→Strategy
To play winning football, you, too, need to plan your plays. Notice the tendencies of your opponents. You can study your opponent's methods in this game by paying attention to the first plays shown in the message area when the computer tells you to "SELECT PLAYS." These plays are those selected by the players on the previous down. So if your opponent chose the "Off tackle" play on second down, "Off tackle" will be the first play displayed in the message area when you are selecting plays for third down. During the game, your opponent may tend to call the same plays when faced with similar situations. If you are aware of these tendencies, you will make a wiser play selection for your team.
Learn to mix your own plays. Remember, your opponent will be studying your tendencies, too.
Be sure to use the clock to your advantage. If possible, save your time-outs until late in each half, in case you are behind and need time to score. The sideline pass is often used for this purpose, too.
As with most games, you will probably increase your enjoyment of the Football module as you increase your skill in planning strategy. So plan, stay alert, and have fun playing FOOTBALL.
===Other Activities===
It will be fun to have several friends or family members represent different teams. You can set up a "football season" with games scheduled between the various teams. At the end of the season, you can plan your own Super Bowl game with a prize for the winner.
You may want to invite your friends over for a "football party." You can divide into two teams for an evening of excitement and fun. This might be especially interesting in May when everyone is missing the regular football games.
