This person stuck his neck out on the block with this one, so befoe all you
TV sports fans can rag on him I will have my say.
John coudn't be more right about TVsports football.  If you were thinking of
buying this one don't.  Cinemaware does not need your money and you don't need
this poor excuse for a footballsimulation.  As you can tell I bought this one
and hated it.  The offnsive line doesn't move; the deffensive line doesn't
rush.  And the most anoying game feature I have seen in my life: They wanted it
to be playable for novice people so at the snap of the ball, the computer
controls your guy, and you have to forceably pull him away from computer
control.  This makes your reaction time to the play horrible!!! 
If you wan't a GREAT football simulation.  The most accurate thing on any
system is Gridiron for the Amiga. 
 
P.S. You can get Gridiron for $9.95, mailorder!
