Reception

Wyatt Lee reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "Whatever one's feelings about the game, when the plus yardage and minus yardage is added together, this action/strategy game is a watershed design."[2] The magazine said that the game's unique perspective helped players understand the difficult job of running backs and quarterbacks.[3]
