The gameplay is focused on executing predefined plays and controlling various players on the field. There are 24 options to choose from, including "Joe's Play" for help with tricky situations. The game has an arcade-like feel, with simple controls and no advanced coaching features.
On the defensive side, you can control any player you want, while on offense, you'll have to choose between the quarterback, a receiver, a running back, or the kicker. This allows for different strategic approaches depending on the situation.
