than 200 total to choose from), but 
also weather factors such as tem-
perature, precipitation (rain or snow), 
and wind.The weather can become a 
key factor: High winds greatly disrupt 
both kicks and passes, while rain 
and snow may affect fi eld conditions 
and the ability to handle the ball. (Of 
course, weather is not a factor when  
playing in a domed stadium.) 

Once the teams and stadium are 

selected, the “Select Controller” 
screen appears; you can select which 
team you want to play with as well 
as choose a specifi c player profi le 
and/or change offensive/defensive 
playbooks or team uniform colors. 

Note that many of the customiza-

tion factors described above (such as 
weather, stadium, playbooks, team 
uniforms, etc.) are also available in 
other gameplay modes. 

This section is where you’ll fi nd 

the bulk of this game’s single-player 
features, including:

cruiting, coaching contracts, custom-
izable schedules, and the deepest 
stat-tracking system ever.  Find in-

200 traditional team rivalries, which 
feature either special  trophies 
(which can be won and displayed in 
the player’s Trophy Room) and/or are 
historically signifi cant.  Rivalries can 
be sorted by conference or team.

The Mascot Game is a fun deviation 
from normal gameplay; instead of 
football players, both team lineups 
are fi lled with mascots from each 
chosen school.  All mascot teams 
have maximized player stats, so 
there’s no advantage to choosing 
one mascot team over another.

game’s standard Practice mode. Un-
like a regular game or practice, each 
team gets two fi ve-minute halves on 
offense.The offense starts on its own 
20-yard line and has four downs to 
get a fi rst down. If the offense fails to

two points for each fi rst down and
