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

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

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.

Yeah not using the nose tackle has been a house rule for pretty much every version of TSB.

Stick to playing friends and you won't have any issues.

So you can't edit ratings and I don't hear anything about editing team uniforms either. Think I'm gonna pass.

I wanted to try climbing the leaderboard. Doesn't look like it'll happen if the NG dive is in. If it's not... there's really no cheese in the game. It comes down to straight skills then.... if you call skills all the random junk that happens in Tecmo

I don't see how that applies to fixing the big cheese move in the game. Fixing one exploit isn't the same as fixing this, then this, then changing that, and changing this. It's changing one thing, arguably the only true exploit in the game.

Also, I'm tired of having to rely on people to follow on "house rules". The game should be at least fair (i.e. no super cheese moves like this) from the start. The "just play friends" argument doesn't make sense either if you want to play in a way that Creatine does - trying to compete against the community at large.

I have no assurance that playing people that will follow that rule. I'd rather the game itself impose the rule (by making it not possible at all) instead of having to sort through people to find ones that don't use the exploit.

Just because it's a remake and it's Tecmo Bowl doesn't mean exploits should be allowed to exist as well. They added 3-D graphics to improve the game experience, why not fix the one big exploit as well.

I see what both sides are saying. With the dive in, it completely eliminates half the playbook at a competitive level. It will absolutely ruin casual gamer experiences. Imagine going online into a random match and having some dude shut you out simply because he guessed your 1 shotgun play and did a NG dive to kill the rest of your plays. Not fun.

Taking away that 1 flaw makes the game far deeper and at least gives under center passes a fighting chance. I don't think you want to get beat by the NG dive online either?

Did you guys see they say nothing on editing team names and uniforms?
