more likely to overlook these flaws and therefore enjoy the game. GameSpot similarly concluded, "To be fair, some gamers will enjoy Quarterback Club despite its shortcomings - but only if they don't know or care about realistic football." GamePro called it "Probably the most disappointing sports game of the year", remarking that while it had enough good qualities to satisfy hardcore football fans, there was no reason to prefer it over its competitor, Madden Football 64. They gave it a 4.5 out of 5 for graphics but a 3.0 for both control and sound, and a 2.5 for fun factor. The game was nominated for the "Best Nintendo 64 Game" award at the CNET Gamecenter Awards for 1997, which went to Diddy Kong Racing. It was also a finalist for the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences' 1997 "Sports Game of the Year" and "Outstanding Achievement in Software Engineering" awards, both of which went to International Superstar Soccer 64 and GoldenEye 007. Sales Despite the mixed reviews, NFL Quarterback Club 98 beat competitor Madden Football 64 in sales; according to figures compiled through November 1997 from The NPD Group, NFL Quarterback Club 98 came in second for video game sales while Madden Football 64 came in ninth. The game sold over 900,000 copies worldwide.
