John Madden Football '92
麦登：John Football '92
John Madden Football '92 is a football simulation developed by Electronic Arts, released in 1991 for the Sega Genesis. Players take control of NFL teams, managing roster decisions and calling plays during matches. The game features a play-calling system where players select from a playbook before each down, then execute the play in real-time on the field. Notable features include franchise mode for managing a team over multiple seasons, two-player competitive gameplay, and team-specific playbooks. The controls allow players to switch between defenders to make tackles or audible plays before the snap. Graphics depict the field, players, and scoreboard with 16-bit visuals typical of the era. The game structure progresses through regular seasons, playoffs, and championship matches, offering both single-player and head-to-head multiplayer experiences for football fans.
