Tecmo Bowl Throwback Impressions (PS3 and 360)

[duke776]

I was wondering if you can switch players during the play on defense?

Anyways, won my first game 14-10. I tried to play the worst team possible, I knew I would be bad

I'm blowing everybody out with New England. I thought it would be harder to do since the '93 Patriots sucked offensively.

I mowed down the CPU then won a couple of games online. It's still Tecmo. It's still awesome.

Anyone able to play 2D mode in a multiplayer game yet? Is it possible in a random ranked match?

I still love the tap battles!

Is anyone else seeing a LOT of errant passes? Maybe O'Donnell just sucks that bad...

Speaking of Neil... YES your updated names DO show up online...it's great!

I played two games offline, one with a mixed offense, and one only rushes. Won both. The 1st, I won 28-0, the second, only 7-0. Good defense though.

Creatine, I'm still up for the ladder. I basically downloaded the demo, and then when I finished my first quarter I basically threw up my hands and offered my money to the Tecmo gods.

You know what's strange? I played a game against Dallas and got destroyed because of errant passes. I threw for 300+ yards, but threw 5 INT's.

Yet for whatever reason, against the other teams I've played, everything I throw hits right on the money. Balls never seem to hit the ground. And that's the thing, New England was terrible that year and Bledsoe was just an average QB at best that season. I wonder what's up?

I like how when you score a TD the team puts their hands up to show that they're are happy they scored instead of jogging off the field like nothing happened. Also a cutscene pops up when you get a milestone like 100yds rushing.

QB is zolak since its #16, drew would be #11 if he was on the game. Doesn't explain you doing so well with him, just a heads up.

Anyone else having an issue with whomever is not hosting a game online having severe delay in controller to game function... like players not turning for a full second after hitting the button, therefore running out of bounds on most every play. I have played six games thus far with two people and in each one, this has made it not only unfair, but broken and not entertaining. Offline no problems at all and I'm enjoying the experience just as I used to, but they have got to fix this or it's basically a totally broken game online. Or is it just me...
