Running
You can run on any down. Push the joystick to
move your player in any direction.
Passing
You also have the option to pass on any down. To
pass the ball, first snap to your quarterback. Be
careful to stay behind the line of scrimmage! Wait for
one of your men to get clear, aim the joystick
toward him, and then press Button 3 to release the
pass. You can continue to control the ball slightly by
using the joystick until the pass is caught or falls to
the ground. Make sure an opponent isn't in range of
your pass because you might get intercepted! If the
pass is complete, you control the receiver and can
continue to run downfield.
Kicking
You also have the option of punting and kicking
field goals. To attempt a punt, first set your men up
in any formation. Once your opponent sets up his
men, press Button 2 to change your men to punt
formation. Press Button 4 to snap the ball to your
punter. Just like passing, point your joystick in the
desired direction of your kick and press Button 3.
