The game takes its name from the "QB Challenge". Players can choose from more than 12 of the NFL's premier quarterbacks to take part in a competition. There are four events in the competition. These are "Accuracy", The "Obstacle Course", "Distance" and "Read And Recognition". "Accuracy" involves throwing the ball toward targets. The "Obstacle Course" is a track where the quarterback must jump over hurdles and go around defenders. "Distance" competition involves throwing the ball as far as possible, while "Read And Recognition" is the same as "Accuracy" but only certain targets hold point values. The QB with the highest number of points at the end of all four events is the winner. Each event can also be played individually if a player chooses to do so. Custom quarterbacks can be created to take part in the challenge. As the quarterback improves, his skill level increases.
