Leebo2

Hey guys it's Leebo. I was a regular many years ago, and helped build the player stats/ teams for TRB2. I haven't looked at this in a long time admittedly. My original login is lost to the void due to changing email addresses. Anyway- I've been considering doing an AAF (Alliance of American Football ROM). I am a huge fan of the league (or was) and I had season tickets to the San Antonio Commanders. I consider myself somewhat of a historian/archivist now, and have dedicated a portion of my autograph website to the AAF. It's been gnawing at me recently, but how else could I best remember the league but by creating a ROM of it? Please be patient with me but I do have a few general novice/ questions: Has ROM editing become any easier- in the last say 10 years? Do I just open up Tecmo Bowl Manager and get rolling like I used to? Can a rom be edited to 8 teams? Can I force weather on a certain date? - such as when SLC plays ORL in SLC it has to be snow or memphis it's almost always raining. Are helmets easier to customize or does it still do a mass dump? Are playbooks eaiser to edit? I'd also like to know if this laundry list of ideas is possible... Mandatory 2 point conversions No kickoffs- Ball placed at the 35 Slightly faster game play clock The last I was on here I was building a Tecmo Fiesta Bowl ROM and an Ultimate WLAF team bowl- but the kicker is that it worked on TSB Ultra. Sadly the homebrew project stopped and I was sort of stuck in the water.

I don't know if there is a download section for the music or sounds from Tecmo Bowl or TSB somewhere or it's somewhere in the archives, but if it isn't up here I can post it up. Leebo

So I was digging through one of my old drives and found an early version of TSBU. In fact the first version from what I recall had the added helmet/logo introduction and you could customize the introduction music and have a logo come up when you loaded it. I haven't been able to get my earlier version working but as this comes up once every couple of years, is somebody trying to repair or complete the project out?

Hey guys, took a 4 year break or so from the site but now I'm back. It's been a while since I've done any mod work on a file (and I am very raw,) so I have some general questions that you may have covered in that time. 1) I want to cut down the number of teams from 28 to 8. Is there a program that will allow me to do that? 2) I seem to remember there was an easier way of creating 'big' helmets than the helmet editor. Something to do with compacting images down in photoshop to simple PNG and reducing the resolution and then clipboarding it and importing it into the editor. Am I crazy? 3) Is there a small helmet editor program I can use? 4) Is there a program that will allow me to edit the intro text to the game? (As in changing the names of Lawrence Taylor, Barry Sanders, etc.) I won't ask about TSB Ultra. Thanks in advance! Lee

I built the first WLAF ROM for Ultra years ago, if you'd like to use that. In fact in some places, when you download ultra you get it packed in the directory. It has every team but Hamburg.

I was a huge football autograph collector at the same time I played Tecmo as a kid. Only recently I started following up on a lot of them sending to them TTM for autographs again. A lot of guys in Tecmo are covered there naturally since it was at the dawning of the Tecmo age. Also as a sign of respect to those great players I put up their Tecmo profiles next to their autographs. I hope to get Pat Beeeeeeeeeeaacchhh in a few weeks. Good times. leebo

No offense but: No I won't and Yes it's a horrible, horrible game.

WLAF/NFLE was just uploaded to the board today. Please keep in mind, its for TecmoBowl Ultra. I hope everybody enjoys it. Thanks Leebo

please put down the crackpipe everybody. Houston is not average. If anything it's more well balanced towards the topside. Lo White maybe a fumbler, but he's good for me if he can get 7 yards and run out of bounds. Moon, well he and Hill cant be touched, not to undercut the other receivers. On top of that Matthews and Munchie in the Oline. Come on. Thats an awesome offense. On D, Childress from the outside LB (even though he was a DT/DE), and Richard 'intercepto' johnson were all i needed. Leebo

i definitely like to do the 1 yard line pause in the original tecmo bowl, but my favorite is in the SNES version when i use that weak ass dive play for no apparent reason to score. Leebo

im still working on an NFLE/WLAF rom. This will be released for use on ULTRA when the next NFLE season begins. All of the rosters and players have been programmed and at this time I'm calibrating the teams and waiting for the final starters of the Cologne roster to be hammered out. There will be 18 teams in all including an all stars team. These teams are included on the rom: Amsterdam 95, Barcelona 97, Berlin 02, Birmingham 92, Cologne 04, England 98, Frankfurt 99, London 91, Montreal 91, NYNJ 92, Ohio 92, Orlando 91, Raleigh-Durham 91, Rhein 00, Sacramento 92, San Antonio 92, Scotish 96. Leebo

Freaking Washington is a massive cluster f__k, illegal motion penalty! Leebo

And that's my point... Three quarters of the freaking league is in Germany. Now with Scotland and Amsterdam's attendance barely hanging by a thread, who knows how long it will be before we have the Dusseldorf Admirals and the Bonn Claymores or some bs like that. Yea I think it's laaaaammmee that they can't put teams in other countries than Germany. Hell why didn't they just move Barcelona to Madrid? Why not put a team in Paris, Rome or Milan? Word was there was a movement inside the league offices to put a team back in London. (They have a love affair with London like they do with LA.) Why not that? Ah well we will never know... Go Cologne Colons! Leebo

The dragons are dead... They are now being replaced by Cologne... No word yet on the team colors or name yet... I like the Cologne Colons myself or Cologne Colone.... Word is itll be the Gladiators or the Centurions.... but hey they should just name it NFL Germany cause that's the way its going... ANYWAY.... I am almost done with my master, superduper, WLAF/NFLE ROM. It will include a team from every city, yes even Raleigh Durham 'SkyPigeons' (0-10) and Ohio Glory (1-9). At this point Im just corellating, begging and collecting data on the NY NJ Knights but I might just wait it out until the Cologne team gets figured out... Leebo

Both of them had the same stygma crap thrown at them of: "You're not a good black QB. You should be an average DB," when they came out of college. Just think of Warren Moon being a DB... Ewwwww....

Bennie Blades (s Det) also runs YCWF with his brother. leebo Steve McNair is Fantasy Football Gold this season!

doh doug williams too, but come to think of it, didnt moon and williams technically both come out in 79? cant remember if doug was 78 or 79. Yeah dougy W, who can forget his super bowl victory? Oh wait a minute i did? doh! But really wasnt that all Timmy Smith anyway? Oh yeah Jerry Gray (CB Rams) is on the defensive staff of the Bills. Bo Jackson was on MNF (last year?) talking about his joint venture with Sysco foods in one of the Dakotas. leebo

heheh... Haywood runs a place called PPZ 'Pro Play Zone' in Pearland,Tx and was the coach of a women's pro team for a year or two... Oh yeah and Warren does some spot time for his old pal Leigh Steinberg too lobbying young talent... and BTW I consider Warren Moon the first sucessful black QB, not McNabb... sorry ass Limbaugh... get your fat ass facts straight... Leebo

yeah and my boy drew hill used to play for the Rams back in da day too, but hey who cares anyway right?!? Leebo

metcalfing- the act of switching players one position to another and back. Named after Eric Metcalf. Also known as 'Detroiting'. Red Beans and Rice- doing nothing but throwing the ball downfield to your marquee receiver on every play. Named for Jerry Rice, it is possible to metcalf and rice in the same play. turd in the toilet- playing against your friend as the weakest team on his schedule. emanuel- must be sung in an accapela, at the end of the game when tossing a hail mary praying for a score. lurching- also known as, the bob nelson coat tie, crap, cheating, bullshit. the process of selecting the NT and tapping the pad to tackle quickly before the snap in order to tackle your opponent as the ball is snapped. This is legal if the gap is created by the pulling offensive linemen. suicide- blitzing with your player on every play, regarless of the open receiver running downfield. trudeaud- named for the IND QB from the original tecmo bowl and his lack of passing skills. This refers to a game in which you get stuck with a horrible QB against a friend. Tecmo Gods- Who to praise for the miraculous play or get angry at for random bullshit that destroys your perfect season. iceline- a quick pass, followed by a zingy-fast noise completed to a receiver in triple coverage. LOOOOOBBBB- Also called 'the Grogan'. That slow ass pass that hangs in the air five years before its caught. (Looks like an albatross taking off.) Bamback- The Heyward's, Fennerty's, and Mack's of the world who just beat the shit out of you. Zigzag- running up and down the screen to avoid the computer tackler. shadowing- running down field with the open reciever. spying- not to be confused with shadowing. This is accomplished by running off screen with the receiver and stopping so that the blinker shows, but you are close enough to run back to make the tackle or go for a pick. monkeyshit- consuming the clock on one long god forsaken drive. (The Saints are gods at this!) hmmm hope this covers a lot of them... Leebo
