buckbbuck Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 couple questions on this...Is there a patch for this?Does it work on 32 team roms? i tried and it did not seem to. I ran a season but the right teams did not go into the playoffs. the 1st team (Buffalo) was in each playoff spot except for one. is there a way to make it work?is there a way to eliminate the other wild card and go to 4 team brackets in a 32 team rom? simply the winner of each division plays the winner of the division next to them?this could be great for a 32 team college rom.

COA Elway Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 viewtopic.php?f=34&t=12191 This is an ips patch that coach bama made. It only works for the 28 team rom as of right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toostupid4lyfe Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Could whatever method that was utilized here be further used in shaving down the number of playoff teams in each conference to four? What about down to two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Could whatever method that was utilized here be further used in shaving down the number of playoff teams in each conference to four? What about down to two?Yes, the number of playoff teams can easily be the size of the original or smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toostupid4lyfe Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Yes, the number of playoff teams can easily be the size of the original or smaller.Could there be just two teams?Could the playoffs be altogether eliminated? With the latter question, I'm wondering if a hack could trigger the final championship celebration right at the completion of the final week of the regular season, eliminating the playoffs altogether. Ideally, it would depict as champions the team with the best winning percentage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucki78 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Yes, the number of playoff teams can easily be the size of the original or smaller.Would you be willing to explain to a total noob how to set the playoffs for 4 teams per conference? I have been playing roms from the early 70s and back then it was 3 division winners and only 1 wild card team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tecmonster Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 For the first time in our young league's history last night, we had MAN vs. MAN matchup in a conference championship game and the 1-seed was relegated to Player #2. Does anyone know how to flip these brackets so the 1-seed (or whoever might beat the 1-seed) has Player #1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been playing roms from the early 70s and back then it was 3 division winners and only 1 wild card team.Good question. Has anyone made an 8 team playoff bracket hack? How about a 16 team playoff bracket to cover the 82 strike season? Edited March 22, 2015 by fgqb#19nyj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBlueman Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 The NFL just threw us a curve ball today, they approved a 14-team playoff format that will start with the 2020 season. So every team except the #1 seed will get a bye. Is it possible to add this to the 32-team ROM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fgqb#19nyj Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Is a 17 game schedule even possible, too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBlueman Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I believe you can't add more weeks to the NES ROM but you can change the number of games in each week. Either way though....I think I might have been right in labeling my 2019 game a final edition. Unless the Tecmo gurus can figure something out then I don't see how the current 32-team ROM will be able to have the same schedule and playoff format as the actual NFL. C'mon TSB Ultra 2.0!!! I just wish I had the skills and know how to breathe life into reviving that project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fgqb#19nyj Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Heh. I never knew that about adding more than 16 games. I'll go ahead and try it. Well, it won't be until the 2021 season before both changes take place anyway, so there's still time for someone to figure this out I guess.

SBlueman Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Actually the changes take in effect starting with the upcoming postseason. The #1 seed will be the only team to get a bye week now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fgqb#19nyj Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 How did you get more than 16 games in a rom? I couldn't get it to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBlueman Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I beieve you can eliminate bye weeks for teams and then set the schedule up so each team plays one game a week for all 17 weeks. Problem with that is that you won't be able to have a schedule that matches the actual NFL schedule anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fgqb#19nyj Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I tried that but it didn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
