Most other games under the EA Sports brand are about sports which are
popular in America or Europe. AFL ’98 however is about Australian Rules
Football which is one of the most major sports in Australia. AFL is a contact
sport: there are no helmets or pads like in American Football, so if a fight
breaks out, blood will get spilled. All of the official teams and players of
the league are here, as well as the trademark EA Sports graphics, sound and
control system.
