Axis Football 2017 v3.3 Patch Notes
Hi, folks! First, I owe everyone an apology for the v3.0 update. The crashes and stability issues were totally my fault. I didn't test well enough, and a lot of you were simply unable to play the game for about a week. That's unacceptable, and I've put policies and procedures in

Hi, folks!
We have officially launched Axis Football 2017 v3.0. Please see the list below for complete update notes.
You can also watch and listen to developer commentary on the update here: https://youtu.be/mFTQKm6BOoQ
Update Notes:

Added defensive hot routes. You can now adjust the assignments for any defensive player before the snap. You can hot route to various zones, blitz, man coverage, or QB spy.
Added in additional options for defensive shifts pre-snap. You can now pinch or spread your defensive line or linebackers, and you can now shift your safeties left or right. This is in addition to the already existing shifts.
Expanded the League Leaders section of Franchise Mode to include the top 50 players in each stat category. Simply click on any of the lists to show the entire set of players.
Added a popup loading screen to better facilitate and communicate what the game is loading.
Added 50+ new uniforms to the game.
Added a brand new stadium
Optimized the existing stadiums to perform better
AI-controlled QB will no longer spin in a circle when handing the ball off sometimes.
Fixed the bug that was causing some receivers to sometimes fail to react to passes thrown to them.
Improved QB pass target selection.
Improved RB hole selection
Improved RB AI when running outside of the tackles
Improved local avoidance to fix the occasional issue of players running into each other.
Thanks again for all of your support of the game. We are working hard to make it better!
PS - We were just made aware of a bug that is causing player stats to be unable to be viewed during a match. We'll get a quick fix for this in the next day or so.
Best,
Danny Jugan

Hi, folks!
We have officially launched Axis Football 2017 v2.0. Please see the list below for complete update notes.
You can also watch and listen to developer commentary on the update here: https://youtu.be/DQsDQ2QET18
Update Notes:

Redesigned and improved individual player stat tracking for games. All players - including backups - that have stats in the selected category will be shown. All individual stats are now sortable.
Individiual player stats are also tracked for Franchise Mode. All teams in the league and all players on the teams will have their stats tracked. You can also view the individual stats of any team - not just your own.
Several new stat categories have been added to the game including Yards Per Carry, Yards Per Game, Longest Rush/Pass/Reception, Forced Fumbles, and several more.
A new League Leaders window has been added to Franchise Mode. This shows the top 5 players in each stat category in the game.
Simulated matches will now take into account the current roster and depth chart of a team.
When you lose it the playoff, the game will now simulate the remaining games to show the conculsion of the season and the winner of the Axis Bowl.
Team-based season stats can now be sorted in both ascending and decending order.
Improved QB throwing accuracy so receivers can catch the ball in stride more often.
Added a "Years Pro" attribute to each player that is visible when you are cutting players. This will help show which players were just drafted.
Improved offensive line blocking and adjusted the logic for how often (and how quickly) blocks are broken. We were seeing a higher-than-desired number of sacks.
Fixed a bug that was preventing running back from being able to locate holes to run though.
Fixed a bug that was causing the announcer to sometimes say the wrong return amount for kick and punt returns.
Fixed a bug in Spectator mode where the popup stats would sometimes be incorrect.
Fixed a bug that was causing a higher than normal number of interceptions that occur.
Thanks again for all of your support of the game. We are working hard to make it better!
Best,
Danny Jugan

Hi, folks!
We just pushed a patch for Axis Football 2017. This was not a content update, but we did fix a few bugs and gameplay issues that popped up.
Patch Notes:

Fixed the bug where certain player's routes/instructions were not properly flipping when the user flips a play
Fixed the stadium preview images to properly match their stadium
Fixed the bug where punt returners were often not catching the punt
Fixed the bug with the player editor where the name was not getting saved
Game options like difficulty, quarter length, and player fatigue on/off will now be saved to each franchise so users won't have to set those each game.
Reduced the effectiveness of D Line power and finesse moves.
Reduced the likelihood of interceptions
Our next update will include new content and features. You can expect it to release in about two weeks!
Happy gaming,
