Ya that's ~186 hrs of tecmo at 25 minutes a game. 
 
10 TV's= ~18  hrs
20 TV's = ~9 hrs
30 TV's = ~ 6 hrs
 
Hope you have a lot of TV's

Ya the coverage/interceptions hack does the first thing you are describing. Wat also happens more-so with CB's than safeties who get to roam the field is that if they become know as a good corner they don't get as many chances to intercept the ball because they fewer passes thrown their way. One guy might get 3 picks on 30 targets. And another guy might  get 6 picks on 80 targets. The first guy actually has a better interception rate.

 

Having a zone coverage rating...would be cool to adjust their top speed/acceleration once the ball is in the air.  What you are describing could also somewhat be described as a pursuit rating. 

This isn't a power ranking as much as a 4-year total impact. Per Josh I moved it to the main thread...

Coming from my persepctive it would have been nice if there was at least one small section about how tecmo super bowl is still "alive" online( t-borg, facebook page, leagues, hacks)  
 
But overall a good piece on the tourney. Although i dont think gats has logged 60,000 hrs as one commenter noticed

So I determined that the playoff tiebreakers used to determine the DIVISION WINNERS and WILD CARD teams  in tecmo are...
 
1. WIN%
2. point differential
3. total offensive points 
4. coin toss (50% random number check)

I erred on a VERY IMPORTANT rom question that someone asked me..what is the probability of the panty shot. I think i said 33%. Its acutally 50%. In one halftime is the final scene and in another it comes before the kiss.

This is one of the craziest parts of the story to me....
 
 
"Then, seven months later, this man wrote back to tell me he located the other Akihiko Shimoji, who was working for a phone app game development company in Okinawa.
Seriously. If a Japanese journalist was trying to hunt me down in America, do you think Bizarro Lou Raguse would care enough seven months later to still help him out? This gentleman provided me a link with an email address, and that’s how I finally reached the father of Tecmo Super Bowl."

Well this was a good year to to go for the underdog....
 
VEGAS bet results: 
Champion State Field 15:1
Repeat champ: No +600
Neither #1 or #2 seed make it out of group. ACTUAL: Over +1000 (As guessed group 23 did hit not sure if any others did )
Group runner up in elite 8 Over 1.5 +400:  Actual 3 (Flo, Kid,  Rikster) 
Goes further Mort or Lou. Mort goes further but this is nearly a push (Louis had better seed from group play and took out Chet)
Missed xtra pts ? 
Shed a tear: ?
Championship game spread -7.5 Actual  -7 
Largest beat down +/-59.5 ACTUAL: OVER 63 pts

I had a PAT blocked in my first game!  Tim Harris in my face.

Awesome interview! Thanks!
