The real NFL schedule (CPU teams played each other). The real Playoffs. Stat tracking. Run of the mill stuff now, but for those of use that grew up with Atari (and other 2nd Gen consoles), TSB was incredible.

The term sim didn’t really exist in the old days because nothing was all that realistic but the original Tecmo and possibly super Tecmo (can’t recall) had 9 players on the field when Madden famously insisted his game featured 11 on 11. Based on that and the players flying 10 yards when tackles got broken made it arcade to me. Still one of the most entertaining football games of all time either way
