This is a very good game with realistic results. It's very generic with no bells & whistles but if accurate historical replays are your thing then I'd say get it.

Developer support is good too, if you have a question he'll usually respond within 24 hours in the forum. And he's always looking to improve the game through community feedback.

I like to use the tournament feature where you can enter all the teams you want; then you either sim or play any team at any time during the tourney. I discovered the 98 Broncos are a fun team to play - their 2000 yard rusher & Elway combo is just nasty.

All the great teams are really tough to beat - the 60's Packers, 70's Steelers, 80's Niners etc. You really have to call a good game and hope for turnovers to beat them with lesser teams.

For the most part the games play out just as they should, but there are blowouts as well due to turnovers or lucky dice-rolls. The "fog of war" element feels about right to me. Take the 72 Dolphins vs the 85 Bears and you'll have a major field possession battle on your hands. Go up against the 2001 Rams and you better find a way to eat the clock.
