Hi everyone,
I would like to create a version of tsb where the coverage and juice level is the same over the entire season, regardless of wins or losses, and where the gameplay is more dependent upon player attributes rather than the juice level. I guess what I am trying to achieve with gameplay is something similar to the original tsb for sega but more challenging and more realistic. I want to get away from having a CPU player with 25 max speed running like a track star later in the season leaving a user player with a much higher max speed in the dust. I also want to be able to run the ball later in the season without having the CPU defense in the backfield as soon as the ball is snapped. I have been tweaking the juice levels with my hex editor but I am having trouble getting it right. Has anybody tried to do this?

Hi,
The correct acronym for Tecmo Super Bowl is tsb!

this picture shows the default "juice values" for TSB. (in HEX, a "1" will be "01", etc)

If you want a COM 25MS RB to run at 25MS, then you would need to set the Offensive Speed Juice to "00".
if you would like the (lack of) juice to be the same the entire season, then set all the juice values to be the same.

there is another factor that kicks in at some point in the season - what I call COM "Mojo" - this makes COM defense tougher = more WRs covered and more aggressive Run stopping. I will have to look into how to stop that from happening.

Thanks Buck, the "mojo" was another question I had. I was wondering where the location of that was in the NES version of tsb. The chart you provided will be a big help.

has anyone made a rom with random com juice levels through a season so it kind of correlates to the ebb and flow of a regular season?

I changed 0x28b44 and 0x28b45 both to ea and the CPU coverage seemed better in preseason but the game froze. Anybody else have that experience? I should mention that I tried to edit this with a hex editor. Should I have tried to edit it with another program instead? I've got some programming experience but I'm still a noob at some of this.

I figured out my mistake. The max coverage works great.

Is it possible to have the juice and coverage levels change based on which team you were playing against?

Is it possible to have the juice and coverage levels change based on which team you were playing against?

my first and best idea: rate the good teams good and the bad teams bad

varying juice *might* be possible. but the "coverage level" (or what I call "COM mojo" - because they not only cover better, but they defend run better, too) is either on or off (the way it works now), and it really just changes a variable that's embedded in each defenses play design.

there's also jstout's "ultralogic" - it's "team based" - but it's all about the cpu picking your play.

Awesome find buck. Thanks for the chart!
