Sound Test

To access the sound test, hold B and press Left at the title screen. Use the Up and Down buttons to select sounds.

Make CPU always kick-off

During the coin toss, if the CPU chooses "heads", quickly press B before the CPU decides to return or kick-off. If done correctly, the CPU will always kick-off to your team.

All Buffalo Play-offs

Play the game, making sure that one team does not clinch a division title until after the last game in the 17th week of the season. A screen displaying the division title winner will appear when the game ends. Reset the console while this screen is displayed. The play-offs should show Buffalo both in the NFC and AFC.

Hint: Avoiding tackles

To avoid tackles, select a runner that has a maximum speed above 13. Get past all the defensive players. When your player is close to being tackled, start moving up or down while still running toward the endzone. When the defense is just about to tackle your player, or he is about to step out of bounds, start moving in the opposite direction. The defense should slow down and will need to catch your player again. Repeat this until you score a touchdown. Note that this may not work in all situations.

Hint: Always get extra points and field goals

To always get extra points and field goals, repeatedly press Kick before the extra point screen appears. Keep pressing Kick when the kick screen appears to kick the ball and always get the extra point. This may also be done for field goals.

Hint: Controlling the direction of kickoffs

To control the direction of kickoffs, hold Up or Down while kicking off. Pressing Up will make the ball go to the top of the screen (the kicker's left). Holding Down while kicking will make the ball go to the bottom of the screen (the kicker's right). If you do not hold any direction, the ball will go to the middle of the screen. Kicking to either side allows slightly more time for your defenders to reach the returner. This does not work for punt kicks; it is only effective for kickoff and safety kicks.
