The game's optimization shows promise as a first step towards creating a PC alternative to Madden, particularly with its mouse-based throw control that enhances realism. However, the teams are only rough approximations of real NFL teams, reflecting varying levels of performance based on the 2014-2015 NFL season.
- “It's clearly the first stepping stone the developer took in their quest to make an alternative to Madden on PC, but you can feel the PC optimization with the mouse-based throw control, which oddly feels far more realistic than hitting a key/button as you do in Madden.”
- “Teams are rough approximations of real NFL teams, with some being better than others based on the actual NFL performance around 2014-2015.”
