Axis Football 2017 Information
First, a big "Thank You!" for all of the support everyone has shown Axis Football over the past couple years! We've come a long way, but we have even farther to go!
As the football season heats up for the playoffs, I wanted to share some of the work that we have planned for Axis Football 2017 and the future. The three big features that we'll be focusing on will be:
- Next-Gen player models featuring an all new customizable uniform editor
- Deeper franchise mode featuring trades, drafts, and advanced stats.
- Broadcast inspired commentary featuring legendary announcer from the NFL 2k series
Naturally, we'll still be adding tons of other features like improved gameplay, better AI, more plays, GUI updates, more animations, and much more!
You can follow along with the development at AxisLeague.com. Preorders can also be made there, which include beta access (scheduled to begin around April).

Axis Football v6.1 Patch Notes
Axis Football v6.1 is now live! Please see the patch notes below for more information.
- Fixed a bug that was causing the AI to snap the ball while players were selecting an audible on defense. This was happening only when users were using a controller.
- Fixed the blocking logic on the Trips Inside Run play.
Axis Football v6.0 Patch Notes
Axis Football v6.0 is now live! Please see the patch notes below for more information.
- On defense, you can now audible to any other play in your selected formation. We plan to add defensive hot routes in 2017.
- The camera will now rotation around to the back when a turnover/kick occurs.
- Added 56 new offensive plays (eight per formation). There will now be a page up/down button on the playbook where applicable.
- After much debate, the Washington Savages have officially changed their name to the Washington War Chiefs.
- Fixed the player skin tones so that all of the different shades will now show. (In the previous v5.x, all of the players had the same skin color.)
- Fixed a bug that was affecting the QB speed on run plays. The interaction between QB and players on run plays should be a lot better now.
This will be the last major update for the 2016 version of the game. We still may fix any bugs or misc. things that pop up, but we will be turning our attention to preparing the 2017 version. As always, thank you for all of your support. Your purchase directly goes to making this game better. If you want to see what I mean by that, make sure to follow us on Twitter (@AxisFootball) or Facebook (fb.com/AxisGames). We're showing off the new football player models and so much more!

Axis Football v5.1 Patch Notes
Axis Football v5.1 is now live! Please see the patch notes below for more information. No major features here, just some fixes.
- Fixed a bug that was causing the snow particle effect to drastically lower framerate.
- Fixed a bug that was sometimes crashing the game when a turnover occurred.
- The stadium crowd sounds will now properly play and stop when sound effects are turn off and on.
- Lowered the camera pan speed on the title screen.
There are a few issues that we are still working on, but I wanted to put out a patch to fix the issues above ASAP. We are still working on the following three issues:
1) Sometimes the character the user has selected will move without the user pressing any input directions.
2) Sometimes the game will stop taking input. If this happens, try unplugging and reconnecting your controller.
3) Only white player textures are showing instead of the 5 color variations. We know to fix this, it just takes a bit of time. We'll have it done soon!
If you experience #1 or #2 above, please let me know and please provide as much detail as possible. The changes made in this v5.1 patch *could* have fixed those issues, but I couldn't get them to reproduce on my end, so I'm basically shooting in the dark trying to fix them.
Thanks for your support and patience!

Axis Football v5.0 Patch Notes
Axis Football v5.0 is now live! Please see the patch notes below for more information.
- Implemented depth chart management and formation subs. The window for making subs is accessible both in-game and in your franchise management menu. You have the ability to sub out one player in a specific formation, or replace the player entirely. Hot key for bringing up the window in game: O on keyboard, Back on controller.
- You can now jump to deflect passes while on defense. R on keyboard, Y on controller.
- You can now use power and finesse moves while engaged in a block in an attempt to break free. Success of the move is determined by player attributes. Power move: E on keyboard, B on controller. Finesse move: Q on keyboard, X on controller.
- You can now disengage from block by moving your defender in the opposite direction of the blocker while engaged in a block.
- Improved AI logic for calling timeouts
- Added a confirmation screen for deleting franchises to help prevent accidental deletion.
- Added player fatigue. Fatigue affects a player's ability to perform and is indicated by a color in both the depth chart and the active player indicator circle on-field. White is fully rested, Yellow is winded, Orange is tired, Red is gassed. A player's attributes being to be affected once they become winded (yellow).
- The camera will now continuously move on the Title screen instead of stopping when it reaches the other end of the field.
- Using the back button on the title screen takes you to the previous menu instead of back to the starting menu.
- Improved the lighting by implementing baked, global illumination.
- Combined player model meshes to improve performance. You should hopefully notice the game run better.
- Fixed a bug that sometimes occurred when attempting to pass the ball just as the QB was crossing the line of scrimmage.
- Fixed a bug where the QB would run in the wrong direction if you audibled to a run in certain formations.
- Fixed a bug in 2P games where users can't pick an offensive play if the defense picks punt block or FG block.
- Implemented a new input management system. This systems supports a wider variety of controllers and should hopefully fix any controller issues.
- Moved to a just-in-time loading system for team data. This should speed things up when navigating menus from the title screen.
As always, balancing and adjustments are an on-going process. I will continue to make tweaks as necessary.
The next update will include an extended playbook and possibly defensive audibles along with a handful of other small improvements.
Happy Gaming,
Danny Jugan
Axis Football v4.0 Patch Notes

- AI vs AI game mode is now available. You can play quick matches or franchise matches in this mode
- You can now watch (AI vs AI) any match from your current week of franchise mode. Use the "View Schedule" option under your Franchise Home screen to do so.
- Fixed a bug where defenders would sometimes be pushed backwards while running when they were not colliding with anything.
- Improved the offensive line AI to correct some flaws in the logic that was allow for some exploits.
- Completely refactored all play data. This should decrease load times going into matches for users with slower computers.
As always, balancing and adjustments are an on-going process. I will continue to make tweaks as necessary.
