*Too many extra points get blocked.

*It seems very hard to hit a receiver in stride. I've only done it once, despite averaging close to 600 yards passing per game.

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.

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 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.

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.

Definitive release dates are the one thing I miss about having a 360. Hopefully we should know if it's this week by about 9 or 10 PM EST tonight

How does the Season mode work in this game? Just curious...

Yeah, setting your feet seems big in this game, even bigger than in a sim-focused game I won't mention... if you don't get set, it's going to sail. It really makes sense and adds a layer of challenge to the passing game.

At first I was blowing everybody out with the pass but now my QB (Scott Zolak) is getting exposed. I'm throwing a lot of picks now. The game is definitely getting harder as the season progresses. My last 3 games have been nail-biters where a team missed a last second field goal and I won, another where I had to make a defensive stop to win, and another where I had to drive from my own 10 yard line in the final 2 minutes to set up a GW field goal. Still undefeated, but I don't know for how much longer since my receivers keep getting put in the hospital.

Bought this last night and had a lot of fun. I played online but lost 24-0...my controller was a half second behind the action on the screen which is disastrous in Tecmo Bowl when the opponent is running the zig-zag down the field. I am also having a hard time hitting my WR's in stride...only done it once it 3 games.

Overall it's a lot of fun...I'm currently doing the competitive season. It sure brings back a lot of memories!

Nothing for PS3 this week. The updates move to Tuesday next week, so cross your fingers

...but hey, we get a free Tecmo Throwback wallpaper...

I've found that if I want to hit a receiver in stride running a go route I wait til he's off the screen before throwing.

Sorry if this was asked already, I'm not downloading until tonight. If you edit the real names in preseason mode do they save when you start season mode (ie are they changed permanently)? Thanks.

Yessir! They change for online and everything. They update as you go, also. This means you don't have to do all teams at once and can get your season started... they'll update as you update them.

Just played Dookie online... he kicked my *** good. I was the NY2, he was HOU. I couldn't do anything, he could do whatever her wants. There was a bit of lag in the game for me, I'm not sure if there was for him, but I doubt it would have done too much. He always knew my play! What's with that? LOL, at times I thought he was in my huddle.
 
# 177 Brandwin @ 04/29/10 08:21 PM
I didn't really notice any lag. I'm wired.

I'm also wired... but I'm just assuming it's that my internet sucks balls.
