If defense was made competent it'd be impossible to score. Defense is actually competent in my opinion, but in a different way. If you guess a run, they'll help with run plays. If you guess a pass, guys will get covered better. Guess a run and he picks pass? Guys are wide open. Guess a pass and he picks run? Running lanes are huge. It's a simple, yet brilliant balance.

re: Tecmo Bowl Throwback Impressions (PS3 and 360)
yes, the point of Tecmo Bowl was to be an ARCADE football game. It was made back in the day when games were FUN...and people didn't get all up in arms about wrong shoe color or facemasks.
It's what made the original Ice Hockey fun on the NES as well. Sure it wasn't the right amount of players, and sure it was crazy hockey, but it was FUN. Did I want to use 2 skinny fast guys and a fat dude, or go all fat and slow, but just run over anything in my way. Realistic? Not even close. Fun? Heck ya!XBox Gamertag: djbeth77

LOL away, young man. I specifically stated that, most of the time, I prefer 2D graphics to 3D. However, the graphics for Tecmo were and are bad compared to other games of that time. Seriously... compare it to any SNES game. Hell, directly compare it to Madden '93 which came out before TSB. Tecmo looks like an NES game compared to those.
A game doesn't have to have good graphics to be fun. I grew up on the Atari and NES. But the 2D graphics in this game are so blurry when there are a dozen guys bunched together on the line that it's hard to make out what's going on sometimes.Comment

re: Tecmo Bowl Throwback Impressions (PS3 and 360)
How is the CPU Difficulty? One thing that bugged me about the DS version was that the CPU always played the same. In past games, the CPU would get progressively tougher to beat, especially if you ran with a really weak team.
In the DS version, you could win 70-0 in Week 1 and in the Super Bowl. It was frustrating.
If the CPU Difficulty does adjust and become progressively harder, I will certainly pick this game up, as I love Tecmo.Currently Playing:

Game 1 was 63 - 3 (500 yards offense)
Game 2 was 47 - 7 (300 yards offense)
Game 3 was 27 - 7 (180 yards offense)
Definitely gets hard the longer you play. By game 3 the CPU was moving so fast it was crazy. I couldn't get more than 10 or so yard on every play.Comment
