Football Simulator puts you on the gridiron to play American football, controlling players as you try to advance the ball, score, and stop the opposing team.
Passing, catching, tackling, and interceptions play out through physics-based interactions. Players can collide, stumble, and ragdoll during the action, giving each play an unpredictable feel.
Play solo or locally with others, adjust physics settings, and use mods to customize rosters, jerseys, teams, and players. The game also includes a season mode.
Players who enjoy the game often describe its physics-driven collisions and ragdoll moments as funny and entertaining, especially when playing with friends or experimenting with settings and mods. Others criticize inconsistent passing and catching, difficult or erratic AI, and problems with multiplayer or reliability, so experiences in the supplied reviews are mixed.

Interactive Cutscenes
Cutscenes play throughout the game to highlight players, coaches and fans. For example: touchdown dances, high-fiving fans, dunking on the crossbar, the ambulance driving onto the field when there is an injury, a player's reaction when the coach benches him or he subs out from fatigue or an altercation with a fan. Between plays or during TV timeouts the player should be able to wander around the stadium, interact with fans and get into a Malice at the Palace type situation if they are Away and the crowd is rowdy.
