The final product was Maximum Football, eventually released in 2006 after a drawn out development. Unfortunately the developer became more interested in customization than the CFL license, so all official CFL content was ditched to allow players to adjust the rules and field size according to their preferences.
While some sports gamers preferred this more thoughtful kind of experience, CFL Football ’99 was outclassed by existing franchises in the simulation genre, most notably Sierra’s Front Page Sports series, so it mainly appealed to diehard CFL fans.ĭespite the game’s limited market, Wintervalley began work on a second CFL game to be released in 2000. It featured the eight contemporary CFL teams, their current rosters, and featured on-field action as well as between-game team management sequences. Rather than trying to compete directly with established football video game franchises like Madden that feature quick and flashy arcade gameplay, Wintervalley opted to make a slower paced simulation style game. It turns out that back in 1999 British Columbian game developer Wintervalley Software released a PC game called CFL Football ’99, which stands as the only officially licensed CFL video game ever released.
