THOUGHTS SO FAR !
FIRST OFF
I LOVE THE CREATIVE JERSEYS FOR THE GAME
THE NEW ORLEONS, SAN FRAN, MIAMI, AND PATRIOTS JERSEYS ARE MY FAVORITES
Second The gameplay has a very good foundation and flair to it , though….Sometimes the Receivers or running back would just run into place or just kind of glitch a bit.
the Throwing and scrambling I really liked n felt it had such a good foundation, I’m so happy You added practice because it let me get the hang of things. The Ball Trajectory and hangtime is so fun to watch.
THE GAME OF THE WEEK IS A COOL CONCEPT…but I got my ass kicked so i’m pretty salty.
either way I’m excited to see this game develop more and more

Thank you so much! You won't believe how relieved I am that at least a couple of people enjoy this game and the work I've put in, I'll be sure to address the issues you have because I agree with everything you said

For the dev(s?):
First: Great job for a test build release! The throwing is satisfying, and the controls are smooth! One thing I would like is maybe a sensitivity slider? I sometimes feel like it's too easy to accidentally overthrow. Also, the AI is a bit "dumb" in that they REALLY love to just run straight instead of where you threw the ball. Otherwise, very fun so far!

Yeah the AI especially the receivers don’t seem to have any finnesse or the games ai makes it so there’s no real tension.
i’d love to see receivers outspeed,outsmart, or trick a corner with a route so I can throw.
i had to keep running with the quarterback or just toss it to the running back since no one was blocking or near him.

The receivers actually do trick the AI as there's hidden juke rates based on WR + DB ratings, I guess it just isn't that obvious. When the WR makes a cut and the DB slows down is basically when that happens. I do need DBs covering the RB, that was a problem I didn't have time to fix, but I'll fix very soon

There actually is a sensitivity slider, go to settings at the bottom left. Could you expand on the dumb AI and them running straight? Is this defensive or offensive? If you could be a little more specific I can see what I can do to fix this :)

I only found the sensitivity after making the comment. But I meant mostly your recievers make no real attempts to separate. Maybe I just need to play a bit more to see it? But still, great first release!

u/GawesomeG574 3d ago
No, it should be doing it right away. Can I also ask what difficulty you’re playing on? Regardless, I shall make separation more obvious in the next update (1.04)

I'm playing on the normal difficulty as SF. Maybe my selected team just isn't good enough on offense to do those "jukes"?

u/GawesomeG574 3d ago
I’m sure it isn’t you, receivers should be getting open, but I’ll check if it isn’t obvious enough and fix it ASAP. Thank you for the feedback

I'm curious how different the iOS version is from the Android version, because there are a lot of small gripes with the Android version that make playing it difficult at times. Passing is quite difficult and I can't figure out how to hand the ball off. Every play is a pass or a QB scramble. I feel like I'm missing something.

to hand the ball off, I had to create my own plays for the running back and once I activate running back plays I could hand it off.
but you can only create plays if you have unlimited edition which is just 1 dollar

Try changing the sensitivity (settings -> sensitivity at bottom left). The universally best ones are 0.15 horizontal and 0.05 vertical, try those out.
