TheFes75 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 (edited) Was talking with a friend the other day and before we knew what any of the player attributes were for the original Tecmo Bowl, we would try and figure out who was faster. Of course you could use the stats that the game provided and it gave you an good indication of the faster players, but no a true indication. Another way was just the eye and feel test. If he looked faster and moved faster then that was probably so. The other way we tested to see the speed was to score a touchdown and as soon as you crossed the goal line, start running the other way, the further you get away from the goal line the faster the player. We actually did this for every team and every offensive player to "rank" them. Little did we know that there were attributes that make players faster from the get go vs after say 3 yards. Anyways just a stroll down memory lane, before the game was vetted out down to the tiniest detail.

Tecmo-Mad-Brad Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 The initial and acceleration ratings really are key. My buddy will look at players top speed and ask why I rarely use "player X", because hes got good speed? Its often because a bad initial or bad accel rating really negates his top speed in key situations. TheFes75 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
