Yep...

As far as hitting a receiver in stride, I agree. I go to throw it and they run back to the ball. I did it once last night to Ricky Watters.

I'm not sure if there's a trick to hit therm in stride or what.

Stay away from the curl routes. Try the all out hail marry play, works for me.

Stop being such a downer and enjoy it for what it is, a very fun, easy to play, and competitive online game. I'm glad to see Tecmo is back in the game!

I have a much better idea; allow people to post what they want for the game they paid their own money for, and be respectful of that person's choice to do so. That's what I do, and I think it'd best if you tried it as well.

Thanks.

Yeah, that's not really the problem though. I'm able to block a lot of them, and I was never able to do it much with past TB games. The CPU blocks a lot more often, too.

I can respect that but what I have a problem with is when someone strictly points out the negatives. It tends to look like game bashing after awhile. Either way I'm enjoying the heck out of this game!

I have posted a few positives, but yes they are buried under far more negatives. However, make no mistake about it, I do like this game very much and I would recommend any Tecmo fan to buy it.

Cool! At the end of the day what matters the most is how much you enjoy the game and for that I'm glad we both agree on. I guarantee if enough people buy this game all the things you pointed out will be taken care of in the next iteration of the game. Play on!

I'm struggling to hit WR in stride too. I've seen it happen a few times. Maybe we need to "set our feet" and not move the QB around while throwing. That may be a factor in the SNES version. I know I'm running all over the place before I throw it.
