Real finishes. Call them. Every game drops you into a real late-game spot: the score, the clock, the ball and the timeouts, just as they were. Take the headset and call every snap. Run, pass, RPO, trick plays, timeouts, getting out of bounds, the fourth-down gamble. Or draw your own play right on the field. Then watch all 22 players run it. GAME OF THE DAY One real finish a day. Everyone plays the same one. When your drive ends, the rest of the game plays out and you see your points, your stars and how you stack up against everyone who played it today. SURVIVOR Back-to-back fourth quarters on offense and defense. Win to keep going. One loss ends it. Tied at the final gun? It goes to overtime. Climb the Survivor leaderboard. COACH'S STARS ON EVERY CALL One to four stars, whatever happened on the play. See how every option scored, how your win chance moved, and whether you topped the head coach who really called that game. CALL THE DEFENSE TOO Keep it simple with 3 defensive calls, or set your personnel, front, coverage and rush. VERSUS: LIVE HEAD-TO-HEAD Play a real coach, live. One of you has the ball, the other stops it. Every call runs on a real play clock: 40 seconds, or 25 after a stoppage. Miss it on offense and it's delay of game. Find a match on the open games board in Game of the Day or a Survivor run, or join the Pro lobby with Pro. The scoreboard at 0:00 decides it, and every match goes on your Versus record and the Versus leaderboard. YOUR LINEUP Swap in real backups on offense and defense, straight from that team's depth chart that season. Every player shows his rating and his real stat line. PRO: $4.99, ONE TIME - The archive: every past Game of the Day, so you can play any day you missed. - 13 historic drives: comebacks and miracle finishes, each from its real spot. - 4 playoff runs: a team's whole postseason, every late-game spot in order.
