Eric Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 My favs to use are Craig Heyward, Deion Sanders, and Seth Joyner. As far as All-Time Greats I like Jim Brown, Mike Ditka, Larry Wilson, and Jack Ham.The guys that always kill me are:QB - the soft throwers - they throw those loopy passes (more like jump balls) that are nearly indefensible*QB - Jeff George and Scott Mitchell suddenly become Barry Sanders-ish when they take off whether on designed sneaks or scrambling (even performing spin moves! - as if!)RB - the niners RB's - Derrick Moore and William Floyd seem to run me over constantlyWR - Ryan Yarborough and Ray Crittenden - for some reason the D's that I play always leave them wide open on deep patternsCB - DJ Johnson - he seems to pick me off constantly, even in 1-on-1 situationsKR/PR - Rod Woodson - I always dread punting to this guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Moon Rison Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 Heyward is always fun to use. On defense, I like speedy linebackers or powerful safetys. Occassionally I'll go with a DE that's agile or has high hitting power. I hate to play against Marshall Faulk as many people know from the last forum. I used to Bills, and finished 14-2. Both losses to the Colts cuz Faulk rushed for over 200 both games. Ryan Yarborough is good, for some strange reason. His stats don't say he is, but he caught like 8 passes for 223 one time I played him in a regular season game. Must be those rainbow passes down the field.

hamburgler2682 Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 Yarborough is a stud. The funniest thing about scott mitchell being fast, is because he was so unatheletic he used to trip over turf seams. Ugh. Watching him run reminded me of the fat girl in gym class...

zendaddy Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 In TSBIII, Yarborough is a beast although it makes no sense why.Emmitt Smith and Ben Coates are my favorites to use. Both are arguably the best at their positions.Also, Robert Smith seems very tough, even though his stats aren't that great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Moon Rison Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 Barry Sanders is always great to use when you want to do five spin moves and a few jumps while dodging tacklers. He's either unstoppable (when excellent) or above-average (when bad). I like to use RB Bills (AKA Thurman Thomas) as a good receiving RB. The plays the Bills have really work well with his pass-catching ability.I find Scott Mitchell pretty annoying, too, especially when both he AND Barry can run the ball pretty well.Speaking of Yarborough, I just played a game against the Jets in which they had 150 yards passing. Guess who made all six receptions for 150 yards?My friend used to kill me running the ball with Rashaan Salaam, I don't know why or how though.

Stadawim Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 Most feared: God WoodsonFavorite to be is a little more difficult. Aeneas Williams moves great, catches great, but is stuck on a suck team.Just too hard to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkDiggyDoc Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 Fave's: Dexter, or throwing to Yarborough. 5 min Q Dex just had a 49 att game 410 yds and 6 TD. played 5 games so far outta 12 and leads the league in rushing yards and scoring.Least Faves to face: KEITH BYARS! DE BILLS! Scott Mitchell has never caused damage to my D. Unfortunately BYARS HAS 2 for 2 in the season I'm playin with the Jets. Potts too, not Faulk, Roosevelt Potts.

49er4life Posted October 3, 2002 Share Posted October 3, 2002 The ones I like to use are Safeties with good hitting power, Rod Woodson, and Barry Sanders.The ones I hate to play against are Faulk, Bettis, Heyward, Cobb and Barry Foster.

palmcd Posted October 3, 2002 Share Posted October 3, 2002 Barry Sanders has crazy mad skillzI like to let newbies have him because they can run with him and not do anything and still get big yds rushing as every one and yo mama misses tackles against him. Just plain scary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QB CHIEFS Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Best: Rod Woodsen Most feared: Cortez Kennedy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Moon Rison Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 I kinda fear the 49ers Defensive line when I play them... (if I'm thinking of the right game and not the PSX version). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowpee Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 My favorite is P. Man he is a D-linemen and he has like a 94 in Speed and he gets like 20 tackles and 17 sacks (per game) without even trying.no one ever gets passing yards on me.favorite real players: Chris er... Jim Everett and Michael Hayes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go Browns Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 Favorite player to play has to be Barry Sanders at RB, Jeff George at QB, and Eric Turner for DB. As far as the most feared to play against...BY FAR Mark Seay at WR, Neil O'Donnell at QB, Barry Sanders at RB, Deion Sanders at DB, and Reggie White at the top DE.

Chairman79 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I was a fan of Jerome Bettis. He was very quick in Tecmo Super Bowl III, not so much "the bus." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTupa Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Tracy "Simien Monkey!" and Harry Colon were always fun when my friend Ken played with themAs a Bears fan, Mark Carrier was the man in every Tecmo game. In fact, I think Dave Duerson was actually a young Mark Carrier in disguise in the first Tecmo Bowl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD1977 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I love Steve Tasker. He's good enough to start, and he is super cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slim_jimmy7 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Ken Harvey is a guy that cannot be stopped, only sometimes contained. For offense I like Ricky Watters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lettik Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I enjoy using Andre Reed, Andre Rison, Vaughn Dunbar, and Dave Meggett.I dread facing Steve Young (always can complete the pass), Lorenzo Neal, and whoever is "WR Redskins"--that guy can evade my entire DEF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 For some reason I have had a lot of trouble with the Saints in my DEF Only seasons and Mario Bates drives me nuts with his spin moves. Mario Bates is supposed to suck.I saw someone mentioned Cortez Kennedy as a most feared. After playing a season with each team I noticed that there are two defensive players that can completely take over a quarter even though controlled by COM - Reggie White and Cortez Kennedy. If they are in excellent condition and/or their matchup is favorable, they immediately shed their opponent and snuff out runs and wreak havoc on pass plays. QBs that try to roll out are dead meat have no shot and even if they stand still they have to release so fast that receivers haven't had a chance to get downfield.
