Pure Football 2018

Update 0.2.3

Scaled more menus to work properly on bigger resolutions. Let me know if any menus go off-screen.

Added a delete custom roster button.

Fixed some small bugs related to editing multiple custom rosters back to back.

Fixed an issue when throwing screens that the runningback would run the opposite direction of the offensive line.

Fixed being able to hike the ball in a small window just after the quarter had ended. This would soft-lock the game.


Once again, I'm still looking into a reported issue related to scoring points that I haven't been able to replicate yet.

Tomorrow's update will include a section for team stats and an archive of information from previous seasons.

Update 0.2.2

Made a change to how menus are sized at different resolutions. I believe this will fix issues with larger resolution menus going off the screen.

Games may now be clicked on in the newspaper to go straight to their box score. This is only applied to games in the primary box (top left), but will be expanded on in the future when I add more information to the newspaper. I think the direction I want the paper to be is less about telling a narrative, but more of a central hub to get a week to week recap.

Added camera settings to the in-game options menu. You can adjust the camera distance for defense and offense, switch the defense camera behind the offense, stop the defense camera from rotating, and change the pitch of the camera.

I'm still looking for the bug that causes some peoples TD's to score as safeties and extra points as field goals.

Update 0.2.1

Stats can now be reordered by clicking their header. There is a decimal point order issue that will be resolved tomorrow.

Away teams now wear away uniforms.

Added a background box to the on-field pause menu and blurred the screen behind the pause menu. This is temporary until I do a UI update.

Fixed an issue where some of the buttons in the pause menu were not highlighting black when using a controller.

Fixed an issue that would sometimes soft-lock the pause menu when looking at the game options.

Update 0.2.0

Hey guys. Sorry for the delay between patches, but I've been hard at work. The new update will probably break any previous save games you have because I had to rework the entire stat system. However, the stat system now retains stats for all seasons and not just the last five. Be sure to leave any feedback you have!

Added coach mode to both franchise and exhibition games. This is enabled via check-box before the game.

Added playoff tabs to the schedule board.

Seperated playoff stats from being bundled with regular season stats.

Playoff seeds are now retained for future viewing.

Fixed issue where players were shown on the wrong team in old game box scores after they have since retired.

Sideline players will now be still when idle.

Stats, records, and schedules are now viewable for all previous seasons.

Added sacked stat to quarterbacks.

Seperated information in player card into different pages that can be switched via drop down box. This cleaned up the card and will make adding additional information in the future much easier and cleaner.

Added back buttons to switch positions in the depth chart until I find a bug that causes some users to not be able to open the drop down box.

Made various changes to menus across the franchise mode.

Update 0.1.9

The franchise starting year setting can no longer be set to a decimal value (this had no effect other than visual). Note: there will still be a .0 decimal attached to it. This is an issue with the engine that will hopefully get fixed soon.

Changed font color and size for schedules and stats. Let me know if it is still hard to read.

Fixed a bug that would soft-lock the game when calling a timeout right before the AI would snap.

Fixed the field goal posts getting in the way of the camera when near the endzone.

Fixed team records not saving properly after playing a game.

I was going to wait for the 0.2 release to add Coach Mode, but it is quietly going to be added this update to make sure it is bug free come 0.2. This is enabled by checkbox before hitting "play game." Please report any bugs you find.

Update 0.1.8

Switching defenders during a play now switches to the closest defender.

Added a home field advantage when simming games. Sacks and interceptions are slightly more common. I am looking for feedback on this going forward.

Multiple menus can no longer be created when clicking on players during the draft.

Tweaked kickoff blocking to stop blockers from ganging up.

Update 0.1.7

Saves that were deleted manually will now not show up when loading a franchise. However, there was a bug when making new franchises after manually deleting saves. This has caused a bug inside the meta save that causes old save files under the same name as new save files to show both. However, this bug is now fixed and can't replicated. However, if you have the bug before this patch you will either need to delete your save folder or ignore the duplicated franchise when viewing the franchise load list.

Added a delete save button under the load menu

Older players will now demand less money

Updated franchise guide with contract and free agency details

Found an issue that was causing player technique ratings to inflate crazily over several seasons

Fixed the gameclock not decreasing with the playclock after fast forwarding

Fixed a bug where the player gained control of the opposing team's punter after punts

Fixed a bug where the AI was using the player's timeouts and spamming them at the end of the 2nd and 4th quarter

Update 0.1.6

Small update tonight.

Fixed controller functionality with playcall menus

Added cap space to signing draft picks

Added cap space to in-season free agent menu

Update 0.1.5

Extra GM's and Coaches are now randomly generated in the offseason

Fixed coaching stats in the offseason not being shown in letter form

The play game button will now change to "go to tasks" during the off-season and will take you to the off-season tasks

Fixed a bug where changes made in franchise before pressing "play game" were lost due to removal of auto-saves

Added check box to enable/disable the newspaper before playing/simulating games

Removed some missed auto-saves in off-season

Fixed an issue with drop down boxes in the off-season

Fixed a bug that would break the draft if you switched the position you are viewing on the same tick as the AI drafting

Update 0.1.4

Fixed an issue where stats were being duplicated to multiple years at the end of the offseason

Fixed issue when doing multiple drafts in one sitting

Fixed an issue where the Offensive Rookie of the Year and the Defensive Player of the Year awards were going to each others recipients.

Set the games max fps to 144, this is a temporary test and will have a slider in the options in the near future. This should help stop the game from running high end PCs too hard.


Fixed position selection issue with drop down boxes in depth chart

Changed offseason positions to drop down boxes

Added tool tip to help players understand when they are over the cap or missing positions

fixed a bug when moving between menus after failing to simulate a week (being over the cap, positions unfilled)

fixed bug with league schedule after previous update

fixed expiring contracts not being shown in letter form

fixed weird button behavior when signing rookies after the draft

fixed offseason todo list not reseting team review

players can now be released from the depth chart after clicking the player card

fixed extra games showing in schedules during playoffs

Viewing playoff game stats now shows the proper week
