Leave as a tie. 2. Bench depth. 3. Sudden death The first option is obvious. The second uses the total points scored from a teams reserves. If still tied, the game remains tied. The third is based on home and away teams. The home team gets the first shot. FFL Commissioner looks at the home team's first reserve, if he scores, the home team wins. If he doesn't score, the away team gets the same opportunity and so on until the tie has be resolved. If still tied, the game remains a tie. Obviously the order of the reserve players on a team are crucial in sudden death. Select "Reserve Order" from the player menu then play around with the players in a teams reserve window. If you don't see the special cursor with the number by it, your not trying hard enough. Have Fun! In general just explore. This demo is only limited to week 1, of the 1990 NFL season.
