If you haven't seen this yet, then scroll down to the keithisgood part of the forum and check it out. But for some reason it won't let me post a screenshot there. So perhaps here?

Holy shit this is tough!.  Honestly, I think I would have to see video of someone winning this to believe it.


 


1st attempt was somewhat close.

2nd attempt I won't bother sharing the box score.


 


3rd attempt - even when you out-gain them, they still find a way to crush you.  Grogan underthrowing wide open receivers for INT, fumbles, etc...

4th attempt I was actually tied 14-14 with the ball in the 4th until Grogan happened.

I'll have to try again using a different playbook.  If that doesn't work, I'll resort to lurching.

A couple things..first, "Damn." - Will Smith, Men In Black (right after he tells Edgar's wife to hire a decorater). Just in case anyone wonders what would happen to us at Madison, there you have it. Secondly, I haven't lurched since the 90's, so that's something I have in common with Tecmo Champions..and finally, thank you to whomever added the link on my post. Probably Knobbe.

Are you saying you won?!

It's kind of like golf. Sure, you can play. You might even get really good and beat all your friends. But the pros are just that much better than you and me, and they're playing an altogether different game. Don't feel bad, that dude just won Tecmo Madison (I think his best was 42-14. Check the link)..

I believe Psycho's 42-14.  You would need a bit of luck, but it can be done.  Someone claiming they won 56-0 is horse shit! LOL.  I'm all for Tecmo accomplishments, so there's no saltiness in that statement.  It's just common sense.  Even if you change both team's playbooks, lurch, etc... no way.  I can give you 100 reasons why claiming a shutout is absurd.  I would love to be proven wrong though if someone can provide a video to show that they are actually playing the computer and didn't hack any attributes.

 

ps. I still have yet to win and it's driving me nuts!

Oh, this is happening. Loving Harbaugh. But from picking up a sweet 4th and 21, tying it with a minute left, only to have Drew Hill break my heart...my game-tying KO return TD came up just 93 yards short. Bullocks! P.S. Note the pocket Jim has to throw from in pic #2! Crazy.

That's a tough one.

 

Last night I took a 21-10 lead into the 4th and lost 31-28.  My current record stands at 0 - 20 - 5 - 1.  That is, Wins - Close losses - Embarassing losses - Ties.  Tonight, I'm changing both teams playbooks and lurching.  F this.

Alright, finally.  I had to change my playbook.  More importantly, I had to change their playbook so I knew what play was coming.  Put in Harbaugh over Grogan (although Harbaugh is a piece of shit, too).  Took three games after doing this.


 


Game 1:  Took a 21-7 lead into half then Harbaugh threw the game away in the 2nd.

Game 2:  Played the defense of my life, but they found some creative ways to score, as always (Punt return, fumble return, their own fumble return, INT return).

Game 3:  Almost everything went my way.

Annnnd BOOM goes the dynamite!

I can't even tell you how many tries this took me. Changed only my playbook, no lurching. In fact, I was Scott Studwell every play. Just got really lucky. That's it for me. Winning this took everything outta me...

If all else fails, grab this guy. 1/2 ounce Jameson, 1/2 ounce peach Schnapps, half ounce sours, and a splash of soda water. It's green tea. Cheers!
