Tecmo Bowl Throwback Impressions (PS3 and 360)

[Valdarez]

I've nearly finished a nice little strategy guide blog for the game. Broke it down into:

• Clock Management
• Special Teams
• Passing
• Rushing
• Defense
• Intangibles

Turned into a massively long blog. I might ask Steve/MMChris if they want to use it as an article. I know they've had other strategy articles from other sites posted on OS before.

POST THAT ASAP! I need help with passing... it's counter-intuitive at times.

Nah, you just need to memorize your progressions. I swear it's more sim than any other football game in that regard. Madden vision cone came close though.

You're right next to me on the leaderboard. I sent you and valdarez (top 10, dayum) friend requests. Ill take you guys on! With me hosting of course =P

My record is 9-0 now with New England. Just beat Buffalo, and the only reason I pulled it off is because it was raining and they kept fumbling. Otherwise I never would've been able to shut down Thurman Thomas. I swear, when he breaks into the open field, he's gone. I made him fumble on two long runs that would've killed me if he scored. Won 17-7.

The more I play this game, the more I like it. I like how unpredictable the action can be at times.

... still having trouble hitting receivers in stride though.

[TheWatcher]

Oh yeah, I'm also up to 22 sacks in 9 games with "Robert Bonner" at Middle Linebacker, and I also have 13 safeties! I have the #1 defense and the #23 offense. My offensive game sucks now.

Is there an option to watch the computer play? Also, if there is a coach mode how does it play? Is it similar to All Pro's coach mode. Last Q, what system is this game for. Thanks for the help

the hitting recievers in stride thing. For the most part it isnt going to happen... I dont know all the ins and outs because i never had a nintendo or a SNES, but I did play the NES game on an emulator at work a lot, oh and I guess I had the DS game too. This is definitely different from the NES game, as people have said, I rarely see a long pass to an open reciever in stride. I dont know if its random or what. And yes these are on fly patterns.
