NFL 97 brings football excitement to the Sega Saturn, with its debut in the console market. The game moves into the world of polygonal 3D graphics, similar to its PC counterpart, but features unique modes, teams, and options.
The game includes the 30 teams of the 1996 NFL season, the 1996 All-Madden team, plus 68 classic teams from NFL history. Playing modes include Exhibition, Season and Tournament. All scheduled games during a season can be either played or simulated. The tournament is for either 8 or 16 players in single elimination mode.
The game boasts many features familiar to fans of the series: variable weather (including night games), injuries and substitutions, ten different penalties (all adjustable), two skill levels, a bluffing mode for play calling, color commentary by John Madden, instant replays, and team roster editing with player creation (stats are set from a point pool). Player records and season progress can be saved to memory card/backup RAM.
A new feature in NFL 97 allows players to change which team is controlled at any time during the game. The stadiums are rendered in polygonal texture-mapped 3D, with only the players, referees, and ball as bitmaps. The game offers eight different camera perspectives, including views from the end zones, sidelines, a diagonal view, and a "classic cam" emulating earlier titles.
