I have found these to work very well. * For a good Quarterback: Focus on their Strength (ST), Accuracy (AC), and Agility (AG). The other traits like hands, endurance, etc can all help, but if your Quarterback is quick enough to avoid the tackles then endurance becomes less of a necessity. Try to get a QB with these 3 ratings in the 80s or 90s will help your team tremendously. * For a Running Back: A good running back is almost essential in this game. You will need someone to pick up the short yards consistently to be able to survive. Speed (SP), Agility (AG) and Strength (ST) are the 3 most important characteristics. A strong, quick, fast running back is hard to stop, and can usually break one or 2 tackles on the way. * Try to get at least one or two Offensive Linesmen with a lot of Strength (ST) and Endurance (EN), as well as one or two Wide Receivers with good Speed (SP) and good Hands (HA). This will help round off your offense so you wont have any read weak spots. * For Defense, my favorite thing to do is stack the Defensive Line with a bunch of Strong (ST), Quick (AG) Linesman. The way I look at it, the sooner you stop them, the better. With a powerful Defensive Line you can stop them before they can even start. Make sure to get a few Quick (AG) Safeties and Cornerbacks to pick off anything that gets by the front end. General gameplay tips: * Draft the fastest RB you can get. Speed kills and this game is no exception. You will become more effective running the ball if your running back can get past the linemen before he takes an initial hit. If you are looking for a multi-faceted running back, then the high 80's is okay for speed. If you are going for pure-Wheels, go for the 90's. * The big thing in the NFL nowadays is specialized players. It works here too. Draft a possession receiver, one with solid stats, but nothing low, hands is important here. Draft a speed reciever, I usually go for low hands here. If the DB's logic has him cover the fastest reciever on the field then this guy will be picked, but if it is for the best hands, then your speed demon is free, usually to get wide open. Finally have a slow high hands reciever. This way he can get the catch, but at the same he is not covered by the DB with the cover hands logic. Also note that with this setup, you could force the DB logic to leave someone open. For example if his DB's have 1 on #1 hands, 1 on #1 speed and one on #2 of either, there will be some overlap because your possession reciever is number 2 in both. You then get open running backs, or open tight ends. * Spread out the field. The above assumes that you are using 3 or more recievers on passing plays. This requires a solid offensive line, and a good quaterback. However, the rewards are a high passing efficiency since someone is always open. * One key to doing well in Football Pro '96 is not to play conservative football. Take chances every once in awhile where the game wont expect you to. If you have a 2nd down and 3, try going for a long pass, or get real risky and try a reverse play with your wide receiver. If you have a good running back and you have a 3rd down and 9, you might want to try a quick run from the I-formation with one of your wide receivers in motion. The less the game expects you to do something, the more likely you will be to get away with it. Chances are you might get stuck on one or two occasions, but you will also be able to get that 1st down when you least expect it, or gain an extra 20 yards on the play. * With a good Running back on the team, my favorite choices for a coaching profile and game plan are OFFRB1.PRF, OFFRB1.PLN, DEFRB1.PRF, and DEFRB1.PLN. Try using these profiles and plans on a team with a strong running back, and you will find many plays that work well with your team.
