David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said “Since its original release in early 2006, we have been hard at work developing and improving Maximum Football to create our ultimate vision of what this product could really become. The upgrade path has been a long one and has brought original customers along with us through many previous updates, the new v2.0 release and now this final update. We’d like to thank all the gamers and volunteers who have been playing and testing Maximum Football since the beginning and we hope that the two solid years of development they’ve been a part of since first playing the game have brought them enjoyment and a polished product that will stand the test of time. Unfortunately, all things must come to an end, but while development on Maximum Football will end with this version, the features and tools provided with the game give each gamer the ability to create their own football league for years to come.”
