About the game
Experience new teams for greater play variety with in Breakaway Football. SET 1 Boneyard: (Navy 2015) College-style Triple Option attack Eclipse: (Atlanta Falcons 2006) Exceptional scrambling QB with wide range of strong running and passing plays. Streaky QB who can get hot and take over a game single-handedly. Stallions: (Indianapolis Colts 2006) Elite QB play with a special ability to force defenses to reveal their play pre-audible! Vultures: (Baltimore Ravens 2000) An elite defense in the game. The Vultures Offense is one-dimensional and does some things well, especially Power running, but the challenge to find variety in the passing game tends to make their Offense weaker than average overall. SET 2 Stackers: (Green Bay Packers 1967) Lombardi's Power Sweep and elite pass defense. Rhinos: (Chicago Bears 1985) Elite all-around defense, streaky Offense, Walter Payton. Hydra: (S.F. 49ers 1988) Joe Montana "Final Drive" mechanism, yards after catch for receivers, balanced all-around team. Werewolves: (Detroit Lions 1990's) Barry Sanders mechanism. SET 3 Sharks: (Miami Dolphins 1984) Elite Receivers, QB Quick Release, and poor Defense. Minotaurs: (Buffalo Bills 1990) No Huddle Offense, strong Defense. Privateers: (Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2002) Balanced, ball-control passing Offense, elite opportunistic pass defense. Kardiacs (Cleveland Browns 1980) Late game heroics, keeps games close.
