  1. Oops LOL It's still all there! My screen for some reason wasn't loading past Off-Topic.
  2. I used to participate occasionally on the Tecmo Super Bowl III forum, but I can't figure out how to navigate to it now. Does it still exist?
  3. Thank you for getting these posted again!
  4. Try this topic, tecmo alpha:
  5. Try this video, tecmoalpha. It shows different styles of DL use by both coaches:
  6. I missed the whole thing as I was out of town. I got back just in time to see the slow painful death that is the free agency period. Can't wait to see the playoff games, but by the time they are posted my interest will have waned. Honestly not really worth watching NFTGL until the Panthers are competitive again
  7. Are you talking about the postseason awards or actually playing in the pro bowl? Postseason awards are done by the computer and I believe there are weighted odds usually based on league leaders in one particular statistic. The Pro Bowl is the actual Pro Bowlers from that year and the roster never changes. Do I have this right, guys?
  8. So was the game normal after that?
  9. What a wild and crazy game. A ridiculous lucky bomb, back-to-back returns (one by an OL), one horrible mistake followed by another, and a close game at the end. Two questions... First, why was Smutnik allowed to onside kick with 2:30 left in the 3rd quarter only down 14? Second, what is the rule again on cuts? What if Irv's third "cut" had been 90 degrees (straight down, for example) instead of diagonal?
  10. Oh man, I remember this. He glitched himself right out of the playoffs Fantastic INT return at 37:00
  11. Loved this one for the constant whining
  12. I toyed with this last night against the Rams with mixed results. The play it worked best with was the toss to Leonard Russell. I was using Dennis Smith and he was able to get to Russell and take him down quickly and easily. I struggled with the Bettis run in T-formation. Dennis was almost going TOO fast, I had trouble maneuvering him through defenders and into Bettis. The key is to dive tackle Bettis if you can, because if you grapple there is a guy right there to knock you off. Surprisingly, I had the most trouble with the Chris Miller roll-out from that T-formation. Again, I had trouble getting used to going so fast compared with everyone else on the field and hitting a moving target (even though I know what his path will be). I had three shots at him. All three times I audibled from Dime to Normal. The first time I just plain whiffed, but fortunately Miller overthrew Alexander Wright on the post pattern. The next two times I grappled Miller, but I was instantly knocked off by an OL. Both times Miller went back to Wright and nobody was covering. Both went for 50-yd receptions. I think it's going to take some practice, but in the right situations it can blow up a play that otherwise is tough to defend. But like with the Miller roll-out, failure to execute can be deadly. I've got Carolina coming up soon. I'm going to see if I can grapple Barry Foster before he receives that delayed pitch.
