You gotta love the passion and excitement these guys have for this game. I mean these guys travel hundreds of miles to play in this tournament. This to me is What Tecmo Super Bowl is all about, "FUN and Excitement"! Even after all these years you have held up mightily well TSB! Still and always will be the Greatest Football videogame of all time!

Wow. Thank you for the link. The championship game was fantastic.

Man this is sad. The Steelers WR were bad that year. Could they at least have the ability to edit ratings for offline seasons? Not sure if I'm getting it this year. And Dallas is going to be way too good now. Anyone know if schedules will be editable? I know in the DS version they were right?

I think you'll be able to edit the ratings offline. But like others have said, making the ratings not editable online is the only fair thing to do, otherwise you'd have teams totally unbalanced, making for lopsided games, which equals no fun. The Tecmo guy interviewed did allude to maybe something different in a future version, though. Maybe you'll be able to set up your own leagues online through a "game room" or something.

I think it's really awesome that the original ratings are there for online play. That way, teams won't be identical and there still might be some lopsided games if you're a team with the rosters of the Bucs or Seahawks vs. the Cowboys or 49ers. It'll make for some interesting matchups.

Overall, this game is far more balanced than the NES version in terms of ratings. I don't think there will be many matchups that mirror the SF (or NYG) vs. NE matchup from the NES version. That was brutal.

I don't understand why someone won't make a football game that we can change EVERYTHING. Big deal if we can change names of players and teams, we have to be able to change attributes. Thank God for Finn and his editor for 2k5. That is still by far the best football game ever made.
I just wish some company would step up and do this. I am putting alot of eggs in the Backbreaker basket, but I just don't think the gameplay is going to be on par with 2k5.
I was going to get this game when I thought we could change attributes, but now I just can't see me spending money on it. To bad too because it does look fun.
