Reception
[edit]Wyatt Lee reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "Whatever one's feelings about the game, when the plus yardage and minus yardage is added together, this action/strategy game is a watershed design."[2] The magazine said that the game's unique perspective helped players understand the difficult job of running backs and quarterbacks.[3]
