Differences between arcade and console versions

While graphically similar, there were some fundamental differences between the NES and arcade versions of the game. The arcade version only sought to simulate the offense, with the team attempting to score a touchdown, which would ultimately lead the player to the next level. This was necessary to create a more immediate and less complex game, as American Football in itself was not well-suited as an arcade game due to its rule complexity and strategic elements. The NES version, free of these constraints, was developed into a full-featured simulation which allowed full defense and attack strategies. By modern standards, however, the game is still very simplistic.
