Hello Everyone

 

About three months ago, I contacted Baron von Lector about updating his Tecmo Super Bowl-GOLD from 7 years ago as of this date.  To me, it is the most brilliant version of the game since I started playing it back in 1991.

 

Mr. Baron then posted that he would make some 7-year updates that were necessary based on today's NFL for the greats of the game.

 

Let me post my own "updated" version to what Mr. Baron created seven years ago.

 

My version is NOT a greatest list of players in franchise history, BUT a list of those since 1960.

 

Why do you ask since 1960?  

 

1)  The AFL started in 1960, thus allowing those classic AFL teams to have equal balance with the NFL teams in terms of history.

2)  The passing game started to REALISTICALLY develop in the 1960s (outside of the 1978 rule change with receivers and DBs).

3)  The AFL helped to integrate professional American football.  They needed players to grow the league, so they were more open to players of color, and then the NFL had to be more open to be able to compete.

 

My version of this original genius version ONLY has players where the bulk of their careers were in the 1960s until present (2024 at the time this is written).

 

That means that Slingin' Sammy Baugh, Sid Luckman, Hutson, Norm Van Brocklin, Otto Graham, Chuck Bednirik, Jim Thorpe, and many others have been removed for players that had the bulk of their careers from 1960 until present.

 

I also removed some "gimmick" players like Tim Tebow and Kordell Stewart from the rosters.  They are certainly fun, but Tebow had very little football impact outside of being a novelty, and Stewart is the third best Steelers QB in the franchise history, which leaves him out for Rothliesberger and Bradshaw.

 

And because the Texans only have 22 years of history, I allowed rookies (now in their second year as of this being written) to be added that look like sure stars in C.J. Stroud and Will Anderson.

 

I also bumped up the ratings of the players to take advantage of some maximums that might apply.

 

Make no mistake that at my fun leisure, I did some HEAVY research into EVERY player on this version of the game in terms of their abilities, and I used the TSBToolSupreme to edit properly.

 

There was some REAL homework involved with every player, and EVERY player already existing was updated!!!!

 

Please have some fun with this if you can.

 

Best

That sounds awesome!  Three questions:  1. will this come out in cartridge down the line?  Because I only play old school and honestly haven’t figured out any other way to play.  2. Are the special moves (spin, popcorn, rushing punter, change sides) still included?  And 3.  Regarding players upgrading:  was Fouts upgraded (he should be as good as Marino levels and be the Chargers Starter), is JACKSON the Ravens QB (Flacco’s reign needs to end), and was Aaron Donald added?  One of the best ever on D line I think would take Youngbloods place - unless you add a 4-3 defense option which would also be an epic upgrade feature.



I love what you guys are doing and also agree the Gold cartridge from 2016 IS the greatest upgrade ever, all time!!!

I do not make cartridges.  This is my edited version personally based on Baron’s initial version.

 

I have the original game on cartridge, however, I downloaded an Emulator from THIS website to play on my PC.  That is now how I am playing the game.

 

As for the changes, I did them all, however, Phillip Rivers, in my opinion, is still a starter over the great Dan Fouts, who was actually my favorite QB as a kid!  Unfortunately, Rivers is better QB by most experts that have witnessed both.

I've updated TSB gold a few times over the years staying true to the OG rom w/ ratings - if anyone wants it on a cartridge (or other TSB carts) lmk
