Players can choose to play a game under Canadian, American or indoor rules,[1] or create their own league with unique rules. The game allows for maximum customization of players, teams, and uniforms, and has a detailed Play Development System for creating plays and playbooks.[2]
The game includes a basic career mode.[2] Team owners can set up team profiles for maximum drafting of players and can set up a training camp.[2]
Maximum-Football does not feature licenses of any current football league,[2] but the game does allow users maximum customization of leagues thus the game creates names and locations based on the actual teams name and location.[2]
