    gosh.  

    I will test out some MAN v COM.

    so, can this hack be applied to any TSB ROM (including 32-team)?

     

    This can be applied to any rom including the 32-team roms.  If there is playbook changes then the made code will work but all the x90 commands for the offense need to be altered to adhere to the new format.  The code above is x1DA20-x1DAF9 and the code to jump to it is x288BE-x288D6 (only other changes are the 90 commands values for the plays)

    I was just playing on save staves against RAMS, it seems to be working great - I knew what play they were running and would go cover different receivers - the QB would throw to the open guy.


     


    regarding the new "90 commands" - what does a higher value "first nibble" mean?  does it mean that they can be "less open" and still be thrown to?

    The higher the first nibble the more open they need to be.  Example 13 and A3, 13 would need the WR1 to be open with about 1 yard surrounding him on all sides to be open while A3 would need about 10 yards to his left and right and 6 yards to his top and bottom to be open

     

    The original play code looked like:

    91 73 F4 42 B8

    91 = 2 Receivers

    73 = 46% chance of throwing to 3 (WR1)

    F4 = 100% chance of throwing to 4 (WR2) (if not thrown to 3)

    42 B8 = pointer to change control to receiver

    while the new code replaces the receivers chance of being thrown to with the value of how much space needs to open around him.

    The Priority Code for the QB was one of my favorite pieces of information acquired (by Jstout) early on in the development of Tecmo Super Coach. It allowed me to personalize pressured releases, scramble rate, and 'intelligence' of the QB. This now bumps up the QB 'smarts' x 10. Well done, Jstout. Awesome stuff.

    This is awesome. A huge step up from even weighted random. 


     


    I should revisit my formulas that tried to determined if a WR was open or not to create some rule of thumbs depending on the the final destination of the pattern. 


     


    This is obvious but the closer to the line of scrimmage the WR stops his pattern at the smaller "box distance" you want to set. The "box distance" doesn't increase linearly


    since WR's that run longer patterns the defender will have more time to accelerate to and run at top speed. 


     


    For a rom that is primarily designed for  COA vs COA or COM vs COM the box distances can be set smaller.


     


    For MAN it has to be larger so that a man can't easily "bait" the QB's into throws.

    Wow, I've been saying that if someone could finally do this, then the computer would finally start giving good players legit competition.  This hack + juice is going to revolutionize MAN vs. COM play, and COA vs. COA.  The computer already knows how to run in most cases.  Now it can pass smartly . . . awesome. 


     


    I tested this in MANvs.COM, MANvs.COA, and COAvs.COA, and it was perfect.  That's not to say the QB's performed perfectly, but they shouldn't.  Very often, the best NFL QB's don't see open WR's.  Under pressure especially, the QB's will still throw into coverage but that's also realistic. 


     


    The ONLY thing I might add to this hack is if the QB's first two receivers are covered and he has a 31 or better MS, then scramble.  Definitely not necessary though.


     


    Great job! I hope this can be applied to Drummer's rom.

    This is a good point

    This is the same code as above but changing the rectangular check to a circle (requires more space for better accuracy).

    I echo jesseguild and buckbbuck's questions: how do we get this into a rom?  Is there an ips patch?  That programming language above is foreign to me.

     

    make a patch!  download original NES TSB rom, download jstouts first rom of the first post.  make a patch.  apply patch to whatever.

    Thanks, I guess I should ask for SET commands instead though.  I made a patch and applied it to the TB.org 2013 version of the game and it ended up changing player names, positions, etc. too.

    you must have done something wrong, then.  this looks like a regular 28-team original NES TSB rom with this hack applied.  

     

    you need to use the original 1991 NES TSB unmodified rom to make your patch

    attached is an ips patch made from 1991 TSB and JStout's 1st rom in the 1st post of this thread.   It passes my tests.

    Sweet, thanks, that one works for me.  The first time, I did use the original game to make the patch, but I also used the juiced version of jstout's file, so maybe that's what went wrong.
