TecmoTurd Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Basically, the computer is too easy. I'm hoping to get hold of jstout to find the juice code, but in the meantime I want to play some human players. I was IMing TPCers last night, but rather than hunt people down, I thought we could have an official thread representing a directory of anyone who wants to play TB online.If the list gets big enough, I'd be willing to write a TPC for TB players...but I want to see who even has interest in the game. If it's just me, buck and mad-brad, I won't waste my time, and instead I'll just continue to look for players who want to play one-off games...I'm not looking for a league (yet) or anything more than just some casual online play, but if you have any interest, let it be known so that we may play some games.Post your AIM SN along with your response...

buck Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I'm down. I will need some assistance setting up whatever emulator you use (Nestopia? Can't get it to work online for some reason - maybe my friends are being dumbasses on their end) - because I've always used VirtuaNES playing online with friends.when will you be around? I don't leave AIM on much at all (I use AIM express).AIM: buck4tsb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoTurd Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 Might be around tonight, or tomorrow night...i'll hit you up if I see you on. NEstopia > VirtuaNES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcheerleader Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I'm not being a killjoy but why play TB when we have TSB? Please explain. EDIT: I just read the other thread, aka TB Tool, and now get the love of TB. I too remember those days well and may tinker with this myself.

TecmoTurd Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 My reasons are pretty simple......I like the arcade feel of TB, the bigger player models, and I'm starting to love the 4 play thing. The biggest reason though is change of pace...it's just something different I haven't gotten into until recent (since my childhood, anyways). So, I decided to starting getting some love for the game and see what comes of it.If you want to play a game, let me know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoTurd Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 Dang, so it's only me and buck, and I never see buck online...my attempts at finding a casual TB game have failed. Ah well...maybe someday.I just got ca-rushed by LA with MIA vs. the computer. Really hurts the pride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
averagetsbplayer Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Turd, if you want a game, you can probably hit me up. I know very little about the game, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoTurd Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 I actually thought about it, but one of the guys in my RBI league hit me up and we had two good matches...1st game was MIA (me) vs. IND and I won 17-32nd game was CLE (me) vs. DEN and I won 13-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoTurd Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 We can def. play sometime...I'm not very good, but I like the change of pace... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadawim Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Alas, 'tis a game i would rather play on console. But i do play it as often as the others (see PM, TT). I just don't know when or how sticky i would be to an online game. That and i'm already hooked into another schedule that is ongoing which typically takes all my online time.

TecmoTurd Posted July 24, 2010 Author Share Posted July 24, 2010 Just played some more TB tonight...I'm sad I didn't get into this game earlier. I love the simplicity and the 4 plays thing...changes strategy and makes for a different game...I really hope jstout finds time to finish the 32 team ROM...playing this online vs. a human opponent has opened up my desire to play it more, and a 32 team ROM would be awesome. If I knew more people would play it, I'd write a "TPC" type thing for TB, but I can't see wasting the time if only 3 people play it. I wouldn't mind getting a casual league or something going sometime otherwise... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoTurd Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 Wrote a simple stat extractor for this the other night...just pulls quarter totals and final totals, plus the team index for each team as well as the team abbreviation...

Tecmo-Mad-Brad Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Turd, I need a primer on how to play online again. Haven't played online in years so I don't remember anything about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoTurd Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 Sure, glad to get ya setup...hit me up on IM. I'm actually working on a TPC style thing for SNES and TB...played a game the other night to test it out: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TecmoTurd Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 Yeah...it's still Tecmo, it's just 4 plays instead of 8, and almost every covered pass is an INT. Other than that, it's same tecmo goodness...just a different approach to some things...I'll find ya sometime avg and we'll hook up for a casual game...

TecmoTurd Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 Played TecmoBrowns (drummer4god) tonight. Wow, I'm still not used to the INT on every covered play...no more tap tap desperation throw, cause it's picked off, to the tune of like, 7 times in that game.That being said? Loads of effin' fun...

Stadawim Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 You really gotta watch out for some of that stuff. But the game is so fun, and so fast paced even though they typically are low scoring affairs (in the hands of a knowing player). NEVER any FGs (so what you guys did was outrageous). Say what you will, i still believe Chicago to be the best team. And not to be steppin on anyones' team here Turd, but Miami is probably the worst.

TecmoTurd Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 No harm no foul. Marino is my homeboy. But the defense a-sucks. Wish the packers were there. [ Post made on a Tecmo Super Mobile Device!] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tecmo-Mad-Brad Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 but Miami is probably the worst.Miami isn't an elite team, but not in the basement either. DAL, MIN, and WSH are all easily worse than Miami when you stack up the 12 teams. Miami also owns the defenses of DAL and WSH. Despite the speed WSH has on defense, pass 1 puts it on em pretty good. Manley can't get to the bottom WR in time on pass 1. Mann can't get to the top WR either. The best defense for Miami comes from guys like Fredd Young, Mecklenburg, Singletary, and Michael Carter. Speed coming from the middle is key to combat the quick throws to the top or bottom. Miami is a pretty tough match-up for Indy's defense because of poor team speed.

TecmoTurd Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 I don't do well with their defense, unfortunately. Oh well. I'll have to wait until a ROM with more teams *ahem* comes out and then we'll have a whole bunch to choose from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
