Immerse yourself in intense football action in a football sim game. Whether you want to be on the sidelines calling the shots, making the trades, and deciding on strategy, or crossing the touchdown line yourself, there is a football game for you.
The PC versions of sports games are no longer a major focus for game developers, EA included. EA's "Madden NFL 2008" received minor updates. The new additions are few tweaks and a new mini-game in the drill mode. Despite the lack of big changes, it's still the choice for the action-orientated football sim. Namely because EA signed exclusive license agreement from the NFL. That's right, EA has no competition. Skip it if you have a recent version, otherwise, it's your only choice for a football game licensed by the NFL.
"Backyard Football" is a kid's football game, but great for adults who are not looking for serious, and intense gameplay. NFL players are featured as children in the range of 5 to 10 years old. The assistance coach mode will help younger children play the football sim.
"Football Mogul" is about the management, strategic part of a football team. You are responsible for trading players, setting stadium expenses, signing free agents, and more. A great game, my only complaint being the interface. It has an uninviting Windows feel to it.
