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!
