In the game you assume the role of an AFL Coach, you tell your players commands such as the type of play you want them to play (attacking, defensive, Normal) and when to interchange. It sold well for an IR Gurus game but not too well on the market.

When Acclaim shut down its operations in Australia, Sony Computer Entertainment (SCEE) got publishing and distributing rights to the game.

[edit] AFL Premiership 2006
AFL Premiership 2006 is a simulation game for the Playstation 2 based on the AFL. The game was developed by Australian games company IR Gurus and featured all 16 teams playing in the 2006 AFL season.
The game is a follow-up to AFL Live 2004 and AFL Premiership 2005. The game, unlike its predecessor, was less criticized by game reviewers. Its main features included the addition of training mode, revamped career mode as well as more attention paid to gameplay, rather than graphics, with the whole gameplay system being started from scratch.
You can select to play as one of all 16 teams.
