New rom with specific defenses for each slot. Example: If you pick the run 4 slot your defense will come out in a goalline formation. There are NO PICKED PLAYS.

I'm excited to try this out! Thanks.

Bump. I updated the playbook graphics so you can easily tell what defensive play you are picking.

[Knobbe]

So close except Player 2 is flipped letters, which you're working on!

Ha! I was trying to think of ways to make that very same notation. For the life of me, I never thought "just change the hex of the blank green tile." Good work, dude. Good thinking.

[bruddog]

Thanks. I updated the graphics to display vertically so that it doesn't get reversed for player 2.

Just played a game as the Bears vs the Giants. Love the different defensive formations, it creates an entirely new layer of competition. Youre coming from different angles as the D player you select compared to the original, which is a change I never realized Id ever like so much or even think of.
Obviously all Tecmo is enhanced vs MAN but this especially because you can "Read" formations and get an even better feel for your opponents strategy. And you can stack the line and play goalline D when your opponent is on his own one and go balls to the wall much more effectively than in the original.
And I also really liked the way the defensive "drones" flow to the ball exaclty as you described. For example in the DIme defense the MLB heads deep to the middle, the OLBs flow outside and then gradually toward the middle and the DB's play zone. You can actually dictate where Drone players go/end up by the play you select in a much more specific manner than the original.
One more thing the "No Picked PLay" feature was much cooler than I thought it would be. You may not pick the play, but your defenders are in the area in waves, nice touch.

Very nice. Thank you.

Hey homeboy,

I was wondering if you could post the hex addresses of the defensive formation Playbook Page letter/number notations? I'm not sure if I'll use the same exact placement (there is a chance--if that's cool with you), but regardless, it'll really help give me a quick general reference point. T'would be awesome and mucho appreciated if not a big deal. Too many ideas and not enough time. Any little bit at this point is a help! :thumbsuptobruddog:

1. this is really cool
2. there are too many wide open receivers

[bruddog]

Using Bad Al's Playbook Maker use the following tiles in place of 01= blank or write over other tiles if you would like. Just go to the text section in the playbook maker and manually type in the codes. Make sure to hit the update button after you are done with each graphic. You won't see the right graphics in the program but it will work right. I found it easier to to it that way than to do it in the rom itself.


Also make sure you orient the tiles vertically and not horizontally since they get mirror imaged for player 2. So
34 would become 43.

Whereas

3
4

stays as

3
4


Here are the codes for the letter and number tiles I used.

33=3
34=4

42=B
44=D
47=G
4C=L
4D=M

1. Thanks

2. Did You actually try playing against a MAN opponent? If so, what made it easy to pass. It's much easier to pass on the COM. I make no claims about the difficulty against a COM opponent. In fact, I assume it would be fairly easy.

I'm going to a friends house to play it MAN tonight...I'll let you know how it goes. I'm pretty stoked.

[bruddog]

Sweet man. I've only played 3-4 MAN games so far. It seems to level the playing field for those with less "Tecmo skill"

I'm definitely interested in getting some feedback.

[bruddog]

Shit buck. There is one bug which you'll probably notice if you don't see this in time. I didn't copy and paste correctly so a few of the pass 1 plays the defense will act wrong. I found it a few nights ago and forgot to upload.

They'll act they reverse of what they are supposed to do.

If you see this in time use this rom:  defense_hack_bugfix.zip   209.32K   64 downloads

Bruddog, by chance do you have your defensive plays drawn up somewhere? Even if you doodled them on scratch paper I'd love to see them. My group of guys is interested in trying this rom out on our next game night. And have you considered doing this with the 32 team rom?

[bruddog]

I could probably draw out the reactions...though thats not my strong point. There are multiple reactions for each defense as well.

And it IS already on the 32 team rom. There are a lot of other hacks as well. I'll have another update out by next Monday which will include more new offensive plays and slight modifications to the defensive hacks.

If there are multiple reactions for each defense don't bother as that would be too much. I'll just do some testing and put pencil to paper old school like. The rom i download was the 28 team one so I must have grabbed the wrong one. I'll go try again. Keep it up. I'm working on an NCAA rom now and might use your 3-4/4-3 rom if that's ok?

[bruddog]

Ah sorry you want to look in this thread....
