All are reasonably effective, though neither missile really feels all that different from the other despite what feels like slight variations in range and accuracy. Regardless of the plane you’re flying, you’ll have access to a machine gun and two types of missiles. Tragically, your options for taking out those foes are quite limited. Either way, the act of controlling your plane is responsive and, with only a little practice, you’ll feel comfortable engaging the enemy. Both options work as advertised and are really just a matter of personal preference. Casual controls are naturally more user friendly as the left stick only controls throttle and steering with right stick automatically maximizes maneuverability. The former requires more player involvement as the left stick controls both throttle and roll, which forces more involvement especially when attempting tight maneuvers.

First, you should decide between the game’s two main control options, simulator or casual. Thankfully, this core action is probably the game’s greatest strength despite a relative lack of variety and features. While its forbearer takes place in World War II, Afterburner moves into the near future, which of course means moving from machine gun based dogfights with prop planes, to faster, missile focused action between jets. Thankfully, one of those aforementioned eShop selections, Sky Gamblers: Storm Raiders, has gotten the sequel treatment in the form of Sky Gamblers: Afterburner. There’s a few titles on eShop and Starlink offers a broader, more sci-fi focused experience, but that’s really it. I’m not necessarily in the latter part of my career, but I’m not a second, or third-year player anymore.When it comes to high flying, fast paced aerial combat games, Switch hasn’t exactly been blessed with bountiful options. I just want to be able to go out there and compete and help a team win games,” he said. “I’m not really looking for any specific type of money, or opportunity specifically. So pretty much I’ll be getting paid.”ĭrake said he could be an asset to another team as a dual-threat back.

“I just know that regardless, somebody has to pay that contract, whether it is the Raiders or whether it’s the team that eventually picks me up. “If not within the next 24 hours, then for them to kind of just really move on from there, because I was gonna be released regardless,” Drake said. Drake said Ziegler told him he would seek an immediate trade. If Drake is released rather than traded, the Raiders would be on the hook for $8.8 million, including $3.6 million this year. I feel like it just presents an opportunity for me to go to another team and continue to be the playmaker that I’ve always been.” “I’ve been around this game for a while now, and I could just see myself being the odd man out. So I have nothing bad to say about the organization with how they decided to move,” Drake said. I mean, they drafted two running backs, they brought in two other running backs, all who I have admiration for. Ziegler and first-year coach Josh McDaniels made it clear after the draft in April that the Raiders had options at running back, including Drake, returning starter Josh Jacobs, veterans Ameer Abdullah and Brandon Bolden, and rookies Zamir White and Brittain Brown. In six seasons with three teams, Drake has rushed for 3,384 yards and 29 touchdowns. “He let me know how they were planning on moving forward, how really uncustomary it was for him to tell me himself, and that was just a testament to the respect he has for me as a player, and as a man,” Drake said. His 2021 campaign ended with a season-ending ankle injury in December.ĭrake said in a phone interview with The Associated Press that general manager Dave Ziegler called him personally to let him know the team was moving on. He signed a two-year, $11 million contract with the Raiders last year, and rushed for 254 yards with 291 yards receiving. The 28-year-old Drake had his best season in 2020 with Arizona, rushing for 955 yards and 10 touchdowns.
