Tecmo Bowl Throwback Video Interview Shows Off Gameplay

[CreatineKasey]

The NG dive is alive and well in the Genesis version. I really really hope they nixed that. If they did not.... they weren't real Tecmo fans at all.

The nose dive glitch has been in every version of Tecmo Bowl that I've played.

This is basically a port of the original SNES game, so there's a good chance the nose dive glitch is still in there.

If you've watched and read the interviews leading up to this game, I believe one of the producers said that they wanted to keep all the original exploits intact.

This game is not trying to be a "remake" so much as it is trying to be a "restoration."

You can basically kiss an under center offense goodbye if that's the case. Really... if there's ONE thing they needed to get rid of, it's that.

In the past when you played Tecmo online it was through an emulator and leagues with rules. Playing random opponents through matchmaking or whatever on XBLA is going to negate any rules being respected.

Still excited, but this would effectively end my attempt at any leaderboard climbing as I don't feel like eliminating 75% of the game's plays b/c of lurching.

Wow, that's sad - they even want to leave the exploits in the game.

THAT makes no sense to me.

It's bad enough it got in the game (i.e. Tecmo never got it out) but now with the change to remake it - they just leave it in? Ugh.

Had no idea this game was coming out. Alway's have bought 2 football games a year. Well now I have a 3rd and as far as glitches and patches are concerned, I probably won't have to worry. Been a long time since a game of football was "STRAIGHT FUN" and this was always's the case playing Tecmo Bowl

sweet, can't wait to try this out

To kill the defensive lurch, run a shotgun offense.
on the NES version, I had a one man wrecking crew in human games with a shotgun offense (including the Shotgun Draw) with Dexter Carter. Man that guy was pimp lol

Yeah, I just don't like a game boiling down to only 1 or 2 viable playbooks because of this. I've played Tecmo competitively for years and would prefer more viable plays.
