Through stretch goals, MFL backers have earned 2 additional teams, and are charging towards a 3rd one! Thank you!!!
As the teams pile up, the MFL team would like to share the plan for teams in the game with you. Prior to the Kickstarter campaign, we had planned for 14 teams. Through the Kickstarter, 2 more teams were bought, and 2 more have been earned via stretch goals.
Now we would like the MFL community to decide what the next 2 teams in the game will be. This will bring us to 20 teams when all are stretched. Below is the current plan, and then a link to the survey for you to vote!

'NAME THAT CLEVELAND TEAM' CONTEST SURVEY
almost 8 years ago
– Fri, Feb 24, 2017 at 09:35:14 PM
Asif Khan of Shacknews.com needs your help. Asif splurged on the "Own an MFL Team" tier, and wants to make sure his team has a great name. As a fan of Cleveland sports, Asif wants his team to be a parody of the Browns. We asked the MFL community to offer suggestions in exchange for the chance to win an opportunity to design a play and name a player in the game. Working with Asif, we've narrowed down the suggestions and are asking the MFL community once again for their opinion. Help Asif name his team by taking the "That Cleveland Team" survey:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/N37SDYZ
Asif will consider the survey when he chooses the winning name, but he does not need to pick the name that scores the highest; he only needs to consider it.
To be clear, just because a winner is selected, it is up to Asif and Michael to make the final decision regarding if the winning team name is the one which will appear in the game. There are a lot of good suggestions though, so huge thank you to all who contributed.

Hi everyone,
We’re cruising
toward that 100k goal, while smashing through stretch goals as we make our way
towards the endzone. THANK YOU MFL BACKERS!!! We are deeply humbled and
grateful to all of you.
We’ve got lots
of news in this update so be sure to read through it.
Demo Update – "Die and stay Dead!"
Justin Woods sent us a message asking about deaths, I responded
to him by saying, you're playing the Preview Build, which has the options set
on Resurrection mode by default. This is a more casual and fun way to play the
game, which we thought would be best for the Preview demo. Players who die, are
resurrected for the next play.
However in the actual game when Resurrection Mode is turned off
(and it will be by default) players who die, STAY DEAD and the team now has 1
less player on its roster. By killing the opposing team’s starters (and star
players) the team gets significantly weaker as they lose more and more players.
You can also systematically kill the opposing team’s running
backs and then they will lose all their running plays. If you kill all their
Quarterbacks they will need to forfeit. So it essentially becomes a completely
different game tactics wise. So when you use Bombs Away - you should target the
opposing team’s best cornerback. Once he's dead, your starting receiver has a
weaker guy covering him. Reserves who replace starters are not as good.
Ivan our tech
lead made a few adjustments to the build, so now if you go to the Option Screen
you can change Resurrection Mode to OFF and any players who died during the
previous play will not be resurrected. This means that players who die will
STAY DEAD!!!
So check it out
and let us know if you enjoy this mode. If you do, please thank IVAN and Justin
Woods!
Now that deaths
are occurring in the preview build here are some thoughts for strategy and
Tactics using Dirty Tricks:
Dirty Tricks
Kill
Ref:
Kill
ref is used mainly for multiplayer games, when your opponent calls a
"Bribe Ref" Dirty Trick. The ref's will start calling BS penalties
against your team at the worst times (like after you score). To put an end to
it, you will need to kill the ref. This is an unlimited Dirty Trick.
Bombs
Away:
Kills
the other teams Cornerback (as he tries to go for an interception). When the
pass is thrown, you will need to switch to your targeted receiver and quickly
move him away from ball marker.
Zap
Attack:
This
is a defense audible, which electrocutes the players on the opposing team.
Electrocuting the ballcarrier usually causes a fumble.
I’m quite
certain you guys have Ginormous, Flame-on and Chainsaw figured out.
Results from MFL Cleveland Team Naming Contest
The names are
in and we’ll pass those over to Asif Kahn who will pick his top 7 favorite
names. Then we’ll run a survey and everyone can vote for their favorites.
When Asif chooses the winning name, he will consider the survey but he does not
need to pick the name that scores the highest in the survey, he only needs to consider it.
Now to be
clear, just because a winner has been selected, it’s up to Asif and myself to
make the final call regarding if the winning team name is the one which will
appear in the game. There are a lot of good suggestions though, so huge thanks to everyone who contributed.

www.shacknews.com running name that Cleveland Team contest for Asif Khan!!!
almost 8 years ago
– Wed, Feb 15, 2017 at 08:56:03 PM
http://www.shacknews.com/article/99048/mutant-football-league-holding-a-name-that-cleveland-team-contest
Excerpt:
Mutant Football League has already surpassed its Kickstarter goal with still more than 20 days left. But that's not the real reason for this update. The truth is that the dev team is holding a "Name That Team" Contest for a team from Cleveland, purchased by our own Man with the Briefcase, Asif Khan.
Now, Asif wants this to be a parody name. We all know his love for Cleveland sports, so we want to enlist Shack fans to come up with some names that fit well with the undead, gory football theme of MFL. Asif suggested the Steamland Cleavers as a starting point, but there are plenty of options. Entries must be posted to the game's official Facebook page, with a winner being chosen by Asif on February 21. The winner will receive the "Design and Name Your Own Play" reward, and also be able to name a player in the game. The lucky stiff will also be listed as an "additional writer" for the game. If two entries are the same, the first poster wins.
One caveat: Asif reserves the right to change the winning name down the road. You would still be the winner and get the goodies, but you know how he is with Cleveland teams. He'd micromanage them too, if he could.
Mutant Football League was seeking $60,000 for the game, and has already received more than $84,000. And yes, some of that is Asif's money, so consider that your disclaimer.
