Tecmo Super Bowl 2020 Presented by TecmoBowl.org

Tecmo Super Bowl is the greatest sports video game of all time. Now, 28 years after TSB made 8-Bit legends of Bo Jackson and Lawrence Taylor, TecmoBowl.org proudly announces the release of Tecmo Super Bowl 2020. This site's 13th yearly iteration updates Tecmo's NES classic with up-to-date rosters, graphics, schedules and play books for all 32 NFL squads.  Additionally, you can now check the defensive conditions of your players.

Playable on multiple platforms and operating systems via NES emulation software, Tecmo Super Bowl 2019 brings Nintendo's bone-crunching classic to today's computers and handheld devices.

Will offenses fear Aaron Donald like they feared Bruce Smith? Who is the more deadly play-caller: Aaron Rodgers or Dan Marino? Will Saquon Barkley live up to the hype? Loaded into an NES Emulator, Tecmo Super Bowl 2020 will make legends for the next 28 years.

A. How This Works
If you're new to emulation:

  • ROM = Game or Cartridge (.nes file)
  • Emulator = NES System

 

B. How To Play - PC/Mac

  • Download Nestopia for your platform and also the .nes ROM -  Windows | Mac 
  • Open Nestopia.
  • From Nestopia, File > Open and find your .nes ROM.

C. How to Play Online - Windows
Setup for online play using our guide - http://tecmobowl.org/topic/53066-guide-get-started-playing-tsb-online-for-dummies/. We then recommend starting out at the TPC - http://www.tecmoplayers.com.

Most TPC players use the original Tecmo Super Bowl ROM, but you might be able to find some people playing TSB 2016. Remember that the versions of the game must be exactly the same or you will not be able to connect.

If you’re looking for an online league, we recommend TecmoBowl.org's Online Tecmo Leagues.

D. Tecmo Super Bowl 2020 notes

  • Check Defense condition - In the same location as the time out menu there is now a "CHECK DEF" option which lets you scroll left and right through your players
  • 32-Team ROM
  • Rosters current as of 9/4/19
  • Adjustable quarter length
  • Playbook editing in-game
  • Player 2 attributes now display correctly
  • Halftime stats
  • Pass Control determines if a pass will be completed. Passing Accuracy determines if the ball will be on target.
  • Schedule reset wont' randomize order (Thursday game should always be first, Monday night last)

E. Known Issues

  • You can't edit the player names for the NFC West teams using publicly released emulators.
  • This rom may not work on some emulators. Sorry.

I'm using the same Nestopia emulator that I've been using for your roms since 2007, and it's always worked fine up until now, but this rom's not working.  Has something changed?

 

I'm able to load it in Nestopia just fine so not real sure

Is there a way to run simulations? Comp vs. Comp?

 

The same way you would in the original.

Assuming you're talking about a season game you would go under the Team Control option and then toggle by each team what you would like.

If you want just a simulated score and outcome, you would want every thing set to SKP

If you want to see the actual game being simulated by the computer, you would choose which of those teams you want with "COM"

Under schedule you have the option to choose Auto Skip by pressing A.

Without changing this you need to start each skp vs skp game one at a time.  If you choose this and change it to a week, the system will rapidly simulate games up through that week.  This is a faster way to get through SKP vs SKP games if you are only real interested in watching a COM game.

Guys I posted this question on YouTube as well. How do you get to the 2 point conversion screen in Tecmo Super Bowl 2018 and 2020 for NES? I tried to press A and B during the touchdown cut scenes but I never got a 2 point conversion or 5th down screen. Can you please be more specific?

The releases here do not feature a 2pt conversion
