Practice allows the players to practice any of the ten events. Single decathlon is the Olympics simulation. Also included is a campaign mode in which the players competed in a series of meets. After completing a decathlon, players will gain skill points as they gain more and more experience. Multi player Up to eight players can play Decathlon although no online support is included.
Players create their own individual athletes and then take turns on the events.
Athletes can be saved and used in future games. In Multi player mode the running events occur in heats with each player runs in a separate heat. Bugs in prerelease software are not uncommon but since this version was received just days before the release date of July 1st, I don't see how they can be fixed before the release. Software bugs include frame skips in the running events, a timer that keeps going after your athlete crosses the finish line in the 1500 meter race, poor mouse tracking and invisible opponents who pass you on the overhead view but are no where to be seen on the track view. I would have also like to see some kind of commentary during the competition.
