is going to have to move to maybe every other year depending on how much actually gets put into this years game.

Not ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ or moaning just stating a fact. I know it takes alot time especially for a small team to build something like this but just every year it seems like the answer to every question on the forum is well we are working on that for next years release.
I get it, its hard and takes time and I know $20 is not alot of money but there comes a time when we have to start asking for a bit more to be done with each release and the only way to do that is to vote with our wallets.

I really do want to see this game succeed as there has not been a serious football PC game in a long time but in the video there is mention of console development? I sure hope that does not even start until the game on PC is MUCH further along as a PC football game is what we have been sold on for the last few years.

I will play this years release and see how much actually gets put in and remain hopeful.

Good luck!

You mentioned on the video that entire season individual player stats keeping is a feature your team are looking to add. So it may not make it on Axis 17? So, whats a franchise mode with out individual player stat keeping available? Oh how I want this game to succeed but I agree with Stardogs comment. And for all of you lovers out there, I am not comparing this game to Madden. I am comparing it to Maximum Football for their advertisement delivers.

The stat tracking is coming this year. Next update which should be soon.

Bought the game to support your development of it. The world needs a football sim.

Things I would like to see..

1. Depth Chart subbing should be for formation and not affect global position.
2. Improved passing mechanics/defensive mechanics.
3. Work on the scrambling QB mechanics. Big part of modern football.
4. Better Stadiums/Stadium management options in Franchise (increased management and football operations in the franchise mode)
5. Continue to tweak the physics/animations/player models. I believe more could be done on that end, and that would likely improve sales. (Based on the games resource team/allocated budget etc..I fell you have done an adequate job, but improvements could be made)
5. Play book customization or expanded playbooks.


There are more but the budget I assume you guys to be working with can only afford so much time and resources to go into this. I am very happy to have a Football Sim at all on the PC. Honestly I refuse to buy a console just to get Madden. So kudos to the Axis team and thanks for the effort you have already put in.

A play creator/editor I think ought to be high on the list of features. This is a PC platform driven(!) game, so I think it would be nice to have that kind of feature that buttresses its open platform.

If Vince funded this game to use the XFL brand. Hmmmm. Long as Axis don't have to change anything except for the XFL branding everywhere I would take it.

I would love to see something put in for home field advantage and on the road disadvantage. Perhaps teams with better records get a stat boost when playing home. Even better would be if a team that plays in an outdoor stadium is from a colder part of the country and a team from a warmer climate or dome stadium has to play in inclimate weather they get a stat skill penalty.

Anyway just thinking outside the box. Great work guy's! Keep it up! Think outside the box and focus on Franchise!

So this is an early access game with a yearly subscription fee?
