Axis Football 2015 is a 3D American football game built around familiar team play and hands-on control. It represents all 32 NFL cities, with team ratings for passing, running, defense, and special teams, while individual players have their own football statistics. That foundation gives the game a roster-focused feel, with customization options for player names, numbers, and races as well as team uniforms.
Its distinctive passing system lets players aim throws for greater control over where the ball goes. The game was designed for computer play, supporting mouse and keyboard alongside controllers. Season mode uses different schedules each year and tracks statistics across the season; quick match offers a more immediate alternative. Coach Mode changes the emphasis from direct action to calling plays and watching them unfold, and is available in both formats.
Play can be against AI or in local multiplayer, with support for two players using two controllers. Its focus is on football strategy, controlled passing, and adjustable teams rather than a documented online player base.
