  1. Tecmonster's TSB 2016 rom

    Finally, the work is finished and the fun begins.  The game is attached and so is the second annual "Preview Magazine" to the game.  Madden ratings were used once again to rate every player.  Here's a list of hacks and hack authors used to help create this:

    -- 32-team expansion rom (cx_rom, Maynard, Knobbe, others)

    -- helmets, field colors (keithisgood)

    -- COM looks for open receivers (jstout)

    -- COM Ultra Logic to play better defense (jstout)

    -- moving & dynamic grapples (bruddog)

    -- MAN vs. MAN popcorning (jstout)

    -- sort receiving leaders by yards (jstout)

    -- more accurate attribute labels, like “Acceleration” (Tecmonster)

    -- kicking arrow speed & range to make FG’s easier (Tecmonster)

    -- COM minimum kickoff distance (bruddog)

    -- increase kickoff ball speed (maynard, bodom)

    -- increase shotgun snap speed (jstout)

    -- tougher to block FG’s by adding personal protectors (Tecmonster)

    -- increase QB fumble rate (jstout)

    -- decrease diving animation time slightly (xplozv)

    -- decrease handoff animation time (xplozv)

    -- COM “juice” edited (by Tecmonster)

    -- PA affects “catchability/interceptability” of the pass (jstout)

    -- set kick returner farther back (bodom)

    -- Ball Control ratios edited so BC means more (by Tecmonster)

    -- static schedules from week to week (bruddog)

    -- Quickness changed to Coverage (jstout)

    -- kick returners use their actual attributes (konforce, jstout)

    -- stats screen at halftime (xplozv)

    -- corrected playoff bracket (pambazos)

    -- MAN-controlled QB rollouts on the rollout plays (Tecmonster)

    -- LB’s moved farther back from line of scrimmage (Tecmonster)

    -- Run & Shoot QB’s almost never scramble (Tecmonster)

    -- “heavy pass” teams don’t pass quite as much (Tecmonster)

    -- PLAYBOOKS (I have drastically changed and re-organized the playbooks to make them more useful, logical, balanced, and modern), including: (a) new plays, like the Shotgun Shovel, Shotgun Zone Read RB R, Shotgun Zone Read QB L (with QB HP boost), Shotgun RB Draw, Shotgun Zone Read Red Sea (pass), Shotgun Zone Read X Fly (pass), Shotgun Zone Read RB Flat (pass), Pro Set Quick Pitch L, Pro Set Quick Pitch R, Pro Set Zone Pitch R, 1back Offtackle R, 1back Pitch R, 1back Pitch L, Run and Shoot Fire (pass), Shotgun XZ Cross, 1back Flare C, Pro Z Deep Post; ( improved blocking schemes for many run plays; © some receiving routes for existing plays improved; (d) some receiving routes added, like for Oneback Flare A;

    -- COM avoids sacks much better + faster COM rollouts (Tecmonster)

    -- shorter onside kicks (xplozv)

    -- COM RB reacts to the defense sooner after handoff (Tecmonster)

    -- smarter OL pass blocking (xplozv)

    -- receiver jump/dive based on REC rating (xplozv)

    -- defender jump/dive based on COV rating (xplozv)   

    -- team rosters, jersey #’s, faces (qbvikings, Tecmonster)

     

    In my opinion, the two coolest plays new to the game this season are the Shotgun Shovel (run slot 1) and the Shotgun Zone Read RB Flat pass (pass slot 4).  The Titans and 49ers have been assigned a full-time Shotgun playbook and they both utilize the Shotgun Shovel so see how your D does against it.

     

    Some of you won't like the fact that I included some out-for-season injured players in the game -- specifically, Kelvin Benjamin, Jordy Nelson, and Orlando Scandrick.  My general rule for injured players is that if there's a massive drop-off in talent from the injured starter to his back-up -- and I define "massive" as a 10+ point difference in their Overall rating in Madden -- then I keep the injured player on the roster.  Otherwise, I have tried to keep the rosters as accurate as possible.  If you don't like having those three guys in the game, then you can remove them in TSBToolSupreme and add in the following players:

    Panthers: WR Jerricho Cotchery #82, ratings: 38-38-38-25-56-50 (recommend assigning to WR4 slot)

    Packers: WR Jeff Janis #83, ratings: 31-25-63-13-50-44 (recommend assigning to WR4 slot)

    Cowboys: CB Morris Claiborne #24, ratings: 56-25-63-19-44-63

    On that note, if you do decide to make ANY edits to this game within TSBToolSupreme, then you'll also need to repair the rom afterwards because TSBTool will break part of the moving grapple code and the game will glitch.  So, here's what you do:

    I used the Translhextion hex editor to create a zip file, named x3ffc0, and have included that with the rom here.  I recommend opening this zip file and placing the one and only file that is inside it, also called x3ffc0, on your Desktop.  How you apply this file: open up your rom in Translhextion and jump to offset x3ffc0 (by clicking Offset > Jump To).  Highlight (by dragging on) that byte + the next 48 bytes (49 bytes total), then:

    1) go to Selection and click "Fill Selection with..."

    2) in the pop-up box, select "File" from the dropdown box after "Fill selection with"

    3) click "Browse" and find your file (preferably on your Desktop) and select it

    4) click "OK"

    5) Go "File" and save your rom.

    This should fix the problem.  Every time you edit your rom with TSBToolSupreme though, you're going to have to follow these steps directly afterwards.

     

    Files available: (1) Tecmonster's TSB 2016 game rom (2) Preview Magazine (3) Fantasy Appendix (4) Team Playbooks.  I was going to upload the x3ffc0 repair file, but the site won't let me upload zip files right now, so maybe later.

     

    Have fun, hope you like it . . .

  3. Tecmonster's Tecmo Super Bowl 2019 now available

    This game, Tecmonster’s Tecmo Super Bowl 2019, is based on the original Tecmo Super Bowl that we all know and love, but has been hacked and edited to a revolutionary extent!  To create the player ratings, I feed their Madden ratings into a spreadsheet of my own formulas that then spits out Tecmo-compatible ratings.  You might also notice that I’m actually using the “Running Power” attribute as a dynamic category for offensive players instead of just assigning every player a 69 rating, as in the original game (which was, in my opinion, simply an oversight by the creators, or maybe just a shortcut to finish the game faster).  I also changed its name to “Acceleration” because that’s its real function.  Here’s an index of the hacks used to create this game, in no particular order, with tecmobowl.org authors in parenthesis:
    -- 32-team expansion rom (cx_rom, Maynard, Knobbe, others)
    -- helmets, field colors (keithisgood)
    -- COM looks for open receivers (jstout)
    -- COM Ultra Logic to play better defense (jstout)

    -- kicking arrow speed & range to make FG’s easier (Tecmonster)
    -- COM minimum kickoff distance to 8yl, max to -3yl (bruddog)
    -- increase kickoff ball speed (maynard, bodom)
    -- increase shotgun snap speed (jstout)
    -- tougher to block FG’s by adding personal protectors (Tecmonster)
    -- increase QB fumble rate (jstout)
    -- decrease diving animation time slightly (xplozv)
    -- decrease handoff animation time (xplozv)
    -- COM “juice” edited (by Tecmonster)
    -- PA affects “catchability/interceptability” of the pass (jstout)
    -- set kick returner farther back (bodom)
    -- Ball Control ratios edited so BC means more (by Tecmonster)

    -- LB’s moved farther back from line of scrimmage (Tecmonster)
    -- Run & Shoot QB’s almost never scramble (Tecmonster)
    -- “heavy pass” teams don’t pass quite as much (Tecmonster)
    -- REVISED PLAYBOOKS (I have drastically changed and re-organized the playbooks to make them more useful, logical, balanced, and modern), including: (a) new plays, like the Shotgun Shovel, Shotgun Zone Read RB R, Shotgun Zone Read QB L (with QB HP boost), Shotgun RB Draw, Shotgun Zone Read Red Sea (pass), Shotgun Zone Read X Fly (pass), Shotgun Zone Read RB Flat (pass), Pro Set Quick Pitch L, Pro Set Quick Pitch R, Pro Set Zone Pitch R, 1back Offtackle R, 1back Pitch R, 1back Pitch L, Run and Shoot Fire (pass), Shotgun XZ Cross, 1back Flare C, Pro Z Deep Post; (b) improved blocking schemes for many run plays; (c) some receiving routes for existing plays improved; (d) some receiving routes added, like for Oneback Flare A;

    -- smarter OL pass blocking (xplozv)
    -- receiver jump/dive based on REC rating (xplozv)
    -- defender jump/dive based on COV rating (xplozv)
    -- COM minimum punt distance @ 50% bar (bruddog)
    -- Avoid Pass Block ratios edited so APB means more (Tecmonster)
    -- team rosters, jersey #’s, faces (Tecmonster)
    -- city name changes (bruddog)
    -- automated and accurate sim ratings (Tecmonster)
    Special thanks to bruddog, buck, and pambazos (zone read plays) for helping me understand play-making, and to tecmobowl.org.

  5. Tecmonster's Tecmo Super Bowl 2022

    SPECIAL NOTES FOR 2022: 
    (1) I have tremendous time constraints these days and didn't think I would actually get around to making a game this year, but I decided to bite the bullet and get it done. With this in mind, please understand that my priority was expediency over accuracy, so you'll probably see a few roster gaffes. Please don't email me and ask for changes to be made because I just don't have the time. It is what it is.
    (2) Special thanks to SBlueman. I predominantly used his rosters (but not the player ratings) as the basis for mine. Saved a lot of time. His rosters are a little jacked up because I think his game utilizes multiple TE sets and nickel defenses so that's why you'll see nickel backs (they are the fast dudes with low HP) within the LB corps of most of my teams this year.
    (3) The Washington and LA Rams logos have not been updated. I've never been skilled with TSB graphics editing but if someone can send me the necessary code, I'll make those changes and re-publish with the new graphics.
     
    STANDARD GAME NOTES:  This game, Tecmonster’s Tecmo Super Bowl, is based on the original Tecmo Super Bowl that we all know and love, but has been corrected, hacked and edited to a revolutionary extent. It's how the original game shoulda been made!  To create the player ratings, I feed their Madden ratings into a spreadsheet of my own formulas that then spits out Tecmo-compatible ratings.  You might also notice that I’m actually using the “Running Power” attribute as a dynamic category for offensive players instead of just assigning every player a 69 rating, as in the original game (which was, in my opinion, simply an oversight by the creators, or maybe just a shortcut to finish the game faster).  I also changed its name to “Acceleration” because that’s its real function.  All in all, there are roughly 40 different hacks implemented here (all described in the Preview Magazine and mostly sourced from highly skilled contributors at tecmobowl.org) and totally overhauled playbooks that better represent the modern-day NFL (like the pistol zone read, etc.).  I think the final result here is a smoother, more dynamic, and better overall game experience, with a much smarter and harder-to-beat AI, while still keeping the game just as simple to play as the original. The greatest video game ever made is better than ever!
     
    FOR EDITORS: If you decide to make ANY edits to this game within TSBToolSupreme, then you'll very likely need to repair the rom afterwards because that program will break part of the moving grapple code and the game will glitch. So, here's what you do: I used the free Translhextion hex editor to create a file, named x3ffc0, and you can download that file here.  I recommend saving this file to your Desktop.
    How you apply this file: open up your rom in Translhextion and jump to offset x3ffc0 (by clicking Offset > Jump To > then enter x3ffc0 in the field). Highlight (by dragging on) that byte + the next 48 bytes (49 bytes total), then:
    1) go to Selection and click "Fill Selection with..."
    2) in the pop-up box, select "File" from the dropdown box after "Fill selection with"
    3) click "Browse" and find your file (preferably on your Desktop) and select it
    4) click "OK"
    5) Go to "File" and save your rom.
    This should fix the problem. Every time you edit your rom with TSBToolSupreme though, you're going to have to follow these steps directly afterwards. If you have a Mac though, I don't know if this will work.

    -- QB’s Avoid Pass Block rating is more important (low APB QB’s are bad news, notable increase in passes blocked)

    -- moving grapples turbocharged (i.e. bruddog’s version sped up)

    -- minor player ratings formula and playbook tweaks



    If you do decide to make ANY edits to this game within TSBToolSupreme, then you'll very likely need to repair the rom afterwards because that program will break part of the moving grapple code and the game will glitch. So, here's what you do:

    I used the Translhextion hex editor to create a zip file, named x3ffc0, and have included that with the rom here.  I recommend opening this zip file and placing the one and only file that is inside it, also called x3ffc0, on your Desktop. How you apply this file: open up your rom in Translhextion and jump to offset x3ffc0 (by clicking Offset > Jump To). Highlight (by dragging on) that byte + the next 48 bytes (49 bytes total), then:

    1) go to Selection and click "Fill Selection with..."

    2) in the pop-up box, select "File" from the dropdown box after "Fill selection with"

    3) click "Browse" and find your file (preferably on your Desktop) and select it

    4) click "OK"

    5) Go to "File" and save your rom.

    This should fix the problem. Every time you edit your rom with TSBToolSupreme though, you're going to have to follow these steps directly afterwards.

    If you use this rom as a basis for a fantasy league like I do and you want the Draft Package, which lists players by salary, you can download it from the front page of our league’s website: renotecmoleague.weebly.com.
