Makecode Football by @Unique

Pre-Release (Oct. 29, 2025)



Welcome to Makecode Football, the new premier gridiron football game for MakeCode Arcade. This title requires the player to utilize every control, and make clever time-based decisions. Featuring 32 teams, 17 games each season–there’s no scarcity to the game play.

Each team has an identity that will help sports fans recognize their choice for the football campaign, using familiar colors and city locations to paint the picture. But the fun doesn’t come from reading a synopsis, so go ahead and play!



Release Developer Notes

UNIQUE HERE! This game is sadly not finished, and I would say it’s not even close but that’s not a good thing to do when I want people to play the game. Just know that if you encounter some bizarre glitch or a missing feature, I’m aware and actively working on it. But here’s a list of features I want to add (and maybe some I NEED to add).

  • Players going out-of-bounds
  • Exhibition mode w/ two-player functionality
  • Custom teams or expansion teams
  • Playoffs
  • Sort feature for standings
  • Free Agent signing
  • Roster menu
  • Trading players or picks
  • Draft and draft picks
  • Better game-play (accommodating for team ratings)
  • Change your team rating according to your rosters potential
  • Player ratings
  • FIELD GOALS AND EXTRA POINT CONVERSIONS
  • Playing indefinite seasons

I will be posting each update below in the replies! And please give me all the feedback and all the suggestions, since this is the first playable (not a demo) game I’ve posted on the forums (kinda embarrassing but disregard that).

Have fun!!!1!

@Unique the players can go out of the screen

maybe the top 32 users

I know, it sucks and it’s kinda strange that I haven’t programmed that in yet but I’ll get around it soon!

How did you make the physics for the football throw? I can’t figure it out (I don’t know javascript).

it restarts after your first game

I found another bug, if you pass to someone that’s past the endzone the game now begins past the endzone and you will be in an infinite abyss of nothingness unable to score
