AND NOW, CHRIS BERMAN
AND ESPN SPORTSCENTER

The Select Options Menu screen offers the follow¬
ing choices to custom design your games:

Delay of Game: On/Off,

If you need more time to choose your playsfetrate-
gies r choose "off under the Delay of Game
options. This will allow you as much time as you
need in between plays. When this option is "on",
the player will have 40 seconds to pick his play
and get the play started.

Pass Interference: On/Off.

If you do not trust the referees judgement, espe¬
cially on those crucial pass plays, then turn the
Pass Interference option off (all other penalties
apply). If you want the game to run its course,
then leave the Pass Interference option on,

Team Skills: Each team has a preset value for a
variety of skill levels. If you leave this option at
the “Real" setting, these options come in to play.
If, however, you set this at "Even", then the com¬
peting teams will have even statistical weight.

Quarter Length: Set the time for each quarter at
5,10, or 15 minutes of regulation play

Once you have determined the details of the game,
Chris Berman will appear at the desk of ESPN
SportsCenter to give

mines the details of
Chris' report. In all
cases the team stats
will be displayed to
Inform you {and your opponent) of the relative
strengths and weaknesses of each team. Once the

BILLS

Visiting team gets to
choose Heads or Tails
for the toss. The win¬
ner of the coin toss
decides whether to
Kick Off or receive the
ball. After this has
been determined, the
game begins.

THE KICKOFF

All the legendary moves and ladies that have been
shown over the years on ESPN Sunday Wight NFL are
now yours to command. The game of football will
never be the same as you call the plays and make
them happen! The Bump-and-Run Defense, the
Halfback Option, the Fake-Punt Slant they're all
here with more special features to create the ulti¬
mate football challenge.

Unless there is a turnover, the receiving team begins
the game on Offense and the kicking team begins at
Defense. The Main Menu for plays appears between
every down with the selection of plays. In the 2-play-
er mode, once a defensive play has been selected,
the screen shows a background field until your
opponent has made his offensive selection. If the
player on offense finishes his selection before the
defensive play has been chosen, well, the defender
has to do a little scrambling.

Once the Offense has
made their selection,
the game shifts over
to the field for the
play. At this point,
your skills as a player
take over as you try to
outwit and out-score
your opponent. If you

chose the Coach or Computer Mode of play, the
game itself takes over here and runs the play with¬
out your input.

On Offense, you have four downs (series of plays) to
advance the ball 10 yards. If you are successful, then
you begin a new set of downs. Continue this process
until you score a touchdown or a field goal If you are
unsuccessful at making the 10 yard minimum by the
fourth down and you are out of field goal range, it is
advisable to punt the ball to the Defense. The winner
is the team that has scored the most points by the
final whistle. If the game ends in a tie, then you have
one extra quarter for a sudden death playoff. The first
team to score in
sudden death wins
the game.

As with any sport,
wild and unpre¬
dictable plays are
known to happen. This
game was designed to
utilise all the possible
plays in an unexpected manner to keep your oppo¬
nent off guard. Try a fake kick once in a while to keep
them on their toes.

THE PLAY CHOICE SCREEN

It may seem complicated
at first, bat once you have
used it, it becomes second
nature. This screen is split
in two by the ESPN Stats
bar. This bar flashes
between the names of the
teams and current score
and the current quarter,
down and yardline that the ball is placed an, The
upper time is the time remaining in the quarter
and the lower time is the 40 second play clock.

The status bar shows the number of time-outs
for each team.

The top three screens are for the player on defense.
Selections advance each column until your choice
is made.

The bottom nine screens are for offensive play
selection. IMPORTANT NOTE: The column that
is flashing determines which button is effected.
Once you have mastered maneuvering between
the plays, no defender will be able to follow your
play selection [

THE PLAY CHOICE SCREEN

The choices for Offense and Defense are formations
first, then play selection, Certain formations should
be determined by studying the placement of the team
on the field, what down it is, and so on. Once the
formation is determined, the player selects an
appropriate play.

Once the Offensive player has chosen the ptay, the
screen shifts to the live action playing of the game.
Plays continue until each quarter ends. At the end of
the second quarter is half-time, Chris Berman comes
back to give a recap of the games events and pre¬
pares you for the second half. He returns at the end of
the game to announce the final score and the appro¬
priate standing of the teams that competed in his
wrap-up of the game.

There is also an option to reselect the offensive play.
It appears on the pause screen as reselect play. This
option is only available an the formation selection;
once a play has been picked and the team breaks out
of the huddle, the play must be changed through an
audible, or time-out.

TIME OUTS

Time Outs stop the clock until the ball is snapped
on the following play. Press the start button to
move to the next screen.

A FEW MORE POINTS

Passing: Your greatest weapon as a quarterback is
the ability to choose your receiver. The targeted
receiver automatically runs to where the ball is
thrown until controller inputs are detected which
send him in another direction. A receiver controlled
by a gamer has a slight advantage over one con^
trolled by the computer. Get a feel for moving the
player after the ball is in the air.

Kicking: The player controls the kicker and executes
each kick. There are three options for style of kick to
choose from (use the one most appropriate for your
team's position on the field),

A power meter shows up to register the force and
direction of the kick. Touching the B button
starts/stops the power bar (2 times), once for force,
then for direction. There are three types of kicks to
choose from when you perform a kickoff:

Deep Kick - this has a long hang time and allows
your special teams players time to get down field
and tackle the ball handler.

Squib Kick - short low and straight, you want
this kick when you don't want to risk a run back
from your opponent,

Onside Kick - Use this when you want to risk
'stealing'' the kickoff from your opponent, but if
he receives the kick safely, his team will have
excellent field position.

Punting: Many conditions go in to the strategy and
execution of punting in this game. Instead of having
a generic punt option, there are several choices for
the punting team. This allows you a better chance to
place the ball (or fake out an opponent) in the best
possible way. When you choose Kick from the play-
book, several options for punting appear. Choose the
one that best fits your team's position on the field or
see if you can catch your opponent off guard with a
fake! The same meter for the kick appears as does on
the Kickoff mode.

No-Huddle Offense & Audibles: Once you have famil¬
iarized yourself with the playbook, you can run a No-
Huddle Offense, This adds a level of play that will
keep your defender guessing] When the playbook
screen is shown, choose the No-Huddle option and
go right back to the formation you previously ran,

You audibilize from the line of scrimmage by pressing
in the play sequences you have memorized from the
playbook—before the play select comes up. This way,
there is no possible way the defender can guess your
play, and hell have to scramble to cover your team.
The code shown in the blue box in the comer of the
Play Select Screen is the code needed to enter that
play from the current formation. If the Offensive
player runs the No-Huddle from the end of a play,
the playbook will not be seen, Selecting No-Huddle
is not necessary for calling audibles and is better
used to give you the same play used on the last snap
of the ball, All audibles use the last formation select¬
ed and so identical audible codes mean different
plays based on the formation the team is in.

A FEW MORE POINTS

Flip Plays: Players can flip the direction of the
play they are running to offset a defensive strategy.
This maneuver will force the defense to disguise
its blitzes and adds another strategic element to
the game play.

Length oi the Game: You are able to set the length
ol the game lor 20, 40 or 60 minutes. The game is
played in quarters (S P 10, and IS minutes, respective¬
ly), with a 2-minute warning before half-time and the
end of game. Keep an eye on the lime clack to make
sure you maximize the amount oi play time. The
clock is stopped on a safety, a field goal a change
of possession, a time-out, an incomplete pass, a
touchdown or a penalty. The cloak is no! stopped
when a player runs out ol bounds except in the final
two minutes of the first half and the final five min¬
utes of the last half.

Time Outs: Each team receives three time outs per
hall. Players can use time outs at any point during
the game, however, time outs that are not used by
the end of a half are cannot be used in the nexl
half. Time outs cannot be called when a play is in
progress. Use these strategically to utilize the game
clock to your own advantage!

Penalties: You have the option to choose if penal¬
ties are part of the game or not, You may find
it easier to learn the mechanics of the game
with the setting off. Aftei you have mastered
the finer points of the game, try playing with it
on. This definitely adds to the realistic feel of
the game play.

A FEW MORE POINTS

Points: Listed below are the points that a team
makes in the game:

Touchdown - 6 points. This occurs when a player
breaks the plane of the defender's end zone while
carrying or receiving the football.

Point After (Kick) -1 point. After every touchdown,
the scoring team is allowed a kick for
an extra point.

Two-Point Conversion - 2 points. Instead of taking
the kick, a team may opt to run or pass the ball
into the end zone from the 3-yard line for a 2 point
conversion and on the three yard line for an extra
point attempt. This was formerly seen on colle¬
giate level games prior to the 1994 season,

Field Goal - 3 points. When a team is close
enough to the defender's end zone for this kick,
yet too far to make a safe conversion from 4th
down, they try for one of these. These usually
determine the outcome of a game when the play
goes info overtime.

Safety - 2 points. This is an uncommon event. It
takes place when a defender tackles an offensive
player (or makes him run out of bounds) in the
end zone. The team that scores the safety receives
the ball on the next set of downs by a special
Punt-style kickoff.
