Varsity High School Football Video Game in Development - Here's What We Know So Far

[Rainey]

Very interesting stuff. I know still incredibly early, but it does sound fun. I do wonder if they will be able to support the crazy amount of offenses the high school level uses. For example this season, the team I coach was running plays out of a diamond set (4 WR one side, 1 to the other),and we played against teams that were using the wing-T.

With that said, we've accomplished a lot since February. We are a team of 7 at the moment and all aspects of the game are being worked on. Lots of gameplay, stadium art, and player generation this month. We are an open book and happen to answer any questions you guys have. Don't have an ETA on a release date but we are hoping to have a beta/early access out end of next year.

I'm late to the party, but oh my!!! This is exciting news. I thrust Spear with the development and sharing of info. I cannot wait for this.

Separate classes.

Schools are different and unique based on the city/town they are in. We are using the city/town census data for player generation in combination with the team data.

I don't mean to be negative, but I really do not see the draw to this. What will make this more interesting/different than say a college styled game or all the other BS games already on the market?

I could care less if there is some urban environments that looks like a highschool, or some cut scenes of kids walking down a hallway and stupid so called "immersive" crap like that. Having a real or fake stadium that seats 100 or 10 million fake fans that I can "upgrade" means nothing as well.

In highschool coaches get what they get, sure there is a little bit of "recruiting" so to speak...like maybe convinceing that really good kid who plays soccer to be your place kicker or something, but honestly, what is the real difference? Coaching in a video sports game is coaching in all video sports games. It's click this, pick that, wait for the engine to do it's thing and see the results. It's all the same as far as the "game" play of whatever sport the video game is about.

Give me/us real options, not just a spreadsheet of plays to pick through, or some dropdown list of players to put in this or that slot. Boring and way over done.

I need more!

Off the top of my head...
Can I create my own custom school and be the Athletic Director? Or at least just create a custom school?
Can I hold a QB or other position camp for kids around the country that could improve my schools prestige and increase enrollment?
Coaching skills that make sense and don't break the mechanics?
Can I attend or send my other coaches to seminars to improve my/their skills? Not just some point system where I click to improve this or that.
Can I make Halftime adjustments?
How about a pregame insperational speach system?
Can my star RB knock up his girlfriend and be kicked out of school?
Unisex players?
Rivalry games that don't just have a splash screen that says "Rivalry Game" Boooooring...
Practice that can give boosts or drops in stats and don't last longer that playing a game?

And so much more no other american football game does...

Just asking,
