1.0 out of 5 stars Some good aspects, but made cheaply, September 4, 2005

Some great game calling features like the game you would expect, but not as good as one might expect for the price.

Pro:
-Amazing play calling
-Play your favorite team
-Add the weather factor
-Cool sound and voice overs... I was surprised and impressed

Con:
-Don't expect a manual with this classic adaptation. You'll need to download it to enjoy the advanced schemes and play calling.
-There's no CD, so if the card gets zapped (like mine did) you'll lose it forever. Make the back up before you play!
-Adverse weather options, like snow, are for the computer's benefit only. Don't expect a white playing field.

Bottom line: not recommended. I did not have it very long (it crashed and I lost everything because there was no CD). I was surprised that the big box it came in was essentially empty. Looks like the manufacturer decided to go cheap and leave out the CD and manual, two items I would have appreciated as I needed them. If they had these, would have ranked 4 of 5 stars. Lack of snow and other stuff cost them the last, 5th star.

It is better as it comes on a CD and the Graphics and play calling are great but the biggest pet peeve i have is you cannot save a game whikle playing and it is easy to hit a button and take your self off the game which like i said the game does not save games so if you are at 1:00 to go in the fourth quarter and you hit a wrong button you lose your game and must start over. EA is a cheap company that really should be held accountable for this garbage packaging No manual either have to download that. Way to expensive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Game Play!, February 20, 2007

This game is great for PDA Play! Obviously you're not going to get the same results as if you were playing on a home PC but, it shares many of the original game features like you might expect. Actually, the game play calls are quite amazing! Voice-overs and sound effects are very impressive! You can play your favorite team and even add a weather factor for added difficulty. The manual is available on line and can be viewed and printed from there. The game is loaded on the included SD Card which fits into the expansion slot. You should backup this SD card in case you zap the card with static electricity. Overall, this is a very cool game and should be a part of your PDA Software library. I give it 5 Stars!
