Each team had different playbooks (ie. i remember the redskins would have tons of pre-snap motion). It truly revolutionized sports games in my opinion.

When we were 10 - 12 two of my buddies and I would be able to bang out a season over a weekend. We'd take all NFC or all AFC teams, or even all from the same division and play out all of the games. Man, I wish I had the time to do that now, even just one weekend...
The game was revolutionary. The stat tracking was the first game that I can recall being so in depth with real players. (Baseball Stars was amazing fo this too, but didn;t have realy players).
I'd love racking up the yards as Christian Okeye. Everyone loved to be Bo Jackson or Barry Sanders (rightfully so) but I always wanted to be Okeye. Dude could run you over if he was feeling "excellent" or "good" though things got tough if he was rated lower.
I still fire it up on Facebook every now and then if I'm bored at work, haha.
