How this game isn’t ranked higher than or more favorably than Accolades’ 4th&Inches, I will never understand.
This game is exceptional, not flawless of course but a more than admirable effort.
The passing game in particular, which required such precision, gave you a hint at what real football players strive for to succeed in a highly competitive league.

The first "first person football" experience perhaps?
It was quite fun to get the ball and run for a touchdown, trying to swerve past the defenders all trying to tackle you. Nice idea, but it was a bit gimmicky because I found it too easy to shake off tackles and run the entire pitch in unrealistic fashion!

Was never a fan of the genre so this passed me by without leaving so much as a whimper! Looked like there was a game in there for fans of the sport though. NEXT! :yell:

If I remember correctly, this game was touted as "in helmet" action. It "put you in the game through the eyes of the player. "
It wasn't a bad game, but the controls were a bit sluggish. It was a real good attempt, and in most areas, succeeded as being a deep simulation, wiht a full season and lots of plays. Over all, it was a decent game.
