EXHIBITION PLAY
Now that you’ve got all of the basics down, let’s head on out to the field
and throw the pigskin around. Here’s the flow of all of the menus and screens
you see as you set up an Exhibition game.
Home . . . . . Select the home team and playbook
Visitors . . . Select the away team and playbook
Stadium . . . Choose where the game will
be played
Uniforms . . Choose the 2000 - 2001
season or throwback jerseys from
years past.
ASSIGNMENT SCREEN
Once you’ve selected the teams, the Controller Assignment screen appears.
Press the Analog Stick or D-Pad UP/DOWN to align your controller with the
team you wish to command. If you wish to use Maximum Passing (and you
should to get the ultimate NFL 2K1 experience), press the A Button to toggle
it on. When everything is set the way you want, press the Start Button to
advance to the game.
Visiting team gets to call it. Winner of the toss
gets to choose whether to kick/receive. Loser
chooses which goal to defend. Following the
coin toss, the Special Teams play calling
screen appears.
This is where all of the action takes place.
ON DEFENSE AND OFFENSE
Champions are built on talent, teamwork, and the coach’s playbook. Use your play
list to tackle any offensive and defensive situation. On offense, passing plays are
displayed in blue, running plays are displayed in red.
