Playing a Single Game Calling Plays The fastest way to get into the on-field action is to play a single game. All of your favorite teams are available. Once you start a game, you need to know how to call plays. NFL Fever offers deep playbooks designed with the help of professional players and coaches. To start a single game: 1. From the Main Menu, select Single Game. 2. Choose the teams for your game. 3. Choose your game options. 4. Assign your controller to a team. 5. Press A to begin your game.
If you are comfortable picking your own plays, you’ll love NFL Fever’s deep playbooks. With the help of our consultants, we’ve provided state-of-the-NFL plays. To select all other plays: 1. From the playpicker, select a formation. 2. Select a sub-formation. 3. Select one of the plays shown. COACH’S TIP When you’re in the playpicker, press Black to open a Help window that explains the symbols used in the diagrams and provides information about each formation’s personnel, strengths, and weaknesses.
Pre-snap Strategy Reading a Defense Before you snap the ball, you can get an idea of how successful your play will be by seeing how the defenders are lined up. With practice, you will know when you have called a play that is attacking the defense’s strength. When you recognize that situation, you can call an audible or, if it is a pass play, change a receiver’s route at the line of scrimmage by using a hot route. To call an audible: 1. When the quarterback is set, press Black to display available audibles.
Reading an Offense When playing defense, look at the offense’s formation and personnel to get a feel for what they will do before the ball is snapped. Offensive Positioning Cues How many receivers and tight ends are on the field? Three or more wide receivers indicate a pass play is coming. When two or more tight ends are in the game, look for the offense to run the ball. Where is the tight end lined up? The side of the formation where the tight end lines up is the “strong side” of the offensive formation.
Pausing a Game Scoreboard When playing a game, you can call time outs when you need them. In addition, you can use the Paused Game menu to see replays, set gameplay options, adjust camera views, see the box score, change audibles and hot routes, make substitutions, and save or quit the game. Of course, you need to know the score, how much time remains in your game, and how many time outs you have remaining. Here’s a look at the items displayed on NFL Fever’s scoreboard: To call a time out: 1.
Practice Managing Your Team All play and no work could make your team a playoff wannabe. Just like in the real NFL, you need to put in time on the practice field to improve your game-playing skills.

From the Main Menu, enter General Manager to make personnel and strategy decisions. The changes you make here will be applied in Single Game mode.
Managing Your Dynasty Customizing Your Team In Season mode, you can create a Dynasty that lasts for up to 25 seasons. Dynasty mode gives you access to the powerful team management tools available from the Main Menu’s General Manager and more. With Uniform/Stadium Editor, you can change a franchise’s location, uniforms, and stadium. You can choose from more than 70 locations around the world and more than a dozen uniforms created just for NFL Fever.
Dynasty: Keys to Success Saving and Loading Files You can control a franchise for as many as 25 seasons in Dynasty mode. If you plan on building a team that annually competes for the championship and sends a host of players to the Hall of Fame, then you need a plan.
