1	* BadassDecay:
2	** By the time the sequel rolls around, Cookie Wallace, captain of the Detroit Devils, gets badly hit with this as he starts to get past his prime and his ego inflates in response that he drags the whole team down with him. They go from Division I in the first game all the way down to Division III in the second.
3	** The Philadelphia Brawlers get it even worse, but not for an immediately obvious reason. [[spoiler:They're actually the result of all the corruption of Lyman Strang, the owner of the Player-Created Team from the first game's campaign, coming back to bite him in the ass, forcing him to sell the team to the League. They promptly move and rename the team, who quickly drop back to Division III, develop a reputation as sloppy hacks who have to cheat to win, and wind up as Franchise's team's first opponents of the season. Yeesh!]]
4	* FridgeBrilliance: The game suffers from classic RubberbandAI syndrome, but unlike the previous ''NFL'' days where this was a consequence of arcade games, there's a good reason for it to happen here. The game encourages you to cheat any way you can, [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard so it's only natural the opposing team would do the same]].
5	* HarsherInHindsight: The game's rather flippant dismissal of injuries, most notably the concussion. Concussions in football are treated ''very'' seriously these days, especially with new knowledge about sustained damage and CTE in football players.
6	* HilariousInHindsight:
7	** Las Vegas having a professional football team. When the game was made, the NFL didn't have a team in Vegas, and attempts by other leagues, such as the XFL and the Canadian Football League had been unsuccessful. Fast forward to TheNewTens, and the Oakland Raiders [[http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000795413/article/nfl-owners-approve-raiders-move-to-las-vegas have been approved to relocate to the Nevadan city]]. As of TheNewTwenties, the Raiders now call Las Vegas home.
8	** Staying with Vegas, the WNBA now has a team called the Aces after the San Antonio Stars relocated to Vegas in 2018; coincidentally, the team is also owned by Raiders owner Mark Davis since 2021.
9	** A women's soccer team called the Seattle Reign would be formed in 2012, same spelling and all to the Seattle Reign in this game.
