metzger130 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I was wondering if anyone has a pdf file or something like that for real sports football for the 5200. Looking for the playbook, played it today with a friend and we just hit random buttons with no idea what we were doing. Probably would have been better if we would have known what play we were running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_ Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Its right here. On AtariAge. http://www.atariage.com/manual_thumbs.html?SoftwareLabelID=655 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metzger130 Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share Posted July 28, 2012 I saw that on AtariAge, but I don't see the playbook. That instruction book says there is an accompanying playbook. Is this another book that might not be on here that came with the game? I'm under the impression that there was a book that told you what route the player would run and such. Maybe not, but I can see that says pick formation 1-3 then play 1-6 on each of the 1-3 and that 2-1 is punt and 3-1 is field goal, but other then that I don't see anything. Am I missing something or like I said is there another book that is not on atari age? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnice Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I'm on it! In the meantime, here's an article I wrote half my life ago about the game: http://videogames.org/html/5200Stuff/FootballHelp/Kick_Butt_Football.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnice Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) Here you go! There's also a "Visitors" playbook, but it's identical to the home playbook, except you just need to use it upside-down for quarters 1 & 3...basically, align the playbook the way your team is facing.

metzger130 Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 Thank you! That is exactly what I was looking for. Now at least I know what the players are SUPPOSED to do in the game. Doesn't mean that's what he's actually going to do, but at least I know what he's supposed to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
