Their weak passing attack is made up by their running ability. Miami-With Marino as your quarterback, his incredible passing ability will be the center of your offense, this offense tops the league in scoring, but their defense is weak. Cleveland-The powerful running back Mack and quarterback Kosar are the center of the offense. This team has real offensive power. Denver-Elway is a popular quarterback and is almost a one man team offense. But the defense has its ups and downs. Seattle-Seatle is a team with a lot of talent. They’re coming of a strong season, but can they win the championship. Los Angeles-The two running backs Allen and Jackson are the core of the team and they display incredible strength as their running plays unfold. Their defense is tough. Washington-This is an extremely well balanced and powerful team. They are aiming for the championship with a consistent game. San Francisco-There are several stars on this team, including quarterback Montana wide receiver rice and free safety Lott. They were said to be the most powerful team last season. Dallas-Although a traditionally strong team, last season they seemed to weaken. But never count them out. This year with running back Walker they aim to make a comeback. New York-Superstar team leader Taylor holds the defense together which is out to destroy any offense. Quarterback Simms is the key to their offense and is counted on heavily. Chicago-Chicago was the top in defense last year. On offense, Chicago’s rusher, Payton has been running circles around the defenses. Minnesota-Quarterback Kramer wide receiver Carter and running back Nelson are the heart of the team, performing well executed plays. ===================================================================== **7** HOW TO WIN Passing-Always look for the open receiver never throw to a covered one because it could end up an interception. Running-Always look for the hole and go as fast as you can and make sure you use you stiff arm to avoid tackles. Interceptions-Control the player with the control cross and if you stay with your opponent like a good defender, you’ll have a chance for an interception. ===================================================================== **8** QUICK CONTROL REFERENCE ____________________________________ |Hike-A Button | |Kick-A Or B Button | Offense|Dodge A Tackle-A Button Repeatedly | |Choosing Receiver-A Button | |Throwing Pass-B Button | |____________________________________| ____________________________________ |Select Player-A Button | Defense|Diving Tackle-B Button | |Dodgeing Block-A Button Repeatedly | |____________________________________| ===================================================================== **9** CHEATS Play the Same Team These passwords let you play against the same team.
