By 2022 the game was playednot by humans but two teams of seven robots. To spice things up the usual pig skin ball was replaced with a 350 pound bomb. Cyberballbrings this fast and furious action to life. Gameplay is essentiallythe same as the real sport although the 'downs' are replaced by thebomb's heat gradually increasing towards 'critical'. After this it willexplode and possession will be swapped. This is prevented when youcross the 50-yard line - lose possession - or score a touchdown in whichcases it resets to 'cool'. Field goals and punts are not featured - theonly kick is the initial kick-off you receive.
