Play NFL 98 Online
NFL 98 throws you straight into 1997 rosters with that classic Genesis football feel—dive into season mode or just wreck your buddy with rookie Randy Moss. The defense plays tougher than it looks, so you’ll actually need that chunky manual.

NFL 98 was one of the later football games released by EA Sports for the Sega Genesis in 1997. It arrived near the end of the console's lifespan, offering an updated roster and a familiar style of play for those still hooked on their 16-bit systems.
You control an entire football team, calling plays and executing passes, runs, and tackles. The main goal is to outscore your opponent, either in a single game or across a full season. Signature mechanics include the playbook selection screen, where you pick offensive and defensive strategies, and the on-field action, which relies on timing your button presses for throws, kicks, and tackles. The pacing is quick, and the difficulty can be unforgiving if you make poor decisions. It feels like a solid, no-frills representation of football from that era.
