NFL Quarterback Club 98

released on Oct 24, 1997

Do you have the courage to be an NFL quarterback? The same folks that brought you TUROK have turned their attentions to the gridiron and have brought great graphics, realistic action, and lots of options to the sport. With full licenses from the NFL and its athletes, the game has all of the teams and players, plus perfect replications of logos and stadiums. Just to assure that the artificial intelligence was high and the gameplay realistic, the developers coaxed Brett Favre into designing some of the plays.

Another American Football game released on the same day as Madden 64, and it feels mostly the same. This done does seem a bit quicker without having to watch the referee as much, and all tackles looked like actual tackles instead of players just flopping over for no reason. Based on that, I would say that this is better, but I don’t know the sport at all.

I did get some enjoyment out of this one, too. The cheats add some quite funny options, such as making players move like old electronic American football games, making them spin around or making them all bum shuffle. I have no idea if this is a good American football game, but I got a couple of laughs from it.

At the time of its release it was one of the most advanced football games in terms of graphics and presentation. I remember being blown away by the fact that you could clearly see the names of the players in their jerseys and spend a lot of time in replay mode just to check the new "pristine" graphics and next gen animations.

Gameplay was decent for the time but a bit on the tanky side of things.

A hidden gem of a football game. Incredibly fun. Expansive replay mode for the 1998 games. Obviously didn't age amazingly, but very good for its time.
