With no penalties or presnap adjustments, and a more basic playbook that would facilitate quicker playcalls. Basically to increase the amount of time actually running plays. But while the game would be simple to play, it would be true to the sport. Players won't catch on fire or do WWE body slam tackles. QB's won't be able to throw 100 yards. Punting and field position would be important. QB completion % and yards would be realistic as would running stats. A good running game would set up play action, and a screen would work against a blitz etc. In 30 minutes a full game could be played ending with a realistic score. While the controls and playbook would be scaled back, the action on the field would be varied unlike pure arcade games that quickly get repetive. Without all the intracacies, it would be easier to QC the game. And ideally there would be no money plays, yet all plays in the playbook would have a chance of success. Now that I am used to the complex games we have today, I am not sure if I would really get into a modern Tecmo.....but I sure would give it a shot.

Well you've got a shot in 2008.

I just recently started a season in TSB for SNES... as the Redskins. How the **** did I beat the Lions with Barry and the Cowboys with Emmitt... I will never know.

Mark Rypien is a f'n beast, though.
