90 Minutes: Sega Championship Football is a sports simulation game for the Sega Dreamcast, focusing on realistic football gameplay. Players utilize standard controls to pass, shoot, and change players, with customizable options for tactics. The game emphasizes strategic play, allowing players to adjust their approach dynamically in response to on-field situations.
Gameplay follows the norms of the genre - A to pass, B to throw a high lob, X to shoot, Y to change players, with the triggers to perform modifiers (though passes and lob shots) and sprint, although these can all be changed in the options. The player can also assign special tactics to each direction on the d-pad to adapt quickly according to the flow of the game.
