    re: Tecmo Bowl Throwback Impressions (PS3 and 360)

    You know I have no idea what the NG Dive is and I played Tecmo for days on end when I was in HS.

      Played a few online games last night and i had some lag, had a hard time playing. Anyone else having lag issues?
      Otherwise I am really enjoying this game, great job tecmo. Just beginning to edit the names of the rosters making them equal to the SNES version, 5 done so far. Only thing is I am not doing is offensive line. never see there names on feild anyway except maybe a fumble. Takes me about 10-15 minutes per team. Hopefully they could fix the lag issues and put some playbook change online.
      GO STEELERS!!!

        just host games. You dont lag if you host, the game has poor netcode. Of course, eventually everyone will be trying to host games and there will be no one to join them lol

          I'm with you on that. I am undefeated and unscored upon when I host (in 2D). I just dominate.

          I joined one game today...it was in 3D...and I lagged terribly...and I lost 21-3. I would be fine going the other directions (right to left), but when you hit up, and your guy moves up 1 second later, that's deadly in a game where 'twitch' movements are necessary. Same with the passing game: you love to lock on one receiver, and then hit 1-2 quick presses to get to the receiver you want to throw off the D...no dice. No reaction due to the lag.

          I would be interested to hear what everyone's record is in host vs. join games due to lag. Hopefully Tecmo addresses that in their "patch" that they're doing for the quitters soon.

                No, there's offline multiplayer and offline season modes.

                I'm adjusting to the lag, but I do agree it's a nuisance. I'd at least like to have BOTH users lag. I've played some inferior opponents who were able to shake me because I couldn't react in time. If that same opponent had the lag reversed, he wouldn't score.

                  Hey CK-I knew about offline, I'm just asking does the AI make offline worthwhile?

                    I'm the wrong person to answer that because I'm basically an online only player. If this didn't have multiplayer I wouldn't play it... but that's with any game for me.

                      I've nearly finished a nice little strategy guide blog for the game. Broke it down into:
                      • Clock Management
                      • Special Teams
                      • Passing
                      • Rushing
                      • Defense
                      • Intangibles

                      Turned into a massively long blog. I might ask Steve/MMChris if they want to use it as an article. I know they've had other strategy articles from other sites posted on OS before.

                        POST THAT ASAP! I need help with passing... it's counter-intuitive at times.

                          Nah, you just need to memorize your progressions. I swear it's more sim than any other football game in that regard. Madden vision cone came close though.

                              My record is 9-0 now with New England. Just beat Buffalo, and the only reason I pulled it off is because it was raining and they kept fumbling. Otherwise I never would've been able to shut down Thurman Thomas. I swear, when he breaks into the open field, he's gone. I made him fumble on two long runs that would've killed me if he scored. Won 17-7.

                              The more I play this game, the more I like it. I like how unpredictable the action can be at times.

                              ... still having trouble hitting receivers in stride though.

                                Oh yeah, I'm also up to 22 sacks in 9 games with "Robert Bonner" at Middle Linebacker, and I also have 13 safeties! I have the #1 defense and the #23 offense. My offensive game sucks now.
