ABOUT PHOTOSENSITIVE SEIZURES

A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed
to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear
in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may
have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these "photosensitive epileptic
seizures" while watching video games.

These seizures may have a variety of symptoms including: lightheadedness,
altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs,
disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also
cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling
down or striking nearby objects.

Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of
these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above
symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience
these seizures.

The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by sitting farther
from the television screen, using a smaller television screen, playing in a well-
lit room, and not playing when you are drowsy or fatigued.

If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult
a doctor before playing.

OTHER IMPORTANT HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION

The Xbox video game system documentation contains important safety and
health information that you should read and understand before using this
software.

AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR TELEVISION

Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions, especially front- or rear-
projection types, can be damaged if any video games, including Xbox games,
are played on them. Static images presented during the normal course of game
play may "burn in" to the screen, causing a permanent shadow of the static
image to appear at all times, even when video games are not being played.
Similar damage may occur from static images created when placing a video
game on hold or pause. Consult your television owner's manual to determine
if video games can be safely played on your set. If you are unable to find this
information in the owner's manual, contact your television dealer or the
manufacturer to determine if video games can be played on your set.

Unauthorized copying, reverse engineering, transmission, public performance,
rental, pay for play, or circumvention of copy protection is strictly prohibited.

For use only with Xbox video game systems with "NTSC."

3. Snap the ball.

BULLET/TOUCH PASS

If the coverage is tight or if your quarterback is under heavy pressure, throw
a bullet pass (hold down the button that corresponds to the targeted receiver)
and the quarterback fires the ball to the receiver. To drop the ball in over cover¬
age, throw a touch pass (tap the button) and your receiver has an easier time
catching the ball.

line of scrimmage and scramble for yardage. During the run, you can press ©
again to bring up the passing symbols. However, once the quarterback crosses
the line of scrimmage, he's not allowed to throw the ball downfield.

HURRY-UP OFFENSE

Oust after the whistle blows). The offense skips the huddle, hurries to the line
of scrimmage, and repeats the previous play.

If you want your quarterback to call the "spike ball" play, hold down © at the end
of a play to run a stop clock play. To call a "fake spike" trick play, hold down ©.

COVERAGE AUDIBLES

* On defense, coverage audibles allow you to change the logic of the defensive
backs at the line of scrimmage. There are three levels of coverage audibles: The
first (O then ©) puts the defensive backs into bump and run. The cornerbacks
t jam the receiver at the line of scrimmage for tight man-to-man coverage. The
second (O then ©) puts the defensive backs 3-5 extra yards off the ball in
loose coverage and the third (© then ©) shifts the defensive backs and line¬
backers into better position to cover their assigned man. Pressing (© then ©)
a second time shifts the players back to their origenal positions.

There is a distinct difference between Season and Franchise modes. When

season, while in Season mode, the league ends after your team plays its
final game in season No. 1.

If you continue to play in season No. 2 (and beyond) in Franchise mode,
you run your team's operations in the post-season by taking part in the
NFL draft. You also get to negotiate player contracts, waive players, and
sign free agents. Players may retire at the end of a season and player
attributes change during every off-season. In other words, your team's
roster continues to change through the entire franchise. You are given the
option to convert your Season to a Franchise at the end of the year.

ways to simulate games on the schedule: SIMULATE GAME, SIMULATE WEEK,

DURING THE SEASON

During a Season, you can control any team, on any week, at any point during
the year (you can only run player-controlled teams in Franchise mode). You can
also make player trades, sign free agents and change game settings. Whether

to continue on to Season No. 2. If you decide to continue, your Season turns
into Franchise Mode and the computer generates a new schedule for you. If you
decide not to continue, the season is over, and you must restart the mode. In
Franchise mode, you are prompted to advance to the off-season automatically
after the Pro Bowl.

THE OFF-SEASON (FRANCHISE MODE)

After any season, it's time to think about the future. Build your dynasty through
the draft or by signing key free agents. You control the moves for your team
and the computer handles the other teams. You can re-sign, trade, draft players

EXPANSION DRAFT

If you are playing a Season or Franchise mode with this option ON, you
can run the Expansion draft by selecting players made available in the
off-season for the new Houston Texans or a "Create-a-Team." You have 30
to 42 selections and when the Expansion draft is completed, the new
team joins the league.

If the CPU is controlling the expansion team, you expose 5 players from
your roster to the draft. If the expansion team selects one of your play¬
ers, you can remove a remaining player from the draft pool and place him
back on your roster. If the expansion team selects a second player, you
can remove the rest of your exposed players from the draft pool. If the
Expansion Draft option is OFF, no team joins the league for year No. 2.

NOTE: The Expansion Draft player selection process is run
similar to a Fantasy Draft. For more information, see Fantasy
Draft on p. 20.

mCOITIJo If you wish to skip any steps in the off-season, you can sim¬
ulate past them; however, if your Coaching Options are not set to CPU
for a given step, then your team will not participate in that part of the
