Like the last season, I did a quarterly condition check for four players:

-- Herschel never went into excellent! (16b 50a 9g)

-- AC went into excellent just twice (14b 49a 11g)

-- Whiskey Wade never went into bad! (31a 35g 10e)

-- Gannon was excellent 19 times, and not in bad until the NFC champ (4b 18a 35g)

Whiskey Wade threw for 5800 yd including playoffs, 75 TD and a glorious 34 INT.

Gannon threw for 940 yd, 9 TD and 8 INT.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Ranking:

YD --  1) Herschel (5316)

          2) Rison (5243)

TD --  1) Rison (91)

          2)G.Anderson (85)

          3)Herschel (84)

SEASON 2: Gary Anderson of Tampa Bay (50ms / 50rec)

My second effort for a 100 TD, 6000 yard season. 
Here is how it panned out:

1) NYJ 7TD, 456yd

2) CHI 6TD, 343yd

3) GB 7TD, 529yd

4) BUF 7TD, 431yd

13) MIA 3TD, 147yd

14) MIN 7TD, 445yd

15) CHI 3TD, 88yd (lost)

16) IND 7TD, 461yd

DIV) NYG 3TD, 127yd (lost)

85TD. 4957 yd

Nuts! Failed again. I really needed a deep playoff run to have a shot at passing up Bad Moon's 91 / 5243.

In addition to TDs and yards I decided to keep track of player conditions, not only for Gary but for Vinny, back-up QB Jeff Carlson, and Mark Carrier.

Not that I was trying to get yards with Carrier, but I was curious how his conditions faired since he is Tampa Bay's main weapon. I played 17 games, or 68 quarters.

1) Gary went in 'bad' condition for the last time in game 7 (by quarter: 10b, 23av, 31g, 3e) !!

2) Carlson stayed in good for 16 quarters straight from game 7 to 11 (9b, 16av, 25g, 17e)

3) Vinny was in 'good' for the last 9 quarters (10b, 22av, 25g, 10e)

4) Carrier, who enjoyed the best conditions of the four, was in good for 7 quarters straight, and in excellent for 7 quarters straight (2b, 9av, 35g, 21e)

@Paul Street

Thanks!

Here are the plays I usually rely on when my main game plan is to chuck it deep to to my wr1 (top). 

Yep I use r&s z fly as my pass 2, but that's more of a scoring play for when I'm on the 10-15 yd line, since the wr1 will cut off his route and jump for the ball if the pass is timed right (called a 'JJ').

Yep the only game I lost all season was to the Niners. I shoulda respected the San Fran !!

They were just so juiced and 3 TD were not nearly enough.

Recently I wished to get some mad deep JJ practice to my boy Andre Rison. While I was pouring on the stats in season mode, I began to wonder: could I reach 100 TD and 6000 yards receiving with Bad Moon? I decided to include the playoffs to increase my chances. 

Here's how the season went. These are all receiving stats, all with Rison:

1) KC 8TD, 433 yd

2) MIN 9TD, 395 yd

3) SD 7TD, 433 yd

4) RAI 8TD, 530 yd

5) NO 6TD, 321 yd

6) SF 5TD, 409 yd

7) PHX 2TD, 224 yd

8.) RAM 2TD, 182 yd

9) SF 5 TD, 195 yd

10) WAS 4 TD, 223 yd

11) TB 3 TD, 112 yd

12) NO 5 TD, 267 yd

13) GB 6 TD, 334 yd

14) RAM 5TD, 285 yd

15) SEA 3 TD, 180 yd

16) DAL 4TD, 184 yd

DIV) CHI 6TD, 311 yd

NFC) SF 3TD, 225 yd

91 TD. 5243 yd

I didn't make it! I would have gotten closer had I advanced to the Super Bowl of course.

Bad Moon is a beast, but I want to try this again with Anderson (chi), Anderson (TB), Sanders (DET), Gray (DET), and Bentley (IND).

This is great!

Since as of now there is no roster list from game FAQ.

For 1993 roster, does John Elway really have a 44hp? Interesting!

Signed up and paid!

@Bolt

Ding ding ding on the #48 Lionel! 

The other guy wears #29 for an NFC team.

Yo yo yo, sorry, had a good nap though.

There are two original TSB defensive backs who are not given a first name, only an initial. 

Who they be?

Note: I'm not talking about JB Brown for the Dolphins. That be his real first name (sort of) !! 

hints:

1) rushed for exactly 100 yd

2) more Green Day than Zappa (?)

3) AFC Team

x Don Smith

x Joe Caravello

Answer: Ivy Joe Hunter?

When I think about Tecmo Jam Cleveland 2019 I get so excited I have trouble breathing. 

It's a goal of mine to spread the Jam love as much as I can this year. At each Tecmo tourney I go to, I hope to bring a Jam TE Genesis set-up. For added flavor, my friend @Dan S and I run a challenge where we take any and all contenders. We offer our opponents a tier advantage, but if they play us straight up they can win money off of us. So far it has been fun to see the interest there is out there for Jam.

Another goal I have is to do a video series on the Retro Sports Gamer channel (@allamerican1569) called NBA Jam Rules. I'll be doing play-throughs of NBA Jam and NBA Jam TE on both SNES and GEN. I'll be offering tips and promoting the Jam tourneys this year -- Tecmo Jam Cleveland and Tecmo XV in New York.

 @TecmoClevelandif you need any help spreading the word, let me know. You can also find me at Joseph Readitnweep Moore on FB.

Super excited about Barry Melrose next weekend!!!

This will be my second time coming to an Edge of '94 event. Last year was a total blast. Got a lot of NHL games in and had a lot of fun watching a very competitive finals.

I am excited to play in the Friday night Tecmo tournament for the first time. During Tundra I was pleased to find there is a strong core or solid Tecmo players in the Green Bay area. I hope the GB guys are ready, cause the Chicago boys are looking to make some noise!!

I'm also looking forward to all this pizza that is being mentioned. Looks like I just need to bring some coconut water and I'll be good to go . Props to @trojan1979 / Troy for always having awesome sponsors, prizes, and an overall well-run tournament.

I'm looking forward to seeing what all Edge VR Arcade has to offer. Last year I played some nifty VR games - one of them was a flying sim. I was too chicken to follow through with it, but I'm looking to be braver next year!

See you all next weekend !!

If anyone is interested in playing NBA Jam TE on Sega I'd be more than happy to layout the challenge on Friday night. Can't guarantee but I'm sure @Green Majik might be willing to take on a few comers as well.

Yessir, I will bring the Jam. And a sharpy, so we can make our official stakes thingamajig. 

I'm cutting and pasting this from the Equalizer 2 thread:

/ / / / /

If you are coming out to The Equalizer 2, consider entering the NBA Jam: Tournament Edition (Sega Genesis) challenge against @Dan S (DPS) and myself. We are NBA Jam studs and we are putting our money where our mouth is.

Defeat either me or DPS in NBA Jam: TE in a one-on-one battle and you could win up to $25! 

Here are the rules:

1) Challenger may select ANY team of his choice.

2) Challenger selects how many tiers advantage he wants to have against us (5 total tiers). The tier handicap determines the level of the stakes ($).

3) We select our team based on tier disadvantage.

4) One-on-one match with standard settings: 3/timer speed, 3/cpu difficulty,  tag mode ON, Tournament Mode ON

Stakes: 

*  Winning with teams from the same tier = you win $25!      $0 paid if you lose.

*  Winning with 1 tier difference = $20.    $0 paid if you lose.

*  Winning with 2 tier difference = $10 for a win.     $0 paid if you lose.

*  Winning with a 3 tier difference = $10 for a win.      $5 paid if you lose.

*  Winning with a 4 tier difference = $10 for a win.     $10 paid if you lose .

Tiers:

Example:

Challenger takes the Knicks from tier 2. And they want a two-tier advantage. This means we can choose any team from tier 4 or lower. The stakes are $10 if the challenger wins, with $0 lost if they lose. 

So come out out and take our $$$ !!!

Payment sent! Ready to Rock !!!

I had this happen recently. I was playing Mort in person. Roby kicked it a mile and his PR had to catch it off the bounce.

And here I come 14 years later ...

Playing on console, I have noticed a bit of a delay when selecting plays. Not a big deal and something easily gotten used to after a while. I don't find I have to press the buttons any harder when selecting a play however. 

Without a doubt there are times when I press B to pass while getting chased by linemen and I'm not able to throw, which usually ends in getting sacked. This is really noticeable especially because of how hair-trigger the passing is in original TSB. I do find it easier to get passes off if I don't allow linemen to get too close to me.

If you are coming out to The Equalizer 2, consider entering the NBA Jam: Tournament Edition (Sega Genesis) challenge against @Dan S (DPS) and myself. We are NBA Jam studs and we are putting our money where our mouth is.

Registered and ready to rock!!

@Deleted Account lives a lot closer to Michael Anthony's than I do, I think, but I can host some folks if needed as well.

I live on the north side of Chicago, about a 40 minute drive from Michael Anthony's. Just in case it is worth someone's while.

In!

Oh my god. Did I curse this man? I harmlessly put him in a trivia question, then he takes to the pipe and gets arrested ??

Perhaps I cursed myself -- Monday night I played against my friends in back-to-back games with the Buccaneers, and I scored just three points in eight quarters:

Regardless, @kamphuna8 you're up! And great info scoop on McCants!

Who is the only top 10 selection of the 1990 draft to not make the game?

Out of all the players on Tecmo Super Bowl NES, how many also appear in the Genesis and SNES versions?

... 250

I had an absolute blast at Blono Tecmo XV. Thank you Chris, Tim, and everyone else who had a hand in putting on the tourney. 

@Tecmo Psycho, great write-up on the tourney. It was awesome to meet and play you. You are a great guy. As for our loser's bracket game, I should have taken the Eagles! Although I just know you would have obliterated me with that Bears defense  

... And don't worry about the lags between matches toward the end of the night. Believe me, the Chicago boys were all having a great time (except Flo for a spell there  ). We didn't get home till late, but we knew what we were getting into. If we made frequent mention about how long the stream/tournament was going, it was all in fun. We were in the moment and having the time of our lives. I believe I speak for most of us when I say we are hooked, and we'll definitely be back next year for Blono Tecmo XVI ... when you should be prepared to suffer my revenge!

Oh, and congrats to @tecmobo! Even though you're "not even good," you put together an impressive run

My dream is NCAA Jam. Have each school's top three alumni. For example, LSU could have Maravich, Pettit, and Shaq.

Dude that's a great idea. But what would be your method for narrowing it down to 27ish teams?

Are you still interested in playing as well?

Thank you for the reminder. The NY came quickly!

I've just sent bloomingtontecmo my buy-in. 

Only thing is I don't have a car anymore, so I'll be hitchin' a ride  .

Hopefully you take beer donations, because I intend to contribute with some Chicago flavah.

I will definitely let you know.  Not opposed to multiple cars if I can rally the troops.

Consider myself rallied. I'm in! And I got a car, too, so let's keep the rally going.

I don't know bro, people were saying @ShallahBey put on a better performance then a drunk ass Flo probably would of.  I don't know, that's just what I heard.

@ShallahBey had an incredible tournament. Main reason the above is a healthy debate is because the Bucs were still on the table ...
