Unreal 7v7 Football Animation Gameplay

I’m creating my very first Unreal Engine 5 title: a backyard American-football game that pits two teams of seven human-controlled players against each other. Right now my biggest need is nailing how it feels on the field, so I want to focus first on two areas:

• Player movement and football-specific animations (runs, cuts, jukes, throws, catches, tackles, celebrations) built with Animation Blueprints, blend spaces, and any supporting C++ or Blueprints you find best.
• The underlying 7-on-7 gameplay logic—snap cadence, play clock, downs and scoring, ball possession handling, and clean replication for 14 online players.

If you have time later we can layer in backyard scenery and landmarks, but smooth, responsive character control and rule-driven gameplay come first.

When you reply, please link to past projects that show off your character animation and movement work inside Unreal; that’s the portfolio slice I value most for this phase.

I’ll supply prototype player models and a basic field layout. You’ll deliver the animation system and gameplay framework integrated into my UE5 project, with clear instructions so I can extend it on my own. Let’s make this backyard game as lively and authentic as the real thing.

I will include Royalties to this game. We never know!
