Different plays work better against different teams but there is a strong lean to the passing game. I have had more fun with this game than any other I have ever played on the computer. The controls just make sense and so does the interface. I have learned a lot about football from chosing the right defensive plays and makeing some lucky guesses and to which guy is going to get the pass and picking it off. Very few penalties or fumbles.
Interceptions happen because of good plays.
I did have two blocked extra points in one game though. They did a really good job with the graphics. I run at 1024x768 with full player detail and it looks very good. They had some fun with the celebrations and the like. You do get a lot of player clipping, bodies pass through each other and the ball can end up inside a player even during the scripted celebrations but it does not impede game play.
