What’s up Maximum Football fans, and welcome to Pre-Season 6: Training Camp!
Today’s update and pre-season launch is a foundational moment for Maximum Football as we prepare for a new era with our new development partner, Open Ocean Games.
Here’s what’s inside the latest update available on all platforms today!

New Draft Class Flow
You now have more visibility into what players are navigating to the next level when you have your Dynasty and Franchise connected. Here’s how it works:
At the end of a season in Dynasty, you will receive a prompt asking if you’d like to export your class of graduating seniors.
If you select yes, you will be shown a follow-up screen that lets you know every player that will be available in that year’s draft class. Sort this by overall or filter by schools to see who from your team will take the jump.
After you connect your Franchise to your Dynasty in the Franchise set up, you will see your seniors in the Draft Class menu from Transactions.
This process makes understanding your draft classes much clearer, ensuring you can continue their stories into the pros.
Platform Optimizations
You will notice some major improvements with how the game runs across all platforms. We've made adjustments to the game’s lighting system to achieve this. While you won’t notice changes to the way the game looks visually, you will definitely see that it runs smoother on console and uses fewer resources on PC.
We’ve also removed most autoreplays and cut down on the splash screens. This is part of a larger effort to speed up play in Maximum Football and keep you on the field.
Bug Fixes
There are around 50 bugs that we squashed with this patch, many of which were identified by you! We continue to monitor our Player Hub for bug reports to make each patch even better.
