As with all yearly updates to the football series Madden NFL 99
features improved graphics and AI over its predecessors. Force
feedback - 8-button controllers and online support are available. The
team roster includes nearly 100 successful vintage NFL teams as well as
the full up to date roster at the time. There is more commentary
integrated than before. This version features a new Franchise
mode which allows you to control a team through a number of seasons -
taking into account free agents - retirement - drafts - and salary caps.
Each team can have different playbooks. Also added is a
one-button mode which simplifies controls for beginners. Tying in with
this is the arcade mode which removes some of the more complex rules
and adds to the force of impacts.
