Why I still love this game:

Stacking your defense with "Big Hit" abilities and pounding on the offense really wears a team down and it really affects the offense long term. . If you keep laying the wood - big hits, gang-tackles, those iffy-late hits, shots to the QB, hitting WRs to jar balls loose, etc - you'll start to notice little things out of the offense. The QB will be off mark on throws, RBs run with lead legs, and receivers will alligator-arm catches - Alvin Harper, I'm looking at you!

Of course, all this can be countered, which is what makes the game still a joy today: every ability in this game has an equal and opposite ability.
