In rain games, you can see the water splash around their feet. During night games, you can even see reflections of the stadium lights on their helmets. As a game progresses, the field degrades gradually, especially during rain games. Compared to Madden 99, QBC 99 has vastly better-looking players. During the game, the tackles, hits, throws, and catches all look great, with a variety of animations for each action.
Players display a variety of reactions to events.
There are sack celebrations, first down gestures, and a variety of endzone celebrations. Sometimes you'll see players celebrate when another player scores, such as a nearby teammate who pumps his fist in the air after you scamper into the endzone. In addition, players also show signs of frustration - a runner stopped for a short gain or loss may sit on the ground for an extra second dejectedly before getting up, or a player who just took a big hit may struggle to get to his feet. In addition to incredible player graphics and animations, Acclaim provides a lot of animations and graphics that add more personality to the game. The game begins with a great animated introduction, unlike Madden, that leads into the main menu.
