When you ask if the game play is exactly the same, that's difficult to answer because it's a portable gaming system. I will say that you have 8 plays to choose from, the running portion isn't as sharp as the original, a dive play has been added where you make make a 1 yard dive if you are close to a 1st down or the end zone. This play is only successful if you don't get clobbered by a lineman or linebacker. I played Tecmo Bowl on the VC after playing this and I just don't think it's as sharp as the NES version. When I say sharp, I mean juking or cutting as you run. Maybe this has to do with the resolution...not sure. Although it's fast paced, Tecmo Bowl seemed significantly faster during game play.

As far as teams go, there are no NFL teams by default. This is where team customization comes in to play. There are a total of 32 teams like the NFL, but all of the team names are generic.
