Yeah it's free to play it online for the pc version. You get a set number of tokens to start out with. As for the controllers, it depends on what kind of quality they are. As for the pause button all you have to do is to press start and the game will pause. Timeouts are the select button. Anyway, it's a lot of fun for example, there was this guy today I was playing and he kept on blitzing me and I only had 22yds of offense the entire first half. He on the other hand scored a td but missed the extra point. During the second half I adjusted and ran the ball right at him so I picked up a lot of yards on the ground and he kept blitzing me. He than had to adjust and backed off for a while and I completed some short passes to the tight end. For some reason he got frustrated and blitzed again and I just ran DD to the endzone 3 times and ended up winning the game. There are also online leagues, so if there are enough of us we can create our own league and stuff.
