More about this game
Pocket Gridiron puts you in charge of both offense and defense across a four-drive match. On offense, you choose to run or pass, snap the ball, and steer your quarterback to find a gap or hit a receiver before the rush arrives. On defense, you control the player with the gold ring, chasing the ball carrier to make a tackle. Each team gets two drives. You must gain 10 yards across four downs to keep possession, or risk a turnover. A touchdown awards 7 points.
Tips
- On defense, you must be within 58 units of the ball carrier for your diving tackle to successfully connect and end the play.
- Watch out for interceptions. If a defender is close to the ball while it is in flight, they will pick it off and force a turnover.
- Keep an eye on the clock during each down. If a single play lasts longer than 11 seconds, the referee will blow the whistle and end it.
FAQ
- How do I get a first down?
- You need to gain 10 yards within 4 downs to get a first down and keep your drive alive. The blue line shows the line of scrimmage, and the yellow line is your target.
- How does the match end?
- The game ends after exactly 4 total drives, meaning each team gets 2 possessions. The team with the most points at the final whistle wins the match, and your career wins are tracked on the menu.
- How do I switch players on defense?
- Before the snap, you can tap the switch button to change which defender you control. Once the play begins, you control the player marked with the gold ring.
