Also I think a 2d Engine for football would be much easier to program opposed to a hockey 2d Engine.

In hockey its constant play with the 5 players interacting with each other all the time. But in a football game a lot of it is a 1 on 1 battle that I imagine would be much easier to program. As well the actual presentation of it is pretty easy as its only a 5-10 second play. Have each side run their play and its pretty hard to make it look unrealistic over a quick 5 second span so any holes in the engine won't really show through, where as hockey if theres some holes you will notice them pretty quickly by the movement and placement of the players. At least thats my opinion on it.
