Reception

In the November 1989 edition of the British magazine Games International (Issue 10), Ernesto Williams was not familiar with the American sport of football, but was able to learn the game through this videogame. Although he liked most of the game, including the graphics and audio, he did not admire the appearance of sports announcers from time to time, and pointed out that "Mercifully this window dressing can be skipped in most cases, speeding up play considerably." He also noted that the incessant disk swapping slowed the game considerably. He concluded by giving both the game and its graphics above-average ratings of 4 out of 5, saying, "Simple but subtle, American Football is a game that needs time to fully appreciate."[2]

In 1996, Computer Gaming World declared TV Sports: Football the 112th-best computer game ever released.[1]
