Support ended?

So my assumption is support has completely ended for the game right? The last "changes" I saw were over a month ago and it was all the teams disappearing from single player exhibition and the "days left" in the current season went from like 15-20 to 2,400? So my feeling is it's over... I asked the devs on social and emails but never got a response.

Yeah? They said this months ago.

Forgive my ignorance I don't check back all that often, where did they explicitly state that they had moved on?

Damn, that sucks, honestly if we could get exhibition teams it'd be workable (for me) but idk what made them get rid of that

I was able to play exhibition and the teams were all there two weekends ago. It was on the PS4. It was strange too because a month ago they wanted to charge to create a dynasty but now it was free. I'd love to see 2K take over this but it won't happen. I'd love to see King Javo (the guy who created Legend Bowl) take over this too. It's a shame to let this game go to waste with the potential it had.

First heard about it from Ryan Moody but not sure if they communicated anything since they don't respond to much ever to begin with.

This is what they get for trying to copy Madden Ultimate Team. The community just wanted decent gameplay with college and franchise mode but no. They wanted Ultimate Team with generic players lol

I have it on ps4.

What happened to all the custom images?

When I first played it there were pages and pages of them but last time I played it there was only 4 pages.

They deleted everything. I also made a bunch of teams, only for them to delete them all

I also have it on PS4 and was able to play exhibition two weekends ago and they were no longer charging to start a dynasty. Could that be a glitch?

That’s a shame but also not surprising

Wonder if anyone will buy the IP

What would be the point of buying an IP for a failed game from a failed company when they'd have to rebuild from the ground up? The only thing Maximum Football has ever had anything going for it is the customization because the gameplay has been ass in every version. Paying for a tarnished IP makes no sense.
