Matches are played from a top-down football field view, with pre-snap play selection for offense, defense, and special teams. On offense, players can call passing, rushing, and route-based plays from the playbook, then control the quarterback, running back, or receivers in real time. Defense focuses on formations, coverage, and blitz calls, while season-style progression lets players move through games and playoffs.

Strategy
Learn a few reliable short-pass and running plays first, since they are safer than forcing deep throws. On defense, switch control to the player best positioned to cut off lanes or pressure the quarterback. In close games, play conservatively in the red zone and avoid high-risk throws into coverage.
