Gameplay

NFL Quarterback Club 97 optimizes the use of the kicking meter, as well as overhead camera angles, which are customizable. The game also has Custom Simulation modes, which save up to five game situations for players that cannot finish a game in time. Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre designed various plays that are available in the game.[2] There are five possible game modes (Preseason, Regular Season, Pro Bowl, Playoff, and Super Bowl). Players can also recreate historic game situations. There is no announcer on the PlayStation version.[5]

Reception

The game received mixed to negative reviews. IGN gave the game a 5.0/10, simply commenting that the game is slow and the graphics are weak, is not better than competitor Madden NFL 97, and for players to wait for NFL Quarterback Club '98.[6] GameSpot gave the game a score of 5.6, saying that the players are slow, the weather options are poor, and penalties are unrealistic.[7] GameRankings gave the game a 58.87%.[8] CNET criticized the poor sound, graphics, lack of transactions (except for trades), and stated that every team has the same playbook. CNET also stated that game scores can peak into the 100s, and that players cannot get tired nor injured.[9]
