49.0. "Looking for Footballx2" by ATEAM::WATKINS (I'd rather be snowmobiling) Wed Jan 13 1988 13:17

    Could someone tell me the name of any football games for the NES??
    
    I would really like to find one that can be played by two players
    "head to head".

49.110 yard fight...booooASD::LOWLife begins at 80�Wed Jan 13 1988 14:4822
    10 Yard fight - A head to head football game.
    
    It really isn't that good, though.  Passing is very difficult, and
    you can't pick your formation or receiver route.  You just take
    what the computer gives you for a line up.  The defender gets a
    choice of a linebacker to control (2 choices), and the guy on
    offense can lateral right or left, or pass to the receiver.
    The receiver always starts on the right side, and goes in motion
    to the left.  When you want him to stop, you press button A.
    Then he goes out (straight) 10 yards and waits forever.
    
    Also, the game does not understand the 3 dimensional nature of
    football.  Any opposing player between the passer (either the QB
    or one of the running backs) and the receiver will intercept the
    ball.  (Boo)
    
    If anybody out there has this game, I would like to know how 
    to punt or try for a field goal.  My cartridge came without 
    instructions.

49.2Punt or KickPOBOX::BAYLESSMon Jul 18 1988 15:584
    to punt pull back on the joystick, or press down on the controller
    after hiking the ball then you will get an arrow, and you can punt
    or kick.  Field goals you will have to be within the 25 to have
    a chance.

            I was also disappointed with the 10 Yard Fight Football
            game. I was rather bored with it the second day I used
            it. There doesn't seem to be any challenge in playing
            against the "computer". Even in the Super Bowl level!

            In response to the question about how to punt or kick:
            at the start of your play you should press down on the
            A button and the down direction key at the same time.
            This puts you in kick mode. Then press the A button
            again to kick.
