PLEASE NOTE: This document contains game play information only.
if you are having a technical problem with Football '95, please
download the file FB95FAQ.TXT.
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.

Standard play calling mode to see the plays. You can make the change

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.
