It's a fun game that scratches the PC football itch, but it still has a long way to go. Firstly, I am blown away at how good this game is for being made by a small studio. That being said there are a few glaring issues that, if fixed, would make this game so much more enjoyable. 1) The AI is extremely bad. Watching two AI play against one another will really highlight the problem: decision making. The AI continually makes unrealistic decisions, some of which logically make sense but in a real game scenario would never happen, and some of which leave you scratching your head. An example of the former was when I was playing against one team which racked up several offensive penalties in a row close to their own goal line. They were backed all the way down to the 1 yard line for a 4th and 24 and still elected to go for it, in spite of only being down by a single field goal in the 4th quarter. An example of the latter was when I was observing two AI teams play against one another. The game was tied with under a minute to go in the 4th quarter and one team drove the ball all the way into the red zone. Their opponent made a 3rd down stop leading to the obvious decision of kicking a most-likely game-winning field goal on 4th down. Instead the offense opted to go for it on 4th and long which led to a sack and a turnover on downs. The other team subsequently threw a wide open hail mary pass to win the game. This leads me to the second problem. 2) Defense. This is the least fun part of this game and the most frustrating by far. Pass coverage is impossible to gauge as there seems to be little in the way of controlling when you intercept a pass vs when a tight completion is made. You can be standing on top of the receiver and they will still make a wild grab. Other times the AI corner will be a half yard away but will make an interception. When you do make an interception you are immediately tackled by virtue of the offensive player being right next to you, regardless of positioning. The AI also frequently blows zone and man coverage on long pass plays which is why the AI is so prone to throwing hail mary bombs when playing against itself; often one receiver will have a 10 or more yard lead on the nearest defender, leading to multiple 60+ yard touchdown passes per game. Finally there is the defensive line. It is boring to play D-line and next to impossible to do anything useful. As soon as you make contact with an offensive blocker, you are stuck to them like glue and unable to break free even when spamming the skill move buttons. I have found that occasionally doing so (and changing my defensive strategy to focusing on breaking blocks and stripping the ball) will allow me to slip by, but almost always the QB has enough time to throw the ball away or otherwise evade a sack. 3) General clunkiness. While catching on the run has been improved, there are still plenty of moments when an open receiver being led on a good pass will stop in their tracks or reverse their route to catch a ball, being immediately tackled. The run game is nearly impossible to play on offense as well, due to the fact that slipping tackles is extremely inconsistent and blockers usually are not present. When you do break free on a run, especially on a QB sneak, there is a huge chance you will end up fumbling the ball. I would love to see a few extra offensive features incorporated, including being able to cradle the ball for extra security when running, having a button with icon passing enabled that allows you to throw the ball away as the QB instead of being brought down for an easy sack or throwing a hasty pick, and maybe having a truck stick or similar option for when you can't break a tackle directly but that doesn't leave you immediately turning into a noodle when you touch a defender. 4) Customization opportunity. This game would thrive with the above fixes while also including some additional customizability. My biggest complaint is the inability to change team names and locations. If you do that, people can create whatever leagues they want to without the need for mods. I understand this flexibility is planned for a future Axis Football release so I very much look forward to that. Aside from these problems the game is extremely addicting. For far too long there have been no options for football games on PC and I believe Axis Football has a very good chance of breaking into that market in the main stream with their upcoming releases.

Fun arcade style football game with a deep franchise mode

Нормальных отзывов нет и не будет. Игра за бесплатно самое то, спасибо

i think this is much improved, getting tire of the madden circus though this year will be the last madden i get because of the madden voice overs missed him being in the franchise but that will be the last this is a nice alternative and the delopers i hope keep plugging away at it and make a truely great madden buster to a point that EA just gives up.
