Ever thought there was a team that beat your team, and they were exactly who you thought they were, but your team let them off the hook?
There are many ways of dealing with this dilemma besides crowning their ass. One would be taking out your frustration in Madden, but if you’re on the go, the iPhone one is a bit…lacking. So what’s a frustrated fan to do?
Damn Tebow
Sure the interface is clunky at best so it’s kind of annoying, but it’s worth it cause there’s nothing else out there like it, at least right now. It’s basically turned based strategy…BUT FOR FOOTBALL. And it plays out in 16-bit looking glory and vaguely NFL Films-y music.1
As if the Raiders would play any other defense
And look at this realism:
Their reputation precedes them
…even if it’s not the Raiders. There’s no NFL license so there’s no NFL teams, but the cities and team colors are there, although I haven’t checked to see if they’re all there.2 And as you probably guessed, there’s no NFL Players Association license either, so instead of say, Janikowski kicking 60 yard field goals, you have “PLAYER”.
What else is missing? Online play, but that’s coming! If the dev can fix up the interface, and even if they don’t to be honest, just being able to play against another human will be huge for this game. Graphically it has the old school feel down I think, sure as hell doesn’t have high res graphics, but it could use some cleaning up of the artwork or scaling, it all looks a bit blurry.
For now it’s only free with ads, a pay version/ad removal option isn’t available yet. I wish there was cause damn, I want to give this guy money:

On a personal note, November 7th will mark the one-year anniversary of the day that our oldest son was in a horrific accident and suffered traumatic brain injury, beginning an amazing adventure in all our lives. His fight to come back (which is still ongoing), along with the faith of my family, was a big factor in my deciding to stretch myself and write this app. Life is sure interesting.
See, there’s even an inspiring story behind it too!

Hey, I wanted to thank you for your review here, and I appreciate the suggestions!
I was going to focus on network play, but it seems most people want two things – remove ads, and add season play – so I’m going to focus on those. And I’m always open to suggestions, because I not only wrote the game, but play it, and I want it to be the best it can be as well, and other players have great ideas I’ve never considered!
If you want to keep up with what I’m working, check my blog (my first ever blog, so learning there, too) at the prostrategyfootball site.
Mainly, though, thanks again for a great review; I really appreciate it!
