Monday Night Football

continued
let's go to Chris Berman for an update
Another coach activity, trading, is also simple to manage. Players can be turned into free agents and drafted at will, or when all else fails, their power rankings and positions can be doctored to suit the team's needs. Most importantly for the football strategist, player and team statistic tracking is extensive.
If you are the proud owner of opposable thumbs and want to put them to good use, there are much better action games on the market. Monday Night Football might be a good choice for a coaching challenge, but it runs awfully slow and has outrageous hardware requirements for a statistics-only game. Also, generally flaky behavior like stuttered speech, disappearing graphics, unrealistic field goals (I kicked a 69-yarder, which proceeded to excuse itself and leave the stadium), unresponsive keystrokes, and uncalled penalties take away from the game's enjoyment. So if you're ready for some football--a Monday night party--turn on your TV when the time is right, because all my rowdy friends think that this game bites.
tips
-Get a new, powerful PC.
-While waiting 40 minutes for the other teams to finish playing, don't mindlessly click your mouse. The clicks will be remembered and performed when the simulation is finished.
-Switch Windows' screen resolution to 640 by 480. The game will fill your whole screen and may play faster.

Hugh Falk has no clue about the gaming industry in general and wouldn't know a good game if it was crammed down his throat. This biography is dedicated to those hardworking programmers and quality assurance engineers who have taken the time to critique his crappy reviews of their perfect games.
