Canadian Football 2017 is a gridiron football video game developed by Peterborough, Ontario-based Canuck Play, a team led by David Winter, a former EA Sports developer previously behind Maximum Football and CFL Football '99. The game uses Canadian football rules (can be changed to play American rules if you would like), but is not officially licensed by either the Canadian Football League or the players' association.[1]
The game was released on July 26, 2017 on Windows and Xbox One. It is not PlayStation compatible and an Xbox or PlayStation controller is required to play on PC.
As read on the Steam page "Fast, explosive offensive action, we have it all in our Canadian gridiron simulation title that brings to fans everything they love about how Canucks have been playing the game for more than 100 years. That means 12 players, 3 downs, 20 seconds, and no fair catch eh." And, one user by the name of BiffyMcBiff (who is the current #1 player in the world) is quoted as saying "THE BEST SPORTS GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED!!!!"
