Technical Support has limited information on Football '95 strategy and game play hints. This document contains answers to some frequently- asked questions. For additional game play information, Sierra recommends the Football '95 manual and on-line forums that address sports simulations. CompuServe and America On-Line have active forums where you can obtain valuable information from your fellow football fans! In addition, there is a good tutorial on page 19 of the manual. However, there are three plays that the tutorial asks you to load that are not included with version 1.0 of FBPRO. Instead of trying to load the HBLEADER substitute it with F3WRLR. You can use the 34ZONMED when it asks you to select 3-4BNCKL. The ISHORT will work in place of the SLICE2RT pass play. If you have installed the patch, then the tutorial plays will appear as shown in the manual. Question: How do I create a league using the NFL Roster? Answer: From the main menu, take these steps: 1.

When saving this game plan, be sure to rename it so you do not erase the original game plan. Question: How can I import my stock plays from FBPro to FBPro95? Answer: You can't import the stock plays to FBPro95 as they are. You need to enter the play editor in FBpro and load the stock play that you want to transfer to FBPro95. Once you have it loaded, click on the save button and retitle the play. You now have this play saved as a custom play and it can be imported into FBPro95. Question: I am in the roster screen and cannot change the depth slot of my player. How can I do this? Answer: You need to turn to the position rosters instead of the full offense or defense roster. Once you have turned to the specified position roster then you can move the players depth. Whenever you make changes to a play, plan or profile, make sure that you rename the file after you have made the changes. If you save the changes and do not retitle it, then you have lost the original format of the item you changed. The only way to restore this is to reinstall the game.
