You know it! BTW I think it might be 1993 NFL rosters.

The ratings are already there At least we don't have to fear playing maxed out squads online. Tournaments have a chance to be a riot. Speaking of which, I'm going to try to do an OS tournament when it releases so I can confirm my Tecmo dominance > Looks like Barry Foster, Greg Lloyd and Rod Woodson are BACK! Woof woof! Maybe even let us change numbers.... I want to see Greg in his 95.

I will unleash the Tecmo Gods on you as I'm am the dominant one which all are measured by, lol. See you online.

Your right. What I meant was it''s the 1993 rosters but based on the 1992 stats, thanks CreatineKasey for the correction.

Actually, "Ironhead" is on the Bears. I believe his 94 hit power is one of the best in the game, if not the best.

I usually played as either Denver or Detroit, depending on whether I wanted to use Elway or Sanders.

But man, Detroit's passing game was terrible with Rodney Pete at QB.

You are right. That messed me up. Too much NES/SNES mix-ups

The Steelers are pretty solid surprisingly. This was one of Cowher's first years. Lloyd and Greene are at my disposal!

"Lloyd have Mercy"

The Steelers' passing game kind of sucked but they had one the best running combos in the game with Foster and Hoge plus a godly defense to lock down the other team.

And since you could only play the 3-4 defense in this game, teams who actually ran a 3-4 scheme in real life were at a big advantage personnel wise.

I like the Packers as an underdog squad. Reggie Fright is that game's version of Bruce Smith from TSB on the NES.

Hoge got a massive hit power boost in this version.

Any chance you guys played the Sega Genesis version? That's what I owned. Oddly enough, that game swapped the rush power and run speed ratings. It had run speed at a standard 69 on offense and rush power varying. This is opposite to the NES and apparently opposite to this NES game. That annoyed me to no end.. and still does.

There's a nice blend of teams in this version. Overall, the ratings seem more balanced. There's no fast WR in comparison to the NES version. I remember this. In some ways it'll be better for competition, but I also miss the wacky superstars from the NES game that have grown to legendary status.
