This is the only game that I've played since it came out.  Having so many of the recognizable faces and their talents at your disposal and then having them so easy to manipulate without having to push a combination of buttons makes this game more entertaining than any I've ever played.  Yes some of the plays are somewhat unrealistic and the graphics cannot match up to today's games but when you throw Jerry Rice a pass you EXPECT him to catch it the majority of the time.  Tecmo gives you that.
