biw314 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Traditionally, QBs are tough to take down once you are grappling them. It feels like they have high hitting power but a quick check shows that most if not all QBs have a HP of 13. Is that attribute meaningless when the QB is behind the line of scrimmage or something?

BO FB Offtackle Left Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Traditionally, QBs are tough to take down once you are grappling them.

Is that attribute meaningless when the QB is behind the line of scrimmage or something?If you're talking MAN vs MAN on original rom, then HP is always meaningless, it's all about tapping. Against CPU it works the same as any other grapple. A 63hp defender will popcorn a 13hp QB. The QB gets no boost behind the LOS that I am aware of.

TecmoTurd Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 I have to agree with BO FB Offtackle Left, I haven't seen the situation you are describing...QB's always get taken down... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COA Elway Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Even in COA mode, the QB's don't go down easily. No tapping involved there. [ Post made on a Tecmo Super Mobile Device!] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ Post made on a Tecmo Super Mobile Device!] It happens on TSB3 also. Not every game, but when it does it only happens once or twice during that game.

It would seem to me that if only tapping mattered, then Okoye would be no tougher to bring down than Dave Meggett. Can that be true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitting Power will only help Okoye against COM drones that have 44 or less HP - because he will buck them. Against a MAN controlled defender, HP is meaningless, like BO said.

biw314 Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 Thanks for the responses. This seems to be consistent with my experience that QB seems to be strong against MAN controlled players. It's not that he's strong, it's that he is equal. Thanks again.

It seems as if when I play the Lions, when Rodney Peete does his bootleg, I get thrown off of him pretty easy. QB Eagles does this as well. If you don't dive at him right away, he breaks the tackle.

hurricane55 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 If i remeber right, the code has a cpu check in the string, and i think it is a hp boost on qb's for pass plays. haven't looked at the original code in a while, me and dh have removed it from our tsb 3 edit. i think on the original consoles, hp had a little factor in man vs man, becasue it was always harder to tap out of tackles with lesser players. This is coming from a 9.6 100 m track and field tapper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
