- It's not your RB, its your OL thats important !!! As the Dallas Cowboys
- I regularly rack up 200 + yrds against the computer. (even without E Smith,
- as he is the frailest man in the NFL according to dynamix). A couple tips.
- Run outside. Use a lead blocker. Get a fast FB (to break tackles). Run to
- the strong side. Use misdirection (there is a plar called FKRTGLT or some-
- thing like that, it means fake right, go left). Use the HB option, but
- don't throw the ball. The LB or CB will drop back into pass coverage.
- Also, EXcept for the HB option, DO NOT take control of the RB. He has more
- moves, intuition and breaks more tackles if he is computer controlled. Keep
- your hand on the joystick though, incase he starts to cut back with clear
- field in front of him (which they will do from time to time)

- > b) How do i recover a fumble? Fumble isn't even listed in the index!
-
- Just run toward the ball if you are controlling a player. If not
- someone computer controlled will run toward it and pick it up.
-
- > c) Anyone got their QB to successfully throw on the run?
-
- NO! If you roll out and are being chased, DONT throw the ball.
- your QB will always stop before he throws it and get creamed. In fact it seems
- like it even takes longer for him to get rid of the ball, as he has to stop
- and setup.
