For starts, I use a very primative style of passing. On a pass play, I put the quarterback's base in reverse to simulate dropping back. Whenever I stop the play, I throw it with my hand. If it touches an eligable reciever, its a catch, if not an incompletion. I use any base contact as far as tackling goes. My clock is two 45 minute running clocks. I only stop the clock if my game is interupted for whatever reason. As far as picking plays goes, I made 3 passing and 3 rushing cards on offense, and 3 pass defense and 3 rush defense cards. At the start of each play, I decide if I would run or pass, and then pick a card for both offense and defense.
