Walter Payton Football — About this game
Build drives with running and passing plays, then switch to defense when possession changes. Choosing a play sets the plan, but moving the active player and timing passes or tackles determines what happens on the field. Passing plays let you direct the ball toward a receiver, while a runner can dive for extra distance. Keep the down and distance in mind instead of chasing a big gain on every play.
