About Madden NFL 96

Madden NFL 96 is a football simulation based on the 1995 NFL season. Players can engage in various modes, including single exhibition games, a full season, or the playoffs culminating in the Super Bowl.

The game incorporates several systems for team management and on-field play. A team match-up feature provides a positional comparison of player strengths against the opposing team. Beyond using the actual NFL rosters, the game allows for the creation and drafting of custom players, adding a franchise management element. On-field mechanics include windowless passing and a set of strategies designed by John Madden.

Additional details like selectable weather conditions and a roster of over 100 possible injuries are present. This installment also introduces voice-over commentary to the series' features.
