player will have to recover the ball and run back
downfield. Once tackled, the field will rotate 180°
because the offense will
always move from the bot-
tom of the screen to the top.
At the start of each down, the offensive player
selects his team’s formation with one of the four but-
tons. If two people are playing, the defensive player
then chooses a formation. In a one player game, the
computer will select a defensive formation. As the of-
fensive player
, you control the brightly lit character
on the field. You can move him anywhere behind
the line of scrimmage prior to the the snap of the
ball. Once you snap the ball, by pressing Button 4,
you control the player with the ball. The ball will
always be snapped to the player immediately behind
the ball. As a defensive player
, you always control
the brightly lit defensive character.
Just like the real game, you better watch the clock,
too. You only have 30 seconds to snap the ball once
the formations are set. Otherwise, a delay of game
penalty will be called. Once the ball is snapped you
have the options of running
, passing , punting or at-
tempting a field goal. You ’re the coach, so anticipate
the action as you lead your team down the field.
