Gameplay

Prime Time Football '96 is a sequel to NFL '95 starring Deion Sanders. [1] All of the league's 30 teams (including the two new expansion teams, the Carolina Panthers and Jacksonville Jaguars) plus all of the league's players and attributes reflect the 1995 season.

Reception

Next Generation reviewed the Genesis version of the game, rating it four stars out of five, and stated that "There is noting really wrong with Prime Time other than the fact that it isn't much better than last year's version." [1]
