GAME PLAY

To call a play, the offensive coach simply clicks on the name of the play such as "sweep-left" or enters the 2-digit identification number for that play.  In addition to having more than 40 basic plays to choose from, the offensive coach also has the option of toggling between one of seven pre-saved platoons (2 tight ends, 4 wide receivers, full house backfield or any combination possible).  The offense also has a list of options that can further enhance the play.  These options include shotgun, rollout, play-action and many others.  You can even pre-set audible calls!  Once the offensive play has been called the offensive coach chooses his ball carrier or intended receiver.

Defensive play calling is flexible and customizable.  The defensive coach selects his play and optionally his platoon (basic, nickel, dime, etc. ), play, pass coverage, coverage depth, aggressiveness, defensive line play, blitzers and other options.

Once both offensive and defensive plays have been called, the computer generates both a play result and a radio style play-by-play description.  Even penalties and injuries occur with realistic frequency.

With our video chalkboard, you have the option of watching your play results with ball movement as well as complete offensive and defensive player movement!
