- Axis Football 2019 version 2.7 is LIVE! - 22 September 2020
Hi folks, I'm happy to announce that we've released Axis Football 2019 v2.7! This update had lots of game improvements and a few bugs fixes. Check it out! Game improvements Improved playcalling, specifically to balance the number of runs vs passes called by default Added the ability to switch defenders within the same defensive group (DBs, LBs, DLs) - use the left and right bumper on your controller when on defense Added an option in TEAM.TXT to specify how the team will handle run pass balance. Use the tags "PassingWeight" and "RunningWeight". These two numbers must be integers and combine to add up to 100 Added collisions to the goal posts, so field goals and PATs can now hit them and bounce off more realistically Added kicker power into the calculation of what it means to be "in field goal range" when the AI is deciding whether or not to kick a field goal Allowed kickers with high ki…
- Axis Football 2019 version 2.6 is LIVE! - 10 September 2020
Hi folks, I'm happy to announce that we've released Axis Football 2019 v2.6.0! This update addressed some gameplay issues and bugs. Here's a complete list: Game improvements Added custom playbooks via Mods/Playbooks folder. Check out some example playbooks and an excel sheet detailing more in that folder. Updated play calling to take score into account, not just down and distance. There should be fewer blowout games where teams continue to throw the ball when ahead. Added a delay to when offensive players will be notified of a fumble when it occurs behind the LoS, to mirror real life where the defense would have an advantage Added a 25% penalty to catching after a pass is deflected Reduced the amount of tackles broken behind the LoS, this was unnaturally high Bug Fixes Fixed a bug where dropped passes were counted in stats if there was a deflection earlier in the play Fixed a bug where…

Here's a complete list: Bug Fixes Updated penalty logic to be more reliable and consistent Fixed a bug where a turnover that resulted in a defensive touchdown would not award the score to the defense Fixed a bug where the wrong down and distance was shown on the decline option for pre-play penalties (false start, encroachment) Fixed a bug where the wrong accept/decline text was show for the penalty options on kickoff out of bounds Fix a bug where a penalty on against the offense on 4th down would not result in the defense declining the penalty to have a turnover on downs As usual, we'd love for you to join us on Discord with this link https://discord.gg/mCyGFnP - thanks for playing and helping out with Axis Football. Best, David
- Bug Fix Patch 2.4.1 - 15 August 2020
Hi folks, Quick patch here, Axis Football 2019 v2.4.1. This update addressed some pressing bugs. Here's a complete list: Bug Fixes Fixed a bug with with play call logic where the AI wouldn't go for the TD if they were down late Fixed a bug with penalty logic where defense was choosing to decline a penalty to allow a scoring play if it was 4th down (normally would be a turnover on downs if not a scoring play) Fixed a bug with penalty logic where the defense would not choose to decline a penalty if it caused a turnover on downs Fixed a bug where simulation of games / expert picks could end up with a negative score because of simulated missed extra points Finally, I rolled back the bug fix "Fixed a bug where declining a penalty on a scoring play didn't properly award the score". The "fix" for this bug was causing points to be awarded to the wrong team (thanks to user JaCrispy for pointing…

- Unknown Pleasures: The Incredible Sulk - 11 October 2019
They’re sending me to EGX next week. Playing games is one thing, but talking to people? Talking? With my mouth? The whole point of games is to stay indoors, damn it. I know how it’ll go, they’ll all be there playing proper games that normal people have heard of, and here’s me going “eh um, have you played Bees vs Cops II? It sold almost several copies”. Ridiculous. Anyway. It’s time for Unknown Pleasures , our regular, borderline masochistic dive into the depths of Steam’s murky new releases, all in the name of retrieving shiny gamepearls for your, uh, play earrings. Liberated from the clams this week: automata, wheeled acrobatics, and the ball of america. (more…)
