Build and upgrade your dream roster to then step into the stadium, whether you’re playing online or in singleplayer mode, and carve out your legacy.

To help you gain a competitive edge over your opponents, here are three tips to dominate in Maximum Football.

Tip 1 – Upgrade Facilities to Improve Recruiting in Dynasty Mode

Recruiting is the lifeblood of college football, and in Maximum Football’s Dynasty Mode, you will have a myriad of tools at your disposal to try and land the nation’s top recruits to make a highly rated team.

One of the hidden ways to improve your recruiting chances lies in a unique feature of Maximum Football’s Dynasty Mode. In Dynasty Mode, you act as both your school’s athletic director and coach. This means that you have control over ticket and merch prices, stadium updates, and most importantly the construction of your program’s facilities.

Facilities are an important factor in building a powerhouse program because they give you a couple of advantages.

One – facility upgrades lower the cost of XP needed to improve player ratings, allowing you to upgrade players faster.

Two – upgrading your facilities makes your program more attractive to prospects.

For example, if you upgrade your blocking and receiving facilities, tight ends will have more interest in attending your school. So, you’ll want to focus your early budget on upgrading the facilities that are most important to your play style. You can make the next Tight End U or have a school known for pumping out high caliber receivers.

Tip 2 – Match Your Defense to the Offense’s Personnel

Regardless of the defensive playbook you are using, you will have a variety of personnel packages available to choose from. In the right-hand corner of the play calling menu you can see how many wide receivers, running backs, and tight ends the opposing team has on the field. Use this information to match personnel.

The most important piece of information is the number of wide receivers because you will generally want to call a play from a formation with the same number of cornerbacks. Here’s the breakdown.

● 2 WRs: 4-3 or 3-4 defense (depending on your playbook)

● 3 WRs: Nickel

● 4 or 5 WRs: Dime or Quarters

This isn’t a hard and fast rule, as you will want to keep the game situation in mind. For obvious running downs, you might want to have less corners on the field regardless of the other team’s play call.

Tip 3 – Merge Unwanted Cards to Upgrade Your Team in Maximum Pro League

In Maximum Pro League you start with a base team where each card has a card level from 1 to 10 and a rarity level from Common to Legendary. The higher both are, the higher your player’s overall rating will be. As you play, you will earn more cards that can be used to upgrade your team with better players.

But if you truly want to compete for a place at the top of the global leaderboard, you will need to merge unwanted cards to maximum your player stats. Merging unwanted cards allows you to create XP that you can then redistribute to other cards to raise their stats. For instance, merging two cards will give you XP that you can then use to level up your receiver’s catching ability. Each bump to the card level grants a boost to the card’s primary, secondary, and tertiary abilities.

Merging higher level and higher rarity cards or cards of the same position as the card you are upgrading will grant bonus XP, so manage your collection wisely. Once a card reaches level 10, it will be the highest overall that it can be and will also grant a second personality trait (seen on the top right of the card). These personality traits are used to create synergies in your starting lineup that give you even more of a competitive advantage!

With these tips you can dominate the gridiron! So, play Maximum Football today for free in Xbox Game Preview.
