Evaluation
Axis Football 2017 launched on August 16, 2017 and received several post-launch patches and feature updates through November 2017 (v1.2, v2.0, v3.0, and v3.3). The developer's model for this series is to release a new standalone annual edition each year rather than continuing to update the previous one. True to that pattern, Axis Football 2018 was announced on September 1, 2018 and released on September 14, 2018, followed by Axis Football 2019 in September 2019, and Axis Football 2021 in August 2021. The last developer communication directed at this specific 2017 title was the v3.3 stability patch on November 20, 2017. All subsequent posts on this game's Steam page announce successor titles, making clear that Axis Football 2017 is a finished, standalone product. No DLC was ever listed, no future content was promised, and the developer has not communicated any plans to update this title further. The game is complete as of its final patch.

Our Story
We are a tiny, dedicated indie team, motivated by the lack of sim football options and determined to deliver a customizable football sim with a deep franchise mode and dynamic gameplay. Our budget for the 2017 game was about $10,000, and the majority of that came from sales from Axis Football 2016. Our small team works on this game during nights (and often early mornings) and weekends, relying on our day jobs to sustain our families and our passion for sim football gaming and the support of the community to continue to improve the Axis Football franchise.The Future of Axis Football
Axis Football has come a long way in three years, but it's certainly not where we want it to be in terms of graphics and depth of features. We made huge strides from last year and have even bigger plans for what we can accomplish next year. Your purchase and support of this game helps to make those plans a reality. We heavily reinvest back into the game, and we hope that is evident with the progress we've made. We plan to release annual versions of the game with improvements to graphics, animations, features, and more! Let us know what you'd like to see in the game, and share Axis Football with your friends! Find us on Twitter @AxisFootball or Facebook at .Last evaluated Jun 27, 2026
