A nice improvement from the GD'98 version. The player motion is captured much better on this one. A noticable difference is on GD'99,the ability to pass has become much eaiser, but running the ball has become a challenge. A fun game for any f'ball enthusist

This football game is the biggest dissapointment in Playstation history. I don't know which is worse dick enberg repeating the same line every play or phil simms talking about a play that didn't even happen.

I enjoyed the game on the most part, but I found plenty of bugs in it. For one, I never once saw an interception occur in the endzone. You could hit Deion Sanders in the hands with a pass and it would only be a deflection in the endzone. If you're playing against the Eagles at Philadelphia, after most plays it will say "Tonight they play the Buffalo Bills". Uh, yeah. I would also consider the Artificial Intelligence pretty weak, like the team kicking an extra point when behind by 2, and never changing defenses even if you run the same play over and over again. There are no such thing as holding penalties, blocked punts, or fumbles unless you tackle a pitch man before he even has the ball. The most frustrating problem that I encountered was late in a season, when it would often say that I was playing the pro bowl game even though i was on game 12 or 13, and if i tried to access this file on memory card it would lock up indefinitely. I had this problem with multiple memory cards and playstation units. But, overall, I would still have to say that the game itself is entertaining, mainly due to the graphics. I have recently purchased Gameday 2000, and they seemed to have fixed most of the little bugs, but I'm starting to uncover some of it's own.

Forget about the kids....I can't get a grown man to stop playing this game. Must be a lot of fun.

This has to be one of the worst video games ever released. Although the graphics are impressive and the options are strong, 989 Studios should refund to everyone their $40-50 that was originally paid for this game. I have never bought or played a video game that has more "bugs" or errors than this one. It was like these guys over at 989 studios just decided to release this poor product regardless of all of the glitches, and could care less about the qaulity of the product. My advice: Don't let these guys con you into buying another cheap quality game from them. I probably will not buy from these guys again.

Gameday was good while it lasted. When I first got it for Christmas two years ago it was a good game. But as you play it a little bit it gets rather old. THe graphics aren't the best in a game. Buy the game if you want a one time game. If you want something that you can play more then once then buy NFL Blitz 2000!

This game is easy to learn and has fast gameplay that make it one of the better football games on any platform. However, a serious gamer will notice many problems. The play has noticable slowdown during multiple player games. Trading players is more complicated than on previous versions. My major complaint is the games inability to keep accurate statistics over a season, especially for defensive players. Overall I would recommend this game to players who want to challenge their friends to some one on one, but serious fotball strategists should look elsewhere.

This is still agreat football game, but there is not really enough new since last year's title. The graphics are really good, but they look all to similar to last year's. The gameplay is the best yet, and it is set aside by some great commentary and rock music clips that keep the action flowing along quite nicely.

This is a solid NFL simulation, but it does have several problems. First, the good things. It probably has the best running game ability of any Playstation game (at least the one's I've played, NCAA football, Madden). The passing game is good, though there are several plays that the computer just can't stop, which I guess most games have. The controls are good, and make sense. The graphics are good compared to contemporary games.

Now the downsides; after about three games (maybe less), you're going to be praying to Phil Simms to shut his trap. His comments drive you nuts, and there are a couple of players that have mismatched comments programmed to them. If you're a stat freak like I am, you'll be bothered that it doesn't track stats very accurately. There are several categories that the computer can't track for human controlled teams. Also, I played about three seasons, and I think I got one sack by the computer-controlled lineman. Conversely, you can sit back with the free safety and pick off pass after pass. You can play multiple seasons, but there is not draft, lifetime stat tracking, or retirement worked into the game, which doesn't make much sense if you're going to have multiseason capability.

Overall, a decent game for being as old as it is, but certainly not perfect.

this game was pretty kool, but it has some problems like any other game. First of all the passing game was horrible! In NFL Blitz all you have to do is run to the ball. In this game you have to go to the X and then press triagle when the pass came. It was exteremly hard to time it correctly. It was also hard to defend the pass. You would have to run to the recever and swat the ball away with triagle. This was also herd to time. The running game, however was very good. You could do many tricks to burn the defender in your path. This includes spining, cuting back, and running right through the person. The graphics were exeptional,and the gameplay was fun. I also liked how you could pick from a wide variety of plays. Over all I thought the game was fun and enjoyable.
