NFL Overview
Alt. Names:
NFL Football, NFL Power Play Football
NFL for the NES simulates professional football with an official league license, incorporating all 28 real teams. Player names and likenesses are absent, as the game lacks the NFLPA license.
Gameplay combines a side scrolling on field view with strategic management elements. A separate physical playbook is required for team play selection, as these are not displayed on screen. The perspective shifts to close ups during passing plays, while team skill adjustments are possible but limited. The simulation includes penalties as part of its rule set.
