James Britton Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Do play action passes fool the computer, or do they just present an easier opportunity for the computer to sack you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keirre21 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 neither. If COM calls your play when you pick a play-action it's almost always an instant sack. COM is never really "fooled" their coverage will be consistent to whatever play they called, or if the "juice" is on they will likely cover all your receivers anyways.

TeCmO_sUpEr_BoWl Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I'd been wondering about that too. James Britton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Britton Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 So running play action (as opposed to just a regular dropback) does nothing to fool the computer? Say if the computer picked a run play and then you run play action, the computer won't switch into pass coverage mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tecmo Psycho Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 ^ Sort of. The computer has a pre-determined path, which I believe is just random. Play-action passes are pretty useless except maybe one against a MAN player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Each play has up to eight possible defensive reactions, determined by what play slot the defense called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelcsuh Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I think Tecmo ran out of time before they finished working on play-action plays. I've never found a time where they were a good choice. With default playbooks, I think it's the one reason why a COM San Diego sucks so badly.

bgboud2 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Yeah they ran out of time on playaction. Just like they ran out of time on man v man grapples. keirre21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buck Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 the game (TSB) and probably every other NES game was made for children and kids. against a kid, play action might work. I don't believe that NES TSB was supposed to be the advanced game for a grown ass man that we make it out to be. also, this dude asking all these wack questions/threads about this freaking 8 bit kids game is insane. sorry. keirre21, bgboud2 and James Britton 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natural Born Player, if Tecmo is such a "kid's game," then why are you a member of this forum with over 4,000 posts? I'm a new player and I'm trying to learn some stuff here.

bgboud2 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 It was a kids game. Some of the kids continued to play and saw ways to improve upon it.Sent from my SCH-I110 using Tapatalk 2 buck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
