I have played this game on and off over the years since it came out.
I finally decided to play it until I won a superbowl.
I had my Lions. Took me 5 seasons. 2 playoff appearances. Then finally the Superbowl.
I made it one game away from the superbowl in the previous season. Very exciting game. Rush to tie it with clock running down, no time outs, I didn't think I would get the snap off but somehow they lined up, snapped, touchdown. Yes!!! goin to overtime. Wait, OMFG. Missed the extra point, it bounced off the goalpost. BS BS BS.
After game I released the worthless kicker, signed the best one I could find in FA pool.
Anyway, Next year I continued to upgrade the coaches, had a very nice staff. A lot of good games. Won it all. No slider adjustments, you can come up with a good game with sliders as they are, just need the right coach upgrades and the right plays.
So, thanks EA. Great game. Lot of nice memories for me
. I love my players. lol
