7. Pass Play: The directional disc controls the Receiver on a pass play. Maneuver your Receiver down field and into
horizontal alignment with the QB. When you are ready to pass, press the A button. Once the Receiver catches
the ball, you can control the Receiver just like in a Run play. The QB and Blockers will disappear once the pass is
thrown. An incomplete pass results in a loss of down for the offense. There will be no change in field position. If
you are on defense during a pass play, you can move toward the QB and try for a sack, or cover the Receiver to
try and intercept the pass. Interceptions cannot be returned for yardage gains, they simply result in a turnover at
the spot of interception.
8. Punt: You can only attempt a punt on the 4th Down, by selecting PUNT in the Play Selector Manual. Once you are
in punt formation, press the A button to snap and punt the ball. Then a turnover occurs.
9. Field Goal: Upon selecting Field Goal, a field goal will automatically be attempted. The closer your team is to the
opponent's goal line, the better your chance of scoring a field goal. Earn 3 points for successful field goals, or the
ball will be turned over to the opponent.
10. Score:
a) Touchdown: Earn 7 points for scoring a touchdown by running or passing the football past the opponent's goal
line (0 yard line) and into the end zone.
b) Field Goal: Earn 3 points for a field goal by kicking the football past the opponent's goal line and into the end
zone.
c) Safety: Earn 2 points for a Safety when the opposing team loses yardage in their own end zone.
NOTE: If the line of scrimmage is within 5 yards of the opposing player's end zone, his Pass option will be disabled
and you will be forced to either run the ball in for a touchdown or kick a field goal.
