I found this on NHL94.com, and found it to be a nice tutorial with a simulator baked into the tutorial... http://skilldrick.github.io/easy6502/index.html

The following contents are entirely credited to Jstout, as part of a locations .txt file that he created, and that Buck had recently posted a scan from. Some of the contents of the below TSB ROM locations have been posted previously in Hacking Documentation from other sources. A great deal of it, however, is unique to the information found below. Eventually, this information will be assimiliated into the main Hacking Documentation resource thread.

A few years back, we had a fun Tecmo Bowl league that we ran with the original ROM (http://tecmo.sweethoss.com). It was a lot of fun, but crappy owners and really small amount of people enjoying TB contributed to its downfall... Seems like there are more TB fans here lately...wondering if anyone would be interested in a league again sometime... I've always wanted to do something where your team is your real team from high school, and you provide a bunch of teams created by random and you draft a "team" instead of individual players, and then just play a short 8 game season or something, top two teams playing in the "State Championship." TB is perfect for simple, no-frills tecmo fun...

I really don't know, it's been about 3 years, and I drop hints wherever I can. Unfortunately, we don't have too many genesis hackers around here, so it's not like someone can step up and help. We have about 95% of the data we need, so we're close. Honestly, if we can make it happen, converting to an NBA ROM wouldn't be difficult, and might be kind of fun... Anyways, I mostly have given up...thankfully there are lots of great projects to enjoy in it's stead...

Would be pretty easy to convert Coach K on the genesis over to an NBA ROM...in fact, it'd be real easy...if only we had that last bit of info from drunkenhonkey or hurricane55...

Here's an idea: We do the 3 game "regular season" like we did in Seattle. Determines the playoffs the same, but every time you win a game you have to take a shot. This means whoever wins the tournament would have had to take at least 7 shots.

The schedule: Below breaks down the 3 week schedule for each pool. The letter (U) or (J) by the team name distinguishes whether the team is USA or Japan version. The 3 game schedule dictates that half of each pool has 2 home games (Player 1), and the other half has 2 road games. Each tier was randomly represented with 3 teams having a predominant home schedule, and the other 3 with a predominant road schedule. Each week also featured 2 marquee games in order to spread out the big match-ups. The Tournament: The team records after 3 games will determine the seeding in the tournament. To determine seeding between teams with the same records a distinct metric was created. Each team was given a schedule ranking based on the competition inside their Pool. That ranking, then will be coupled with a rating for their wins to come up with a final tiebreaking number. It took into account the tier of opponents they faced, and also where the game was played. Home(Player 1) and Road(Player 2). With nearly 2,000 games worth of data, its clear that player 1 (home) has a distinct advantage and wins roughly 60-65% of the time. The top 8 teams in Pool play will be awarded 1st round byes in the tournament. The other 16, will play at the home of the higher seed in the 1st round. Pool Analysis: See my posts further down as I break down each Pool in great detail.

I still don't know metrics, I just rely on unmatched, unparalled, jedi like, natural, God givin' skill.

Sweet. I'm pretty stoked for this tournament.

Man I found something on this topic: As you did find on jstout's notes, at offset x22E4B it is said : $AE3A:C9 09 CMP #$09 ; Week to start checking (for DIVISION CHAMPS I guess..) I know the CORRECT answer is within the notes posted by cxrom, but they are way over my head (seriously I dont understand a thing in there). Anyway, in your rom you put a 04 (at that x22E4B offset), but if you input a 0E, ( or 0F worked ALMOST right for my rom) it will trigger that "search-week" later, it seems.. but you have to "trigger" it before the end of season (week 17). So, at offsets x22EDD-x22EDE , try the value A2 10 (I dont know why and I wish someone can tell me please what these bytes stand for?, it might seem that the 10 (HEX=16) is for the 16 you mentioned in your post, about the record but thats just guessing. This will make SOME teams leading their division by 2 games or more, to play that CUTSCENE after the 0E ("X") week, because of "the maths" they're the "virtual" Division champs no matter next results. Making a "crushing" team even more "feared", (or making you believe that they've qualified with ease just because of that cutscene..) NOW, I KNOW IT HAS A PROBLEM, and if I remember correctly, sometimes it "PRE-calculates", turning the champion into the second place of its division (because its record can still be tied...) So you have to "play" with the value for the "start-checking-week" and with the "10", or you have to change another value somewhere (I haven't found where yet) for it to work correctly. when 0E is input at offset x22E4B it "precalculates" it wrong, cause as you can see, season has 2 games left, for it to end. If WESTEROS wins those 2, and if WOLVERINES loses both. the two teams would end up with a TIED record. and the winner, will not always be the "pre-selected-champ" CUTSCENE has been already shown. But when 0F is the "X-week", this "calculation" will be correct ( I'm pretty sure it won't anyway. that´s why I removed it from my notes, but I checked and checked with your rom and it worked out right all the time...) The problem is that CUTSCENE will appear until the last week ( kinda late), right after AXE lost their last game, but You can see The MAULERS have not played their last game yet . **And when I say "0F is input (at offset x22E4B)" , also the offset x22EDD needs to be changed with A2. (or A7, or I dont remember..)

yeah man.. Haddix has hidden stats in the game I think. I can run so fast with him.. he's the ultimate weapon in the game. He can catch, run, popcorn, play D.. anything you want.

I agree. Haddix is the best running back in the game by FAR
