Sega Sports Tip – Maximum Passing
With Maximum Passing enabled (Press the X Button on the Team Select or Choose Sides screens), you
can lead your receiver in any direction using the D-Pad or Left Analog Stick. For example, if you want to
throw the ball in front of a receiver running toward the left side of the screen, simply hold left while passing.
Be careful, Maximum Passing is pressure sensitive, and takes a little bit of getting used to. Try using
Practice mode to get more comfortable with it before jumping into a regular game situation, and experiment
with switching control to the receiver immediately after the pass is released, then using speed burst to catch
up to the ball.

On-The-Fly Play Flipping:
1. Your team can be on either Offense or Defense.
2. Prior to the snap, press the Button to bring up the audible overlay.
3. While the audible overlay is onscreen, press the R3 Button (click the Right Analog Stick).
4. The whole team will flip their assignments, and the play will go in other direction.
On-The-Fly Hot Routes:
Defense, Pre-Snap:
1. When on defense, wait until offense breaks huddle.
2. Highlight the desired player, then press the R3 Button (click the Right Analog Stick). The selected player
will now blitz on the play.
3. Highlight a defensive back, then press up or down on the Right Analog Stick. All defensive backs
assigned to a specific receiver will tighten up their coverage and move closer to the LOS, or play off of the
receiver and move back from the LOS. (This is dependent on the coverage picked – See note below)
4. Highlight a defensive back, then press left or right on the Right Analog Stick. Now all defensive backs
assigned to a specific receiver will shift to cover the inside or outside of his man. (This is dependent on the
coverage picked – See note below)
5. The third and fourth directions above also apply to linebackers, although to a slightly different degree, as
they aren’t in coverage as often, and usually will just shift in the desired direction.
Note: Remember that the ability to shift players is entirely dependent on what type of coverage has been
selected. Certain coverages will not allow for players to shift in certain directions. Also, shifting one type of
player will generally shift the others in his group (shifting a linebacker will shift all linebackers, shifting a
cornerback will shift all cornerbacks) in order to maximize defensive efficiency. Bring your favorite team into
Practice mode and experiment with different types of defenses and different hot routes to get a feel for what
works where.
Sega Sports Tip – Know Your Defense
When choosing a defensive play, it’s extremely important to understand the situation and know which
players and which coverages are appropriate for that play. There are three choices that need to be made
before your team sets up on the field. Here’s a quick breakdown:
#1 - Personnel
Your first choice will be selecting what types of players to put out on the field. Here’s a quick rundown of
your basic packages:
Goalline – 5 Linemen, 3 Linebackers, and 3 Defensive Backs. The Goalline defense is best used in stopping
short yardage situations, like a crucial 3rd & Inches play. Be careful though, because if the offense crosses
you up and decides to pass, there’s a good chance you’ll get burned.
4-3 – Your base defense. 4 Linemen, 3 Linebackers, and 4 Defensive Backs. Your LBs will be better at
stopping the run, so choose a 4-3 on plays where the other team is more likely to be running the ball.
Nickel – 4 Linemen, 2 Linebackers, and 5 Defensive Backs. Now you’re leaning a bit more toward the pass,
with speedier players less adept at run-stopping but better prepared to guard against a throw.
Dime – 4 Linemen, 1 Linebackers, and 6 Defensive Backs. This defense is geared toward the pass, and is
best used in long yardage situations.
Prevent – 3 Linemen, 1 Linebacker, and 7 Defensive Backs. The Prevent defense is generally reserved for
extremely long yardage situations, as it essentially concedes the short gain to keep the other team from
breaking off a huge play.
Note: Some teams may have slightly different initial defensive packages such as the 3-4, the 46, or the
Bear. Take your favorite team into Practice mode to see what their defensive scheme includes.
#2 – Fronts
Once you’ve selected who will be out on in the field, it’s time to figure out what they’ll be doing, beginning
with the defensive line. Scroll through the various fronts to see your options. Think the other team will be
running it up the middle? Try “All In”, which brings all the linemen in and clogs up the middle. Want one of
your linebackers to blitz? Use “Fan” to open up the line a little bit and give him some space to get through.
There are several more available. It’s up to you to decide what to do based on the situation.
5
#3 – Coverages
Now that the linemen have jobs, it’s time to decide what everyone else will be doing. There are four basic
assignments you’ll see given to the linebackers and defensive backs, which are as follows:
Bump ‘n’ Run – Designated in the play diagram by a T or upside-down T. The defender will play close to the
receiver coming off the line and give him a little bump to try and throw off his timing.
Man – Designated in the play diagram by a short line. The defender will stick with his man regardless of
where he goes. Man coverages give your defense a little more freedom to be aggressive, but make sure
your backs are talented enough to cover their man one-on-one.
Zone – Designated in the play diagram by an orange circle. The defender will stay in his general zone rather
than stick with a specific man. Zone coverages are a bit safer than man coverages, as you’ve typically got
someone else to pick up the slack if one man gets beat.
Blitz – Designated in the play diagram by a longer line extending through the line of scrimmage. Blitz a
player or two if you really want to be aggressive and try to pressure the QB into making a bad decision. But
once again, be careful, because if he doesn’t get to the QB fast enough, the blitzer will be leaving either his
man or his zone potentially more open or vulnerable.
Choose wisely. Learn which types of plays are best suited for which types of situations. Figure out when it
pays to be aggressive and when it’s a good idea to play it safe. The better you know your defense, the better
chance you’ll have of shutting down the other team when it counts most.
Offense, Pre-Snap:
1. Choose a pass play, and wait until QB is under the Center.
2. Nudge the Right Analog Stick in any of 8 directions:
• Up is a Fly Route
• Down is a Screen Route
• Left/Right are In or Out Route*
• Up + Left/Right is either a Post or Corner Route*
• Down + Left/Right is either a Fade or Slant route*
• You can also push the R3 Button (click the Right Analog Stick) to have a player stay back and
block
3. Now press the button of the receiver to which you want to assign the chosen route.
4. After selecting a receiver, you should hear the QB bark out an audible.
5. The chosen receiver will now run the modified route (or stay back and block).
* Depends on what side of the field the receiver is on.
Advanced Line Moves:
1. In the Pause Menu, select Options and ensure that Advanced Line Moves are set to ON.
2. Get on Defense, and before the snap select a Defensive Lineman.
3. Wait until ball is hiked.
4. Immediately press and hold L1 (to go left – R1 will go right).
5. Upon contact with a blocker, press a face button ( , X, O, ).
6. If timed right, your lineman will execute a special move:
• The Button performs a shove
• The X Button performs a bull rush
• The O Button performs a spin move
• The Button performs a swim move

receiver’s direction.
• To throw the ball away, press R2. Make sure you’re outside of either of the two offensive tackles, or you’ll
be called for Intentional Grounding.
Sega Sports Tip – Understanding Play Names
When throwing the ball, make sure you understand how the play is designed to work. The number at the
beginning of each play generally indicates how many steps the QB is supposed to drop back before
throwing the ball. Here is a quick rundown:
50 – The QB will take a 5-step drop. (Example: “50 T Zone Out”)
90 – The QB will take a 3-step drop. (Example: “90 T Hitch”)
1XX – A play action play. The QB will fake a handoff to the RB before passing. “PA” will sometimes also
indicate these plays. (Example: “PA 152 Z Stop -n- Go”)
2XX – The QB will roll out before passing. These plays will sometimes also be indicated by “RO”. (Example:
“RO 210 H Flare”)
It is a good idea to let the CPU perform the drop back or roll out for you while you make your reads. Then,
when the QB has finished, make your throw quickly, as this is the time when the receivers will be expecting
the ball. Of course, you can always manually break out of any drop back or roll out animation at any time,
but keeping in line with the play specs can be crucial to running an effective offense.
Rushing Plays / Run After the Catch
• The handoff from QB to a running back is automatic after you take the snap. As soon as the ball carrier
takes the football, you take control of him.
• To run, move the Left Analog Stick in the direction you want to go.
• For a speed burst, repeatedly press the X Button and explode through holes.
