Gameplay of NFL Football NES
We start the game by throwing the coin that will decide the Kickoff , we will make the formation our team starts automatically. When the Kicker approaches the ball you must push the A or B button to kick, with the A buttom calls for a deep kick and B gives you an onside kick, if we are receiving the kickoff, wait until the ball moves through the air towards your end zone, yes are able to catch the ball then you continue with the game.
The Offensive Play Sheet
In the form OFFENSIVE PLAY SHEET there are plays available for every type of game , in each situation we use the A and B buttons plus the crosshead as indicated in each diagram, when the A or B button is pressed a red light will turn on indicating that we have blocked that selection, until we make the selection we can leave this screen.
Once we have planned our game we will go to the formation first the players appear in the form of symbols on the field during this moment you cannot snap the ball but you can make sure of the play for your selection. You can also see the formation of the defense. After a few seconds the symbols will be replaced by the players now pressing the A snap button the ball to the Quarterback, after this we use the crosshead to move on the field, pressing the B button we can make a pass at that moment the closest player will become the receiver we move and if necessary we make a jump by pressing the B button so we grab the ball in the air.
The Defense Game Sheet
In the DEFENSE GAME SHEET form we use the D-pad with the A and B buttons, unlike the offensive form we cannot make adjustments, we can only change our defense before the symbols change to players we use the D-pad to move and pressing the A button will change the cursor to the player closest to the ball, in case you don't, the computer will do it automatically.
