Axis Football 2015

I am so happy that we have got not only an american football game on pc but that we have devs that are open to any suggestions you make. The game is fun for what it is and the game will be fully moddable in the future just basic mods available now. For now don't expect a full simualtion football game just expect a fun arcade style game in the vein of Tecmo Bowl with an innovative passing feature that can only get better with time. Support this game and lets see it grow.

Alright so, lets all keep in mind this is not a Madden game. With that out of the way, lets begin on what this game currently offers, plans and needs. Keeping it quick and simple: 1. Passing is rough, its much easier to run currently as they can basically pick you off quite easily 1 on 1, as you can on defense. 2. Running is very fun, however they need to add some of Maddens ideas such as, Hitstick, Stiffarm, Spin and overall more balance towards all running styles Offensive and Defensive. 3. The rubberbanding that currently is in-game will I am sure be fixed sooner later, however it really causes some issues when your playing the game, mostly on offensive side however it makes it rough to make plays on defense aswell. 4. The AI on passing is amazing, AI QB's are very accurate and this not only causes issues because they can just bomb it everytime if they wanted, they can hit their screens very quickly on the move with 95% accuracy. This should be looked into as it can unbalance the ...

I love football and was excited when I saw there was an American football game on Steam. I stopped playing VERY quickly. The play selection is basic at best, the control is stiff and janky, the menus are glitchy on high resolutions, the visual presentation is on-par with games from 2007, and the sound assets are absolutely horrible. There's no crowd noise, no music and the announcer sounds like a 1940s radio announcer with really bad, cheesy lines. The only redeeming quality I can think of for this title is the aimed passing, which is neat. Don't buy this game just because you're jonesing for football like I was.

I was very excited for this game being the first 3d american football game on steam but i was dissapointed. I bought this game thinking it was a buy once and thats it but after asking the dev he says it will be yearly (like madden) the stroe paged metioned new graphics and a franchise mode (dont be fooled this wont be till the 2016 version another 20$) the season mode is terrible and basic and there is only to modes that and a quick game. the physics are terrible and graphics mediocre .If this game was a buy once game i would recommend it because of all the great ideas they have but if you want the better features you will have to wait till the 2016 version comes out (another 20$) i am very disapointed.

This game is far from being a full release game which unfortunatly at the moment is the case for a lot of even AAA games. This is at best an early access pickup, so if you are looking for a well polished football game this is defenetly not for you. It does have potetial and if the developers offer it the attention it needs and are not in it just to make a quick money they can do something interesting with it. Pros: 1) The manual aiming of passes is an interesting idea 2) I absolutly have to mention the names of the teams which have nothing to do with the NFL teams like the Indianapolis Broncos, Seattle warhawks, Kensas City Indians and the fact that the teams are from the exact US cities is just clearly a coinsidence :) 3) It has gamepad support which works fine with my 360 controller Cons: 1) Totaly unpolished: - the tackles and player movements are not even close to real - there are a lot of rules missing (holdings, interference etc) - but at least they make fun of that in the comm...

Its great to see a football game on PC!!! that being said.. this game has a lot of issues the dev always says will be fixed for their "2016 version" instead of updates that need to happen for his current verison. Things like a kicker easily hitting a 65 yard FG every time for AI or not having 4 quarters for a football game... I love seeing a football game on steam but "wait til 2016 version" Is not acceptable from the dev for things that should be included now it has me giving a thumbs down. I would say to not give into their kickstarter for their 2016 edition until they fix the issues plaguing this version. I will be happy to turn this review into a positive when these core issues are fixed by the devs. At such an early stage in a franchise it is definately not a good sign they are going the way of EA/Madden with "wait til next years version for this basic feature".

*Updated* With more play time I have come to realize this game is great for what it is. Didn't experience some of the bugs others have mentioned. Little hard to pass but I've gotten use to it. I actually like the fact I can throw away the ball since I have control. Overall its playable and works for what it is. Yes this game needs a lot of work but with more support it'll get there. Don't buy this and expect a Madden or 2K experience. If you buy it make sure you read the description and see what the devs are planning. They know its not where we want it to be so no need to tell them. RIght now this game has LOTS of potential but needs the support to help it develop and grow.

Ok I’m fully supporting these devs because this is really the only way that we are likely to get a good football sim on the PC. EA has exclusive deals with NFL and NCAA and will never port to the PC. MS is trying to make make exclusive deals with 2K so that they can have sports games exclusive to xb1 and MS10. In addition It looks like MS is trying to start yet again their own distribution network for the PC that will only run on xb1 and MS10. I don’t like this environment where you are being forced to buy a console or upgrade an OS just so you can play games. If you are like me and don’t like the way this is going then you need to support indie developers like this who are really trying to make a difference. With that said I have played this version and it is rough when compared to titles created by EA and 2K. Lets face it those guys have massive resources and they get massive support from the console makers as well. This developer is small with very little recourses...

Finally an American football game on Steam! And yet, this review, at best, is a neutral review. Don't get me wrong, it can be entertaining! And I dont regret the purchase. And the dev is great! Very friendly, and seems really dedicated to the game. Its just so....lacking. Literally. I'll list the cons first, then the pros, to end the review on a good note! The season mode feels so basic. There is no stats, schedule, nothing. In fact, it feels more like it just randomly generates a matchup to play after each game played. To show what I mean by generating a matchup after each game, this is an experience I had in my season. I was the New England Volunteers( New England Patriots, fyi) and I had to play the New Orleans Crusaders( New Orleans Saints.) I played them as the road team, on, Week 4. On Week 6, I again played the Crusaders, in the Crusaders stadium. The endzones had the Crusaders name in both games. One was played in clear weather, the next in the rain. Next, the playbooks. ...

Like many reviewers said, this is NOT MADDEN. It's a solid Indie effort which currently highlights a great aimed passing feature. Pros: - All 'official' pro cities represented but for obvious copyright reasons, I thought the dev was very clever with each team name. You will have no trouble identifying each game team's counterpart in the big leagues. - As mentioned before, the aimed passing feature - on easy, the AI is too easy but seemed to get challenging on the harder levels Cons: - On all levels AI needs a little more beefing up. Have AI adjust to player's preferential play style during the game which would force the player to quit using plays that 'always work' *Rather than list the below items as 'Cons', I understand the game is still being developed so... Needing: - At 1920 x 1080, I feel the status bar gets 'in the way' of the view during the receiving portion of a kickoff or punt return. A way to alleviate this would be to get dev to move the bar down a little bit. Ha...
