keirre21 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I've been spending more and more time of late sharpening my skills in NCAA Football 2012 and I had an idea (not sure if it has been brought up before). Since the A Button serves no purpose on defense when not engaged in grapples, I was wondering if it would be possible to make a hack where you can change defenders in the middle of a play. At first, I was thinking of a nearest defender switch, like you see in later football games, but that would seem too difficult. On the other hand, I thought that maybe you can cycle through defenders like you can cycle through receivers. The one big snag, I would see, is the need to grapple. I don't know how gaming logic works, but I guess there would need to be something in the code that would prevent cycling when engaging a defender. Just wondering if this would at all be possible (using either the A,B, start or select buttons). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tecmo Psycho Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I don't like the sound of that at all. Not being able to switch defenders is what makes it Tecmo. You take that away it is not even the same type of game on defense. JMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcheerleader Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Tecmo Psycho may be right. I do think it would give the defense an enormous advantage and I'm already bad enough on offense. I'd love to try it out and if someone can create the hack then why not?! I like the idea.

hurricane55 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Every idea is worht exploring. Even if it ends up not accomplishing what it should, sometimes the collateral effects can be used. We found out how to color the field with the home teams unies by accident when trying something else entirely out, and that enhanced our visuals ten fold. Same thing with the background during team select. I could see some use if it were done with some thought, like after the ball has crossed the line of scrimmage, after the completion, or on kick coverage. If it is not accesable right away, then you still get "punished" for selecting the wrong guy on the play, and having to play catch up.

bgboud2 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Don't let any idea get poopood.Of course I see the problem of thinking you are close enough for a dive tackle but then it switches on you, but I wonder if it could be switched to the start button after the snap.

Knobbe Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Just when you thought you had all the answers, they change the questions! This would be interesting to see....if it could actually be implemented is another story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buck Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 when is the "quick kick" hack going to happen? before snap, press SELECT for QB to "quick punt" the ball.but seriously, I think a feasible hack would be to make COM Defenders NOT DIVE so damn much. Like SNES defenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cxrom Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I toyed with this idea a few years ago. I got stuck on reassigning an ai script to the player that was vacated, so it ended up just continuing to do whatever I was doing before I switched. Its very rough (...it'll let you switch while you're the ball carrier), but here's the rom. Select will cycle to the next player after the ball has been snapped.change.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it doesn't seem to work on defense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSBGOD Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Although it would change the whole concept of Tecmo...I really think this would be one of greatest hacks ever. Tecmo is an offensive juggernaut and this would maybe make it a lot more level playing field. Tough to see this possible though. Insane!

keirre21 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 If one of the great hackers put their mind to it, I'm sure this could be done. Maybe not 5 yrs ago but now, definitely . Everyone talks about it changing the game but over these last 4-5 years most of the hacks done never see the light of day anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toolie Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I think it would give good tappers more of an advantage. Kind of like how everyone in the matrix is a possible agent, now every drone on your opponents squad is an elite tapper!

Coconuts Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Not a particularly great idea IMHO. You want to switch defenders during the play, go play Madden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually this would help poor tappers more because once you get tossed from an iso grapple you can grab the the nearest drone to engage a ball carrier with more help along the way. toolie and segathonsov 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruddog Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 The real problem becomes what "action" to assign the player you just vacated. This becomes a problem if you have to cycle through most of the team to get to the player you want. segathonsov and toolie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buck Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 OT: I still think that a pre snap Timeout would be the best hack. all these others are trivial and non TSB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manYo Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 this would be like changing all the pawns in a game of chess into bishops, rooks, etc...... and it's in the pawn game (ie the drone game) where some of the deeper artistry of tecmo is played. segathonsov 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
