It's decently fun but suffers from several issues imo: 1) Rushing is almost always worse than passing, making the gameplay loop very samey. 2) Atleast for me, the difficulty is very wacky; easy is too easy and medium and above are too hard. Even dynamic got to the point of being impossible for some reason. 3) Fan rating grows too slowly and, when lost, you always lose tons of rating even if it was close. 4) Throwing interceptions is WAY too easy on higher difficulties.

After putting a lot of hours into this game, it's overall a great experience with a few minor quirks they would address. A rb with full speed stat is slower than a wr with full speed stat, which isn't too bad, but I'd really wish they would overhaul teammate blocking. If the opponents can tackle you from the side, your teammates should be able to block from the side. Most times your teammates will just shoot past the defender and then become completely useless for that play. Edited

Came back to this game from a long break, was pleased to find new updates! However, the difficulty has been jacked up considerably, almost to the point of it not being fun. Particularly kick returning, in which all of the blockers for the returner get pancaked almost every time. If the difficulty is medium or above, defensive players can jump sixteen feet in the air to intercept passes. And what's with only gaining 3% of fans for winning a game decidedly, and losing 15%+ for losing at all?

fun game, but I just wish they made running the ball a little more fun. doesn't seem like its worth it at all to run the ball even if your RB is a high level, even bad defenses will instantly tackle him and you'll lose yards. running the ball is a really important aspect of football, not sure why this game is so against that and forces you to pass literally every play just to get yards.

Love this game! I started out playing it on the PC. It was frustrating, getting a lot of interceptions at first, but you have to throw ahead. Go to the retrobowl subreddit too, they're a great community for help. Edit: I hate updating a game when it's good because it usually kills it... like this update just did. The fatigue is horrible... is it to spend cash to get players rested? The interceptions are back to being insane. Please roll it back. Edited
