Mike Ditka Ultimate Football description
American football simulator, which, despite its many advantages, at first glance very little to stand out from the vast multitude of similar games.
A choice of several game modes, private matches, small tournaments and entire Championships season. You can also select one of the twenty-eight teams (the extent of their reality is difficult to judge) and either leave it in the original form or edit various characteristics of the players; you can also even create your own teams and the whole League. There is a separate practice mode.
But the above mentioned full similarity to counterparts – is only an appearance. In fact, their "chips" in the game, of course. One of the main – the opportunity to play in real time, and the so-called "stop action mode", that is a kind of step-by-step mode. Second – in this game, almost for the first time in the simulation of American football a huge role is given to the judge: his presence felt on the field not only because of its frequent actions, but also because of the very detailed graphical display. And, of course, there are many different techniques that can be applied players the opportunity to re-view individual highlights and different camera angles.
The graphics for 1991's gorgeous: the isometric view, sprite, large and detailed image traced figures of players that seem almost three-dimensional, depicts a details field and a particularly close-UPS of important moments of the match where people in General seem almost alive (but the display stands are not). In General – indeed, probably not the most amazing game on the theme of American football, but to play it is still very, very interesting.
