Analog Camera System™
SCEA Inc. has developed an astounding new way to view the game from the playing field for NCAA GameBreaker '98. This version gives you a unique real-time perspective with a camera implementation called the Analog Camera System (ACS). ACS allows you to view the field like a quarterback.
Using the Analog controller, make sure that the indication light in the middle of the controller is set to red. This will give you full use of the Analog controller.
When the game begins, you can control the ball carrier with the left joystick and gain a real-time view of the playing field with the right joystick. At no other time has there been a way to run in one direction with the ball and look in the other to find a possible hole, avoid blindside hits, or setup a block. With ACS, you can now compete on a level playing field with the defense.
To use ACS:
•
On offense, after the ball is snapped, immediately press down on the right joystick and keep it held down throughout the play. An ACS icon will appear at the bottom of the screen indicating that the ACS feature is in use.
•
As you control the ball carrier with the left joystick, move the right joystick Right/Left to scan a direction of the field.
•
Make adjustments in running based on your perception of the defensive pursuit of the ball.
•
Release the right joystick to deactivate ACS.
Multi-Player Competition
Adding a Multi tap allows you to play a five player game. If you have two Multi taps, up to eight people can play.
Fatigue
Some players become fatigued as the game progresses. If a player slowly walks up to the line of scrimmage, he is tired and will perform below his attributes. Make a substitution to get a fresh player into the game. See Substitutions for more details.
