Hey, I am here looking for at least one other person to help work on an American Football map for SCII. This map is going to based on a very popular Warcraft III map named "W.a.L.K.'s Football" (http://www.mapgnome.org/map-info/1912). I do have permission from the author of the map to work on a remake of it for SCII.
The map is usually played 4v4, sometimes 6v6. It is very competitive and requires a high level of skill when played at a high level, but can also be a fun and casual game for newcomers. There is currently a community on Warcraft III of about 50 people who still play the game actively (at its peak there was over 100 and several clans). Unfortunately, not many people still play Warcraft III anymore for anything other than DotA or Ladder, so we are about maxed out on Warcraft III. That is why we are looking to bring this fun map to SCII.
I can guarantee that when this map is complete there will absolutely be a dedicated community that will play and enjoy it, as long as it is made right. In addition, I would be willing to compensate with money anyone who helps out in the project*.
At least $100 at minimum, we can discuss this more in-depth.
If you are interested please either reply to the thread or PM me, thanks. Below are some gameplay videos of the Warcraft III version.
I'm interested in making a game like this. Unfortunately, I don't watch American football games, my knowledge on this sport is limited to the movies.
That's fine. The map doesn't get very complicated with the concepts of football, it's mostly just the basic ideas about the sport. The person who made the Warcraft version of the map map actually isn't much of a football fan himself. I'd also be more than willing to explain anything about the sport you may want/need to know.
What are the basic elements of this game (the WC3 game)?
(And control mechanisms?)
EDIT:
Also, I've read up a bit, so I have more questions for you.
1. Are you sure there's no equivalent in the Arcade?
2. How did the WC3 game deal with the lack of 22 players?
3. Who is on this development team and what are their roles?

The game is usually played 4v4, the way it works is like this:
There will be eight players in the lobby and two team captains who are the quarterbacks. The two captains get to pick their teams in a draft from the players in the lobby.
Typically, there will be one quarterback, one runningback, and two wide receivers on a team when on offense. When on defense, the quarterback plays the linebacker position, runningback plays the safety position, and wide receivers play the cornerback positions. The quarterback on each team also controls the team's offensive and defensive linemen (so they control 4 units in total).
As far as I know, there is no football map on Starcraft 2, but even if there is it's not like this. What we really want is not just for any American style football map to be made, but a nearly identical recreation of this one from Warcraft 3, at least in regards to the core gameplay. In regards to the gameplay, the only way to really understand it would be to watch some gameplay videos of it or to play the Warcraft 3 version.
As of right now, there is one person who will be doing map editing who does play the Warcraft 3 version. I don't know which specific parts he plans on working on, because I'm not that familiar with the SC2 editor, but I'll ask. Me and several others from the community (we have a website and forum where you could post any questions you may have at any time) that play this game would always be willing to answer any questions you or any others may have in regards to the map, we'd really like to see a SC2 version done some day.
Hai, I could be a part of this, I am good with triggers as I come from the old warcraft III scene, I'm currently working on a "ice skating" game, so I think our ideas of "fun" is quite the same, as your making a sports game.
Btw, isn't it a bit like Star Strikers?
Edit: I watched some videos from the Wc3 map, it seemed a bit big for only 4/8 players to have such a big map, and there should be some more teamwork then just "kick the ball over and then run and noone can catch you because they have the same speed". Slowed when having the ball end ect. So it forces you to play as a team and pass ect.

So far I have received a few inquiries via PM, if anyone else is interested please let me know.
Any news on this project? Looks like a fun mini-game with hours of re-playability.
