INSTRUCTION MANUAL

INTRODUCTION

Warm up your throwing arm and get ready for an exciting virtual quarterback challenge. The Madden Football™ lets you set your team's formation on both offense and defense. When you're on offense, you must find the open receiver and get the ball off before getting sacked. To pass, you simply make a throwing motion with the unit. The motion-detection sensors built into the game can tell when you are making your throw. Drive down the field by making pinpoint passes to your open receivers. If you can outscore the computer before time runs off the clock, you win!
