Play Capcom's MVP Football Online

Capcom's MVP Football on SNES is one of those 90s sports games that actually holds up if you're into slower, strategic football. At first glance, it looks like any other arcade-style football game, but the coaching options make it stand out—you can either jump in and control players directly or call plays from the sidelines while the AI handles execution. I spent way too much time tweaking quarter lengths and muddy field conditions just to see how it changed the game.

The Tournament mode is straightforward but satisfying—work your way to the Super Bowl with a team of your choice. MVP mode throws you into clutch scenarios where you've got to pull off a comeback or hold a lead, which can get surprisingly tense. And if you just want to zone out, the Demo mode lets you watch two CPU teams go at it like some weird football screensaver. It's not the flashiest football game out there, but there's a solid depth to it if you give it time.
