throw the ball in front of a receiver running toward the left side of the screen, simply hold left while passing.

Be careful, Maximum Passing is pressure sensitive, and takes a little bit of getting used to. Try using

Practice mode to get more comfortable with it before jumping into a regular game situation, and experiment

with switching control to the receiver immediately after the pass is released, then using speed burst to catch

up to the ball.

ADVANCED GAMEPLAY

Use these special techniques to advance to the next level.

On-The-Fly Audible System:

1. At the play-calling screen, press and hold Z.

2a. Highlight Play #1 and press the AButton.

2b. Highlight Play #2 and press the B Button.

2c. Highlight Play #3 and press the XButton.

3. Now release Z, find the play you want to run, and press the X Button to select it.

4. At the Line of Scrimmage, press the YButton.

5. You’ll see that Play #1, #2, and #3 are listed in the offensive audible overlay.

On-The-Fly Play Flipping:

1. Your team can be on either Offense or Defense.

2. Prior to the snap, press the Y Button to bring up the audible overlay.

3. While the audible overlay is onscreen, press the Z Button.

4. The whole team will flip their assignments, and the play will go in other direction.

On-The-Fly Hot Routes:

Defense, Pre-Snap:

1. When on defense, wait until offense breaks huddle.

2. Highlight the desired player, then press the Z Button. The selected player will now blitz on the play.

3. Highlight a defensive back, then press up or down on the C-stick. All defensive backs assigned to a

specific receiver will tighten up their coverage and move closer to the line of scrimmage, or play off of the

receiver and move back from the line. (This is dependent on the coverage picked – See note below)

4. Highlight a defensive back, then press left or right on the C-stick. Now all defensive backs assigned to a

specific receiver will shift to cover the inside or outside of his man. (This is dependent on the coverage

picked – See note below)

5. The third and fourth directions above also apply to linebackers, although to a slightly different degree, as

they aren’t in coverage as often, and usually will just shift in the desired direction.

Note: Remember that the ability to shift players is entirely dependent on what type of coverage has been

selected. Certain coverage types will not allow for players to shift in certain directions. Also, shifting one type

of player will generally shift the others in his group (shifting a linebacker will shift all linebackers, shifting a

cornerback will shift all cornerbacks) in order to maximize defensive efficiency. Bring your favorite team into

Practice mode and experiment with different types of defenses and different hot routes to get a feel for what

works where.

Sega Sports Tip – Know Your Defense

When choosing a defensive play, it’s extremely important to understand the situation and know which

players and which coverages are appropriate for that play. There are three choices that need to be made

before your team sets up on the field. Here’s a quick breakdown:

#1 - Personnel

Your first choice will be selecting what types of players to put out on the field. Here’s a quick rundown of

your basic packages:

Goalline – 5 Linemen, 3 Linebackers, and 3 Defensive Backs. The Goalline defense is best used in stopping

short yardage situations, like a crucial 3rd & Inches play. Be careful though, because if the offense crosses

you up and decides to pass, there’s a good chance you’ll get burned.

4-3 – Your base defense. 4 Linemen, 3 Linebackers, and 4 Defensive Backs. Your LBs will be better at

stopping the run, so choose a 4-3 on plays where the other team is more likely to be running the ball.

Nickel – 4 Linemen, 2 Linebackers, and 5 Defensive Backs. Now you’re leaning a bit more toward the pass,

with speedier players less adept at run-stopping but better prepared to guard against a throw.

Dime – 4 Linemen, 1 Linebackers, and 6 Defensive Backs. This defense is geared toward the pass, and is

best used in long yardage situations.

Prevent – 3 Linemen, 1 Linebacker, and 7 Defensive Backs. The Prevent defense is generally reserved for

extremely long yardage situations, as it essentially concedes the short gain to keep the other team from

breaking off a huge play.

Note: Some teams may have slightly different initial defensive packages, such as the 3-4, the 46, or the

Bear. Take your favorite team into practice mode to see what packages their defensive scheme includes.

#2 – Fronts

Once you’ve selected who will be out on in the field, it’s time to figure out what they’ll be doing, beginning

with the defensive line. Scroll through the various fronts to see your options. Think the other team will be

running it up the middle? Try “All In”, which brings all the linemen in and clogs up the middle. Want one of

your linebackers to blitz? Use “Fan” to open up the line a little bit and give him some space to get through.

There are several more available. It’s up to you to decide what to do based on the situation.

#3 – Coverages

Now that the linemen have jobs, it’s time to decide what everyone else will be doing. There are four basic

assignments you’ll see given to the linebackers and defensive backs, which are as follows:

Bump ‘n’ Run – Designated in the play diagram by a T or upside-down T. The defender will play close to the

receiver coming off the line and give him a little bump to try and throw off his timing.

Man – Designated in the play diagram by a short line. The defender will stick with his man regardless of

where he goes. Man coverages give your defense a little more freedom to be aggressive, but make sure

your backs are talented enough to cover their man one-on-one.

Zone – Designated in the play diagram by an orange circle. The defender will stay in his general zone rather

than stick with a specific man. Zone coverages are a bit safer than man coverages, as you’ve typically got

someone else to pick up the slack if one man gets beat.

Blitz – Designated in the play diagram by a longer line extending through the line of scrimmage. Blitz a

player or two if you really want to be aggressive and try to pressure the QB into making a bad decision. But

once again, be careful, because if he doesn’t get to the QB fast enough, the blitzer will be leaving either his

man or his zone potentially more open or vulnerable.

Choose wisely. Learn which types of plays are best suited for which types of situations. Figure out when it

pays to be aggressive and when it’s a good idea to play it safe. The better you know your defense, the better

chance you’ll have of shutting down the other team when it counts most.

Offense, Pre-Snap:

1. Choose a pass play, and wait until QB is under the Center.

2. Nudge the C-stick in any of 8 directions:

• Up is a Fly Route

• Down is a Screen Route

• Left/Right are In or Out Route*

• Up + Left/Right is either a Post or Corner Route*

• Down + Left/Right is either a Fade or Slant route*

• You can also push the ZButton to have a player stay back and block

3. Now press the button of the receiver to which you want to assign the chosen route.

4. After selecting a receiver, you should hear the QB bark out an audible.

5. The chosen receiver will now run the modified route (or stay back and block).

* Depends on what side of the field the receiver is on.

Advanced Line Moves:

1. In the Pause Menu, select Options and ensure that Advanced Line Moves are set to ON.

2. Get on Defense, and before the snap select a Defensive Lineman.

3. Wait until ball is hiked.

4. Immediately press and hold L (to go left - Rwill go right).

5. Upon contact with a blocker, press a face button (A, B, X, Y).

6. If timed right, your lineman will execute a special move:

• The AButton performs a bull rush

• The BButton performs a shove

• The XButton performs a spin move

• The Y Button performs a swim move

OFFENSE

Prior to the Snap

• If you want to switch control to another player (multiplayer only), press the XButton. The player that picked

the play will control the QB, and someone will always automatically be given control of the player with the

ball once the play is run.

• To switch control of players in any direction, press and hold the XButton and move the Control

Stick/+Control Pad in the desired direction.

• To hustle your team to the line of scrimmage after selecting your play, press the AButton.

• To bark out a hard count and try to get the defense to jump offside, press the XButton after the QB is

under center.

• To survey the field to check defensive parings, review receiver button assignments, and assess player

status, press R.

• To view receivers‘ routes before the snap, press and hold Rto survey the field, then Lto bring up the

routes.

• To call an audible, press the YButton to access the offensive audible menu, then press the button that

corresponds to the audible you want to call.

• To snap the ball, press the AButton.

Passing Plays

• To take control of the QB after the snap, move the Control Stick to step back or scramble out of the

pocket.

• To throw to a receiver, press the button that corresponds to the receiver you want to throw to. Keep in mind

that the harder you press the button, the harder the pass will be thrown.

• To scramble with the QB, press and hold R.

• To pump fake a pass, quickly tap any receiver button twice to get the QB to fake in that receiver’s direction.

Sega Sports Tip – Understanding Play Names

When throwing the ball, make sure you understand how the play is designed to work. The number at the

beginning of each play generally indicates how many steps the QB is supposed to drop back before

throwing the ball. Here is a quick rundown:

50 – The QB will take a 5-step drop. (Example: “50 T Zone Out”)

90 – The QB will take a 3-step drop. (Example: “90 T Hitch”)

1XX – A play action play. The QB will fake a handoff to the RB before passing. “PA” will sometimes also

indicate these plays. (Example: “PA 152 Z Stop -n- Go”)

2XX – The QB will roll out before passing. These plays will sometimes also be indicated by “RO”. (Example:

“RO 210 H Flare”)

It is a good idea to let the CPU perform the drop back or roll out for you while you make your reads. Then,

when the QB has finished, make your throw quickly, as this is the time when the receivers will be expecting

the ball. Of course, you can always manually break out of any drop back or roll out animation at any time,

but keeping in line with the play specs can be crucial to running an effective offense.

Rushing Plays / Run After the Catch

• The handoff from QB to a running back is automatic after you take the snap. As soon as the ball carrier

gets the football, you take control of him.

• To run, move the Control Stick in the direction you want to go.

• For a speed burst, repeatedly press the AButton and explode through holes.

• To charge your player up for more effective special moves (like Juke, Dive, and Stiff Arm), press and hold

the AButton until the arrow underneath your player fills up.

• To cover up the ball and get an extra quick (but short) burst of speed, press the AButton again when you

have full power.

• To dive forward, press the BButton. If you are running a QB sneak or controlling the QB across the line of

scrimmage, he will perform a hook slide.

• To perform a spin move, press the XButton. If there is no contact with a defender, your player will simply

stutter-step, but upon contact, he will spin off of the other player.

• To hurdle over a downed man or over a potential tackler, press the YButton.

• To throw a stiff-arm with your left or right arm, press L/R.

• To juke to the left or right, press C-stick left or C-stick right.

• To lower your head and perform a shoulder charge, press Land Rsimultaneously.

• After the play, press the YButton to induce the no-huddle offense and quickly run the previous play over

again. Press the BButton after the play to quickly spike the ball, which stops the game clock and can be

used in lieu of a timeout. Be careful though, you will lose a down.

Sega Sports Tip – Using the Speed Burst Wisely

Use the extra speed burst (Press the AButton again when your player’s arrow is completely filled up)

carefully, as this technique can cause a player to fatigue more quickly than normal. It is best saved for

extreme cases when a quick burst is needed over a short distance. Tapping the AButton is more effective

when covering long distances.

Also, be wary of resorting to the regular speed burst right away on rushing plays. Take your time coming out

of the backfield, and let your fullback and offensive line create holes for you to run through. Once you get to

a hole, speed burst coming out of it, and then as you get into a potential breakaway situation, go all out.

Sega Sports Tip – The Icing on the Cake

If you’ve made a great play and are about to score after breaking away from the defense, ease up on the

Control Stick to have your player saunter into the endzone. There are several different versions of this

depending on which direction your player is oriented. Nothing like a victory dance or a little taunting to make

a great play feel that much better.

DEFENSE

Prior to the Snap

• To reposition your defender, push the Control Stick in the direction you want to move him.

• If you want to switch control to another player, press the XButton.

• To switch control of players in any direction, press and hold the X Button and move the Control

Stick/+Control Pad in the desired direction.

• To call an audible, press the YButton to access the defensive audible menu, then press the button that

corresponds to the new play you want to call.

• To survey the field to check receiver positioning and assess player status, press R.

• To shift your linemen left or right to take advantage of gaps in the offensive line, switch to control of a

defensive lineman and press C-stick left or C-stick right.

After the Snap

• To pursue the ball carrier, move the Control Stick in his direction.

• To get a speed burst, repeatedly press the AButton.

• To attempt a diving tackle, get within range of the ball carrier, then press the BButton.

• To switch to the defender closest to the ball, press the XButton.

• To jump and attempt to pick off or knock down a pass, or block a field goal, press the YButton.

• To charge your player up for more powerful dives and tackles, press and hold the AButton until the arrow

underneath your player fills up.

Punts and Field Goals

To punt the ball away:

for a kickoff.

Note: When receiving a punt press the YButton to call for a fair catch.
