Built for the young fan (8-14) or the young at heart, ‘CFL Football Frenzy’ allows players to create and customize their own avatar, collect card packs, and play offence, defence, and field goal modes. The game is available for free in English and French on the App Store; Android coming shortly. “The CFL game is uniquely fast, fun, and creative – we wanted to create a game to celebrate that colourful spirit and share it with our younger fans,” said Christina Litz, CFL Senior Vice President of Marketing and Content. “This is new ground for the CFL as we follow through on our strategy to reach younger audiences and expand our digital gaming presence using our talented and entertaining star players.” “It’s fantastic anytime we can highlight and promote the tremendous talent of our world-class players, and this new creative initiative by the CFL does just that,” added Brian Ramsay, Executive Director, CFLPA. Enjoyable for fans of all ages, the quick-play game style allows players to play as real CFL stars or as themselves on all nine teams in a 7-on-7 style gameplay. Players can collect and design fun costume sets and avatars including vikings, pirates, sharks, and more. New features will be added throughout the season to expand the game into the future. The easy-to-play game will allow users a chance to play all sides of the ball and incorporates unique CFL rules and elements including three-down play, a 110-yard field, the rouge, no-huddle gameplay, and even the waggle. Users create their all-star rookie wide receiver avatar and play through a season as their favourite team as games get progressively more difficult. Players can get an offensive speed boost by timing the waggle correctly, use explosive Power-Ups to make big plays, and lead their team to victory in Season mode. CFL Football Frenzy was developed by Relish Interactive with design and development teams in Ottawa and Toronto. blue_gold_84, SPuDS, Noeller and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill download thihs later for sure Canuck Play 2017 is what you're referring to; out on XBox and Steam. You're right in that it's far from polished. I still think if the League & PA as well as say EA stepped up, the game would be better. Reading about the guys who made the game, I've got respect for 'em. Made a game just for the sheer love of the CFL; not expecting a big money maker. blue_gold_84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree, if EA made the game it would be way better. I respect Canuck Play for trying, but they came up with a poor product and the league was right not to align with them. I am surprised and impressed by the CFL making this mobile game. It is a smart move. Edited September 21, 2017 by Atomic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Video game these days cost tens to hundreds of millions of dollars to produce. Not going to happen on the consoles from the big guys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomic Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 I don't think a CFL game would be a fit for a AAA studio like EA, but maybe one of the smaller game dev shops can handle it. There is a lot of room between top-of-the-line EA and 2 guys in a dank room Canuck Play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 The problem with a CFL game is that the market is very limited so why is a game studio going to devote resources to something that is at best going to appeal to so few people? The CFL would be much better off trying to piggy back onto the NFL games and get a "canadian mode" into those. Noeller and MOBomberFan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber_fanaddict Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Downloaded and played it. Fun little game! On a side note.... Charmichel is just as bad in the game as real life! Jimmy Pop and Atomic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 I'd be happy if they re-skinned Tecmo Super Bowl (classic SNES versions) with CFL players and adjust the rules and what not... SPuDS, blue_gold_84 and The Classic 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
