Did you choose "competitive" mode for your season so it reports to the leaderboards? I'll keep an eye out for your season if you used that mode.

How does competitive mode work?

You can't re-play games in a season. You can control only 1 team. Your win percentage and point spread are displayed on a leaderboard along with the team you used. Also, there's leaderboards for single season passing, rushing, and receiving yards. I don't remember about defensive stats.

Basically, you play a season with 1 team and try to rack up some ridiculous point spreads and yardages to compete with others on a leaderboard. It looks pretty nice for a single player option.

What's really cool is once you personally edit player names on your system, those names show up on the leaderboards! So, I see Jerry Rice, Emmitt Smith, and Jim Kelly showing up on my screen, not the generic names! I really really like that.

I selected the other mode. I'm not much into online play.

The Online interface is really... really terrible.. Why can't we choose to join either a 2D or 3D game....

I create a game with 2D settings.. and nobody joins..

I join a game with 2D checked in my settings.. I join a 3D game.

What were they thinking when they developed this online?

They didn't even include win/loss records.. what were they thinking?

Gotcha. Just so you know you don't actually play people online in that mode, you just post your "high scores". It's basically an old arcade-style leaderboard.

They did drop the ball on a few things that could have been added. Maybe it was on purpose so they can release another version?

I know. It's just that once I download a game I don't go back online except for a patch or a roster update.

They only had 150 MB's to work with, so that's going to keep a lot of things out.

I'd like to get in touch with them. It would be great to send them some suggestions for a future game. I've got a ton.

Either my internet is ****ed or the game is.. keep getting disconnected
 
# 211 centauris @ 04/30/10 06:08 PM
I can't even get into games.

I create one.. nobody comes.

I join one.. it doesn't work

Man I can believe this. I've gotten myself all worked up today. I thought he PS3 version was out. Second class citizens is what we are.

'Whoa' to those who said this is the greatest football game and all that jazz. I think people are getting a little too caught up with lowered expectations on such a game and going bonkers because lowered expectations gives u so much more room for allowing error. If it's fun, it's fun and your opinion is your opinion but making such grandiose statements is a bit overboard since we've had MUCH better football gaming since the last Tecmo Bowl. No new coat of paint on an old game I had BEEN tired of even back in the days after a while will make me giddy enough to act like this game is the Second Coming or anything to that effect.

Already i think we need a patch so you cant use D lineman on-line cause people gotta cheese doing NT dives. Also put win and loss records online. and adjustable playbooks online also.
 
# 215 dbeth @ 04/30/10 10:35 PM
I was playing a guy tonight who kept not wanting to use the NT dive....but kept going back to it. Favorite part was that he NEVER got me and whiffed about 3 times.

I was up 14-0....still unscored on online...and kicked off to start the 2nd half. Pinned him on his own 8. First play, I picked his play and sacked him on the 2. I don't remember what happened on the next play, but then he just pulled the plug. Nice.

I still LOVE this game though...

I had that happen the other day. I beat a guy, that must have been new. That's all I can figure. Or there's a bug with the reporting.

They actually left that in.

Bah, might not get it when it comes out for the PS3 now.

Such a game-breaking glitch and they left it in.

I had a guy trying this on my last night. He dove several times and never got me. Only play it would have worked on is a PA play, or a toss player where the QB stands motionless for a second. It's definitely avoidable with the right plays.

I played the guy ranked just above you (Cancer man 300 or something like that). I lost in overtime to him... it was a classic wild Tecmo game. He used the Bills and used them well.

BTW I had a guy using the Oilers against me just dominate. He ended up dropping because of connection issues and I randomly got the W. I gained some rank spots. This tells me you get skill points when your opponent quits.
