What You Actually Do in Retro Football
You start with a team and a card choice. On offense, you can pick a run, one of 13 passes, a bonus play or the signature move. Then you snap the ball, pick a receiver with Up or Down, and throw. If nobody is open, run for it and hurdle the tackler.
On defense, you choose from eight formations. Zone keeps you safe. Man coverage is tighter. A blitz is risky but exciting. Chase the ball carrier, or dive past the line to hunt the quarterback.

Tips to Win More
Start with a plan. Pick one weakness and attack it all game. If the defense is slow to react to runs, keep handing off.
Watch for open space. A free lane beats a risky pass. Take the yards and move the chains.
Hurdle late. Early jumps waste the move. Wait for the dive, then leap.
Switch your defense. Try a blitz after two safe plays. The quarterback won’t expect it.
Use the extra points. Close games are often decided by one kick. Don’t throw those points away.
Check the clock. A short pass can stop the clock when time is low.
