Game Objectives
The main objective of NFL QB Showdown is to score the greatest amount of points
either in a pre-determined amount of time or after a certain number of footballs
are used by throwing the balls at moving targets. The more accurate the throw
and the further the target is away from the throwing quarterback, the more
points are awarded to the player.

Arcade Mode
In this mode the player competes against the clock and tries to score as many
points as possible in a 1 minute round. The game ends if the clock runs out
before the point objectives are met or when all available balls are exhausted.
If the point objectives are met in a particular stage, the player advances
to the next stage. Between stages, the player enters into a bonus round where
they are not timed. Within this round, the player's goal is to score as many
points as possible before the targets move off screen. Once the targets move
off screen, the bonus round ends and the player advances to the next stage.
The stages get progressively more difficult.
- Player Starts with 10 balls.
- Balls thrown through the target score a hit. Hitting the target's red or
white rings scores a duff.
- Score 1000 points to advance to the bonus wave.
- Extra balls are awarded for consecutive successful hits. An extra ball
is also awarded every 5000 points.
- Hit and duff scores increase with target distance.
- Hitting multiple targets with 1 ball increases bonus multiplier
for higher points!
- The game can end in two ways:
- By losing all the balls before the clock runs down
- By not achieving the point objectives before the clock runs down
QB Showdown Mode
In this mode, the player competes against other players in 2 events: Accuracy and Read
and Recognition. In Accuracy mode, the player competes in 3 waves where he/she
must throw 5 balls each wave. The goal is to score as many points as possible
with the given amount of balls. To advance to the Read and Recognition phase
of the competition, the player must be within the top 3 in the Accuracy event
standings. In Read and Recognition mode, the player competes in 3 waves where
he/she must throw 3 balls each wave at specially marked targets. The overall
winner of both events is declared the winner of QB Showdown mode.
- Hitting a non-flagged target results in loss of a ball and no points scored
for that target.
- Target scores are based on distance. Hitting further targets earns the
player more points.
