Does anyone play Second and Ten?

Looks awesome from what I am seeing on the website.

I just got the two day trial demo of Second And Ten and prefer it to Action PC football.

It has a simple play calling interface but not one dimensional. Very good single player game, and probably a better two player game.

Just played a game between Arizona and Atlanta (ME). Excellent AI, very good computer play calling.

I lost 28-23 despite four INTs by their QB.

Cards--- 14-7-0-7- 28
Falcons- 10-10-3-0- 23

Cards:

Chris Wells- 8 rushes, 44 yards (5.5), 2 TDs (PLAYER OF THE GAME)
John Skelton-18-30, 237 yards, 2 TDs, 4 INTs
Larry Fitzgerald- 3-56, 1 TD (35 Yards)

Falcons:

Michael Turner-15 rushes, 31 Yards (2.1)
Jacquizz Rodgers-6 rushes, 36 Yards (6.0)
Matt Ryan- 28-51, 321 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT

Four receivers had yardage totals in the 50s, and Gonzalez had 67 yards.

Your offensive plays:

Inside Run, Outside Run, Draw, Screen Pass, Short Pass, Medium Short Pass, Medium Pass, Medium Long Pass, Long Pass

Your Defensive Plays:


RUN DEFENSES: Run Defense, Run Blitz, Inside Run Defense, Outside Run Defense

NEUTRAL DEFENSES All Purpose, All Purpose Tight, Blitz Linebacker, Blitz Safety, Blitz All

PASS DEFENSES: Bump And Run, Standard Man, Soft Man, Standard Zone, Deep Zone, Prevent

Keys, double teams, shadow QB are available. An Extra DB (defensive back) modifier is available for all passing defenses and Blitz Safety and Blitz Linebacker.

Individual player ratings are used for sacks and interceptions, while all other defensive factors are grouped as a team.

I really like the passing game/pass defense in this game which directly accounts for Yards After Reception. Throw a short pass pass (right at the line of scrimmage) with the defense in medium or long depth and see if your receiver can come up with with a bigger gain. There is a "die roll " for the completion and another one for the RAC. Of course the outcome is based on the players and randomness.

Anybody playing the latest version (9)? I demoed version 8 and enjoyed it. Especially the commentary and I thought the play calling was perfect. The CPU did seem to get turnovers when they needed them, but I feel it may be worth adding this to my collection.

Just a few tweaks separate Version 8 from Version 9 such as an increased blitz effect on draw plays and a strengthening of the blitz effect on passes. The screens and interface are the same.

I think Version 10 comes out this summer. The program is totally redone and the screens are going to be unrecognizable from any previous edition.

With Second and Ten a quick free download gets you all NFL teams and seasons dating back to 1932.

Thanks JayBee. Will see how 10 turns out then I think
