2013 Football Enhancements

Redesigned Opening Screen: The opening screen displays more standings, clinched division notations, upcoming games and recent results.

New Player Penalty Rating! Beginning with the 2012 season players are rated for penalties. Players who commit significantly fewer penalties than the league average for their position receive a plus (+) rating. Penalty prone players receive a negative (-) rating.

New Running Back Workhorse Rating: Running backs from all eras are assigned a workhorse rating ranging from zero to 1.0. The rating represents yardage added to any play when the defense does not call a run defense or key the runner.  This rating has always been a small part of the game engine but is now displayed so that the user can see the cost of ignoring backs that frequently carried the ball.

New Play Analysis Report! We’ve redesigned the play analysis report to make it easier to use and scroll between teams. Scouting your opponents and yourself has never been easier!

New Pass Route Information! The approximate distance of each pass plays is now displayed as part of the play analysis. A great play calling tool!

Expanded Game Sound Package! We’ve expanded the sound package to include more game sounds and crowd reactions to significant plays.

New Action! PC Referee Option! Penalty calls, including the offending players’ uniform number, are now announced by the referee. The referee also makes the announcements for replay challenges!

Updated Team Roster Screen: The team roster screen includes a new team tab displaying all game scores as well as team offensive and defensive statistics and league rankings. We’ve also added buttons to the roster screen to quickly access some of the more commonly used features: team stats, player usage, game plans, and even a button for quick access to the new play analysis report. We’ve also added a team list to the roster screen so you can easily scroll through all teams in the league. The new team scroll has been very popular with the test group as it makes it very easy to browse through other teams to scout or search for trading partners

New Route + Pass Option! You can extend the length of basic pass routes with the new route + option.  The increase in distance is of course offset by a lower completion percentage and higher interception percentage.

Redesigned Offensive and Defensive Play Call Boxes: The play call boxes and the in-game stat tab have been redesigned for ease of use.

New Quick Sub Screen: The quick sub screen has been expanded to show more helpful ratings.

New Quick Defensive Play Calls: Four new quick call buttons representing commonly used play calls, have been added to the defensive play call box; Run-Key, Pass-Short, Pass-Long and Pass-Double options are now available with one click.

Expanded Injury System: Injuries may now take a player out for the entire season and playoffs!

New "Auto Blitz" Defensive Option! Blitzing is more effective in 2013. When selected, this new defensive option uses your game plan settings to blitz players at appropriate times. No need to select blitzers every play!

New Defensive Screen Mismatch Warning: We’ve added a helpful small warning box to let you know when the opponent has you over-matched with wide receivers.

Updated Player Form: The player form includes larger and easier to read displays and a button to access player information on the internet.

New League Tools:  We’ve added tools for clearing depth charts and lineups for all teams in the league.

New Draft Tools: We’ve improved the computer drafting general manager and added preference settings for offense, defense, special teams and age.

Faster Internet Play! A game changer for internet leagues! The host and remote user now view play results simultaneously rather than one at a time. No more waiting for the other guy. The time savings is fantastic!

Improved Data Base Screen: The redesigned data base tool is easier and quicker to use and auto refreshes with every change you  make to the search filters.

Formulas Adjustments: We are always making minor adjustments to game engine formulas.  The 2013 changes are easy to see with the new play analysis tool.  Here are a few of the more significant changes for 2013. Blitz: Blitzing yields higher sack percentages with lower risk. Pass Plays: The average length of several pass plays has been changed. We've also adjusted how several pass plays are impacted by coverage depth. For example, the medium pass is no longer impacted by coverage depth. Run Defense: Depending on the era, playing run defense is now more effective with less risk. Player Usage Penalties: The severity of usage penalties at each level is now more closely related to real life usage levels.  Low usage players have very little value as they exceed usage rule limits.

New Leader Boards: League leader boards have been expanded to include leaders for blocking statistics, blocked kicks, penalty leaders for every position and more.

ACTION! PC FOOTBALL

Action! PC Football is the most comprehensive stat-based football game on the market. Action! PC Football is designed to challenge your mind and not your fingers. Play results are determined by lineups, play calls and strategy rather than joystick skill and dice rolls. You’re the coach with hundreds of strategy options available! In Action! PC Football, players are rated using every available published statistic as well as expert subjective analysis. Each player performs as he did in real life with amazing statistical accuracy. Action! PC Football also includes extensive player, team, and league statistical reports.

Play games head-to-head, over the internet, or against the computer. Relive past seasons as the coach of your favorite team; draft teams and play games in a league; let the computer manage all of the teams and watch the results; or set your coaching preferences for a specific team and let the computer play a season with your coaching profile. Any way you play, you’ll love the statistical accuracy and strategy Action! PC Football brings to your home computer.

Action! PC Football is a detailed, comprehensive, and challenging football simulation game, yet is so simple to play you may never need to refer to the manual.

 

GAME PLAY

To call a play, the offensive coach simply clicks on the name of the play such as "sweep left" or “short slant”, and then clicks the ball carrier or primary receiver. Plays may also be called by first clicking on the ball carrier or intended receiver, and then choosing from a list of available plays for that player. In addition to having more than 40 basic plays to choose from, the offensive coach also has the option of toggling between one of 12 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, roll-out, play  action, run counter, head out of bounds, and many others. You can even read the defense and call audibles at the line of scrimmage!

Defensive play calling is flexible and customizable. The defensive coach selects one of 16 platoons (4-3, 3-4, nickel, dime, etc. ), and calls a defensive play (basic, run defense, pass defense, prevent, or goal line defense). On any play, a coach can also set pass coverage style and depth, aggressiveness, defensive line play, run keys, double coverages, blitzers and many other options. The defense can even use deception tactics such as showing or disguising a blitz in order to protect against audibles, or to lure the offense into bad audibles.

Once both offensive and defensive plays have been called, the computer generates both a play result and a radio style play-by-play description. Every factor that affects real life results is built into the game formulas. On any given play, these include player ratings and statistics, strategies and play calls, field position, wind and weather, home field advantage, and player fatigue; just to name a few! Penalties, injuries, and replay challenges all occur with realistic frequency.

On special teams, choose kick off deep, kick away from the primary kick returner, squib kick, or onside kick. On punts, choose to punt deep, angle the punt, pooch punt, or fake. The return team may try to block the punt, return the punt, call for a fair catch, let the punt roll, or guard against fakes.

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!

 

INTERNET PLAY

Action! PC sports games have long been the leaders in internet play. In a few simple steps, you can connect for a single game or an entire series against any other Action! PC Football game owner—no third party software is needed! Players connect using their IP address. The game plays quickly—just like playing in the same room. After a game, click one button to send the game headline and box score to every member of your league. Click another button to send the game’s data file to the league statistician. You can even create a league address book and league website with just a few mouse clicks!

 

STATISTICS AND REPORTS

At the heart of the Action! PC Football game engine is a very powerful stats compiler.  We offer all the well known published stats as well as a host of unique statistical categories such as receiver rac, drops, bad passes, player rushing and receiving, first downs, stuffs, hurries, deflections and many more.  We offer a host reports covering boxscores, play by play, big games, salary cap, injuries, team comparison, league leaders, records, team tendencies, encyclopedia, team analysis reports and much more.

 

PLAY-BY-PLAY

Action! PC Football contains a wealth of varied and suspenseful play-by-play results. Millions of possible play-by-play descriptions are built into the game but if you would like to add your own descriptions an editor is included that allows you to edit up to 4000 lines of text. A simple "quick slant" could look something like this:

3rd and 1
2:30 left in the game
here comes the blitz
Smith back to pass
quick slant to Jones

room to run!
he could go all the way!

You decide if you'd like to challenge the ruling on the field based on the game situation and the overrule success percentage displayed on the screen. Many challenge situations are included: fumbles, down-by-contact rulings, spot of the ball on first downs and touchdowns, and many more.

 

PLAYER RATINGS

Action! PC Football makes use of every published statistic as well as subjective ratings and specialty statistics to accurately portray each player. For example:

·       Rushing: Based on attempts, yards, average, long runs, touchdowns, fumble frequency, breakaway ability, short yardage ability, rushing style and durability.

·       Receiving: Based on catches, drops, yards, average, long catches, touchdowns, fumble frequency, run after catch and durability.

·       Passing: Based on completions, interceptions, touchdowns, pass rating, yardage, times sacked, scrambling, bad passes, durability, ability under pressure and audible ability.

·       Blocking: Run and pass block ratings are given to each player.

·       Defense: Defensive players are rated for pass rush, run defense, and pass defense, as well as tackles, forced fumbles, interceptions, stuffs, deflections, hurries and durability.
