    Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff Tips

    Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff -- and Tecmo Bowl in general -- seems so simple on the surface, yet there are a surprising amount of nuances to master in it. Nuances such as how to set up your team and playbook before a game, to how to have your squad performing at its best on game days can sometimes be lost overlooked by gamers.

    To even the playing field, this short guide should give you everything you need to put up a fight against some of the wily veterans you are likely to meet in Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff's online arena.

    Good article. Only thing I didn't like was the recommendation of using the DT on defense. That's such a cheese move and, especially in human-human games, would really cheapen the experience for me if I played a guy who did the DT dive every play.

      I played Tecmo ROMS when I was 12 years old online in leagues and the main rule above all others is don't play as a DL! Lol there are too many games that become useless when a human controls the DL and blows it up.

        It's a shame that this game didn't turn out as well as what we were expecting.

        I think they tinkered too much with the original foruma and the lack of NFL license seemed to bother them as well when it came to roster creation. I mean, really, who carries 10 kickers and punters on a roster???

        All they had to do was create 32 teams similar to the NFL teams and give them generic names/cities. The customization of the rosters with ratings creates a real mess b/c some ratings don't do anything while others are too-powerful. That makes online tough b/c if you are a new user and are playing someone that's boosted their team ratings, you're in for a long game.

        I hope it sold well enough to warrant a sequel so the developers can hopefully fix all the issues in the current version.

            I loved Tecmo bll in the good old days of growing up. But now this new tecmo ball would just get blow away by madden and ncaa 10. Tecmo ball is good for kids. But not for sim kind of fans.

              I enjoy the game (just like the old one); I just hate how all the simulated stats for the games you don't play in a season ARE IDENTICAL!!
