User-Generated Content and Football Games in 2016

[Sphinx]

This is a fantastic article. I really wish 2k would create a fully customizable football game, I could foresee some legal issues with allowing the content to be hosted on their servers. Something similar to what happened to ncaa football I would imagine could apply. I don't know the legal details of course and could be completely wrong and hope I am.

It would be amazing to have a game that the community can build up and support on their own. Madden needs competition to bring the game where it should be and 2k sports are the ones to do it. Their basketball is the sports game that all others should strive for.

Axis Football on PC is trying to do this, but it's an independent developer with pretty limited resources. The 2015 version of the game had some major issues and a Kickstarter for 2016 failed, but he is still in the process of developing a 2016 version.

I love this, and I would be the guy who would be up at all hours of the night trying to perfect the game.

"Combining Leagues

The ability to link leagues together, such as a college league running simultaneously alongside the NFL model, would be a revolutionary addition and great for immersion."

This right here is a MILLION dollar idea. And this is all I ever wanted out of a football game!

Good Idea, I would support it. If the gameplay is tight, we can have a building block for another football game generated by us.

Brilliant! Long overdue! Unfortunately I don't think it will ever happen.

Great stuff! This is exactly why I can't understand 2k's resilience to make a generic football game. With sharing creations, lack of authenticity (im sure brands couldn't still make it in creation wise but I'm sure 2k can use NBA 2k brands unless Madden causes exclusive restrictions on some if any) would be rectified. This is why I say they would have even more time to spend on modes too, while also having animations/trash-talk APF had that the NFL wouldn't allow, making the game more entertaining potentially. That's one small burden of having the NFL license that 2k doesnt have to deal with and really use to stand away from Madden even more.

How can one find mods for Don Bradman Cricket 14 PC mods; there's no Steam Workshop for it. Need some help on that

Hi Guys/Gals,

My name is Daniel C from Axis Games (The Marketing Guy), we're currently developing Axis Football 16 (part of the only sim football series on Steam). If you're looking for alternatives, I highly recommend you check us out!

We know that Axis Football 15 was not up to par of what a lot of the sim community was looking for! We do truly believe we are building something special though and while that will take time, we are in it for the long haul.

Please check us out on Twitter (@AxisFootball) or our boards (axisgames.proboards.com), we would love to hear your feedback.

I still think my biggest gripe with Madden 16 is the game's inability to produce realistic injuries. These are far too low in simmed games (multiple teams with ZERO injuries in Week 14?!??!), and are virtually non-existent for played games--100% so for players who don't come in contact with either the ball or ball carrier.

We need injuries to be realistic, otherwise there is no point in having depth on the OL and DL, for instance.
