I think Pasta Padre was having that issue as well. I didn't notice it. Maybe it was something they fixed?

There is an option for coach mode on the pre-game menu. Probably hit that by accident.

I haven't tried the 80 yard bomb. I did complete one about 50 yards. Young to Taylor.

Graphics thing should have been fixed. If we could edit names, the field should change as well

I punted and kicked a touchback 5 different times and saw no safety being awarded. Maybe something weird going on at first. Some said they couldn't control their guys when they first downloaded.

I've never played Tecmo Bowl before. I tried the trial version and in the short time I was able to play I was getting my butt kicked 21-0. I liked the game and downloaded the full version, now I've got to learn how to play, the game is a blast though.

EDIT: I'm playing my first game with the full version. I'm Kansas City against Green Bay, I'm up 14-7 with a minute left in the half. Now that I'm getting used to the controls this game is a blast. This is proof right here that you don't need the NFL to have a great time playing a Football game. If the game play is fun then the game is good.

I don't know, my kickoffs into the endzone were all touchbacks. CPU punted to me and it gave them a safety.

On the graphics, I will say I find some of the fake logos amusing and wrong. A hawk/eagle for Dallas? A shark for New England? A cow skull for Seattle? I mean, Seattle's totally known for it's western themes, right? I know they were trying to not be the NFL, but come on.
