    Picked this up for the low, low price of $4.90 at Staples yesterday and while it has some issues, it is pretty fun.

    However, I absolutely suck at the game. The movement keys are offset one from the standard battlefield layout and my hand constanly slides over one key and of course nothing works :?

    The other issue is that the default setup has the spacebar as the timeout. What do you think happens on about every other play? Sarge hits the space bar and it pauses the game mid play and usually this somehow seems to result in a Touchdown for the opposing team if they have the ball.


    despite the general awfulness of my play I am enjoying the game. I can generally run the ball ok, but passing is really hit or miss. On defense, I am completely lost and have to rely on the computer controlled players to know enough about what they are doing to keep me in the game.

    I figured out at least part of the problem. The game is automatically set to the "Pro" level. No wonder I was getting my ass handed to me. played a game this afternoon and my Patriots wooped up on the Texans 56-28. My defense is still lacking though. Just haven't gotten used to the perspective and that the camera doesn't automatically follow the guy I switch to sometimes.
