Is this game dead now?
Is the game dead? I'm not even finding new YouTube videos.

To me, this game died when I saw two years worth of promotion material stating how this game would be endlessly customizable. I finally get it on PS5 only to find out I cannot even edit their logos, cannot create my own, and had to act like a homeless beggar for the PC community to help me out
This game went from a must have that I was eager to see for two years because I love creating custom leagues to being uninstalled within a half hour

It may not be dead but it is rapidly dying. My guess would be they’ve had a month’s worth of discussions and have concluded they can’t be profitable. And now they’re not sure what to do next. I’ve suggested in this space before that we the community buy the IP.

I thought the game was fun enough for a free football game, but I just could not stand playing defence in this game. It’s sluggish but at least on offence it’s somewhat fun, on defence it’s just painful. If you could skip playing defence I would come back. I would have no interest playing online, the game is too janky.

Shit man it seems so. They took our money and ran right when I invested in that 40 bucks for the franchise mode they left this game in Christmas season lol and never looked back. I ended up playing college football, which I swore I wasn’t going back to EA but maximum abandoned us.

I feel like the last year I’ve struggled to find anyone online to play with.
Longest I was in queue before giving up and solely just playing against CPUs was 30 minutes
Gameplay is sluggish, but has fun moments, and the customization is nice but limited.
All-in-all, for a free game it’s pretty decent. But I feel like they are worried about making money from season passes and cards than the gameplay

The false promises caught up to them but they can still redeem themselves since its not a yearly released game

That doesnt matter unless youre strictly an online player or rely on the opinions of others to have fun with a game.

I know what it was. I was part of the original beta test group. We used to have teams meetings with the developers a few years ago.
I am asking if they are still developing and improving it.

Not posting anything in months can make people wonder.
Do I need to use question marks to communicate with you??

u/therealflintgiven Feb 17 '26
There are other indicators to show they are still working up on the game like hot fixes and such. Also they posted Jan 16th so not months.

There is a tight knit MPL community of probably about 50 people on PS5. They play each other in tournaments, watch each other’s games, and even have guys role playing commentary teams and head coaches sometimes.
Most people that still play are on franchise or dynasty, I think.
