successfully broken every tackle up to that point.
FIELD GOAL CHALLENGE
In this game, you must complete a set of increasingly difficult field goals.
First, watch the moving Accuracy Meter at the bottom of the screen and
snap the ball to lock in your aim, then watch the power meter and tap
the action button to lock in the power to complete the kick. Make sure to
complete the kick before the defense rushes. The more kicks you make,
the better your score.
NOW THAT YOU’RE TRAINED, IT’S TIME TO PLAY A GAME!
GAME SETUP
When setting up the game, you get to choose which teams to play for
and against.
If only one player is selected, you will be asked to choose a Difficulty
Setting (Rookie, Pro, or All Pro). Do so by using the Directional Buttons
and the Action Button. Use the Directional Buttons to scroll through the
teams and their stats. Tap the Action Button to lock in your selection.
For two players, use the Directional Buttons and Action Button to
choose an Away Team. Players will alternate using the Football
Controller (Offense) and the Running Mat (Defense).
The last option to set up is the length of the game’s quarters (1-5 min).
Choose the Quarter Length by using the Directional Buttons and the
Action Button.
SELECTING PLAYS
Each player can select a play by using the Directional Buttons and
Action Buttons on the running mat, or the O Button and a passing
motion to enter.
To select plays from the football controller, the O Button can be used to
toggle between plays. During game play, the O Button is used to toggle
between receivers.
The offense will always be at the bottom of the screen while the defense
will always be at the top. Players one and two will be represented by their
helmets. Player one will be represented by a helmet facing the right of the
screen. Player Two’s helmet will always face the left side of the screen.
OFFENSIVE PLAY
Once the players are in position, hike the ball by quickly snapping it
back to your chest.
PASSING
When you’re ready to pass decide which receiver to throw to by either
stepping on one of the Running Pad’s buttons (1 Player mode), or
pressing the O Button on the football controller, and then make a
passing motion with the football controller.
NOTE:
The player on the screen will have an “L”, “R”, or “X” above the
players head.
RUNNING
1 Player
After completing a pass, you control the speed of the player running with
the ball by running on the Directional Buttons. While running, watch the
Turbo Meter on your side of the screen. Once the meter reaches into the
red, your player will be given a quick speed burst. When the ball carrier
gets close to a defender, step on the running mat’s Action Button. If
timed correctly, this makes the ball carrier perform an appropriate action
(hurdle, spin, or stiff arm).
Note:
In 2 Player Mode, offense does not have turbo, but can juke with
the O Button on the football.
FIELD GOALS
Watch the Accuracy Meter and snap the ball at just the right time. Then,
tap the Action/O Button to lock in the kicker’s power.
EXTRA POINTS & TWO POINT CONVERSIONS
After a touchdown is scored, the offensive player can select an “automatic
extra point” or go for two points by selecting a different play. After a
touchdown AUTO PAT (Point After Touchdown) is highlighted. The player can
then either select AUTO PAT, or scroll to a different play to go for 2 points.
KICKOFF
During Kickoffs, the kicking team will be at the bottom of the screen
kicking to the return team.
PUNTING
You may choose a punt play in the Play Select Screen then execute it
the same as you would a kick off.
SAFETY
Whenever a ball carrier is tackled in their own end zone, the defense is
awarded two points. The offense must immediately kickoff the ball to
the defense.
DEFENSIVE PLAY
BEFORE THE SNAP
The defensive player can step on the Arrow Buttons to select different
defensive linemen on the field. This gives the defensive player control
over a particular lineman for rushing.
PASS PLAY
Run on the Left & Right Arrow Buttons to build up your chosen player’s
turbo meter to do a rush move. Try to break through that offensive line!
Once the ball is in the air, however, your controlled defender
automatically becomes the one closest to the intended receiver. As
the ball nears, try to time stepping on the Action Button to go for an
interception, knock the ball down, or jar the ball loose from the receiver.
RUNNING PLAY
When chasing after a ball carrier, run on the Left & Right Arrow Buttons
to increase your player’s turbo meter.
Once your player is close to the ball carrier, step on the Action Button
and you player will dive toward and tackle the ball carrier.
ACTIONS
Actions are a big part of this game, and can greatly add to your success
if you can master the timing of these. Running back challenge is helpful
in getting a feel for correct timing of actions.
In most cases when your player comes in close proximity with
another player, an action can be performed, if timed correctly. It is
recommended that you experiment with actions at various times in the
games to see what can be done.
Available defense actions include power tackles, cough-ups,
interceptions, and bat-downs. Offense actions include spin moves, stiff
arms, and drives. If timed correctly, the best action for the situation is
automatically performed.
POWER UPS
These special moves will be awarded to players and then used with
plays when they have been selected on the Play Call screen.
Each Power-Up will be displayed on-screen by its own icon and sound
effect. When in use, Power-Ups are displayed by showing an icon over
the player that is affected by that Power-Up.
AWARDING POWER-UPS
Each time the offense or defense makes a key play, that team is awarded
a Power-Up.
When awarded a Power-Up, a window appears that randomly awards a
power-up to that team.
POWER-UP SELECTION
Each user can store up to six Power-Ups for offense and defense. After
a play is picked, if a Power-up is available, it is displayed with their name
and icon in a play call window. If a user has a Power-Up, but doesn’t
want to use it, they can select “None” by scrolling to it.
Once a Power-Up is activated, an icon appears over the head of the
player that is selected to use it.
Hint:
If both offense and defense choose the same Power-up, those
Power-ups are rendered useless.
POWER-UP DESCRIPTIONS (OFFENSE & DEFENSE)
TURBO –
The player gets a turbo boast for a few seconds.
STICKY HANDS–
Gives the player a greater chance to catch/intercept
the ball thrown.
FREEWAY–
Gives the ball carrier the enhanced ability to break/make
tackles.
METEOR–
On offense, a random receiver is chosen. When the pass is
completed, the defenders fall to the ground allowing him to make the
play. On defense, using meteor will cause the ball to be “coughed up”
more often after tackling a receiver.
THE BULL–
Makes the offensive line impenetrable to rushes or blitzes.
On defense, the highlighted player will instantly break through the
offensive line to rush the QB.
HEAT –
This will increase the QB’s ability to complete the pass and make
the big play. On defense, the coverage of the receivers is increased.
NOW GET OUT THERE AND SCORE A TOUCHDOWN!
TROUBLE SHOOTING
TV
To locate your auxiliary channel, which is usually not 3 or 4, but a gaming
channel found between 2 and 99 (example 2, 1, 0, 99), first try 00 to see
if it is the auxiliary channel. Channels downwards from 3 until a Line 1
or Line 2, Video 1 or Video 2, Front, Aux, AV, etc., appears on screen,
then push the power button on the game and it should automatically
come on if you have selected the correct channel. If this does not work,
another way to determine your auxiliary channel is to take a look at your
television remote. There may be a button on the remote that may take
you directly to the correct channel. The buttons you are looking for may
be labeled Input, AUX, AV, Line, TV/Video, or Video. If your remote has
one of these buttons, turn your television back to Channel 3 and select
that button. The power button on the game should be turned on in order
for the game to appear on the television. If your television remote does
not have any of these buttons, and channel 00 is not working, you may
need to search the main menu for a way to determine your auxiliary
channel. If none of these methods have helped you locate your auxiliary
channel, you may need to check your owner’s manual and/or contact a
local television repair company.
VCR
When connecting to a VCR, you must first start with a blue background
showing on your television screen. To obtain a blue screen, try inserting
a videotape into the VCR, let it start to play, then hit the stop button. This
may give you a blue screen, then you can channel down to your auxiliary
channel. If the blue screen still does not appear, try entering your TV
and/or VCR main menu and see if it gives you options to select a blue
screen background. Many times if you enter the main menu on your
television you can change the setting from cable to video and display
a blue screen. Also if you have an older television, you may locate a
hidden door on your television that has color, picture, horizontal, vertical,
and cable, antennae buttons. If your television includes this panel,
you can select the antennae/cable button and see the blue screen
appears. If you have tried all of these options and are still unsuccessful
connecting the console, then you may need to check your VCR owner’s
manual or contact the manufacturer to find out how to set up your VCR
for console games.
If you still have difficulty with setup or operation of your game, please
call our players helpline mentioned at the end of this manual.
