Initial impressions, it's awesome.

It plays just like it did. I love the 3D visuals, but if you press RB, you can change to the old school graphics on the fly. Very cool.

It is exactly the old rosters with new names, I only looked quick but couldn't find Jacksonville, Carolina, Baltimore, or Houston (Texans). The Titans are in Houston, the Rams are in Los Angeles, and the Cardinals are listed as Phoenix instead of Arizona.

There are only 28 teams and the Pro Bowl teams.

You can edit the locations though, so you can make Houston into Tennessee or Phoenix into Arizona.

Injuries are in, substitutions are in, fumbles are in, and the old school season mode is in. It's just like it was on the SNES, even keeps leaderboards of your friends season's.

re: Tecmo Bowl Throwback Impressions (PS3 and 360)

It ain't the same game. The 80 yard bombs are gone. You can't change the colors of the teams, just the names, and it doesn't effect the field graphics. So if you change Los Angeles to Oakland, the endzone still says Los Angeles. It feels more like the PS1 version than the SNES game. There's also a nice little issue where a punt that goes into the endzone results in a safety rather than a touchback.

So... overall it's not *bad* for an 800 point game, but we're better off just playing the hacked 32 team NES roms instead.

Is it just me or does it like you're not even controlling your player?

Worked much better the second time i loaded it. I downloaded and played as soon as I found out it was available. Anyhow what was happening is it seemed like my players were running on their own. Strange.

I love it. I wish we could change the team colors, but I will live.
