The top receiver will always do more JJs. Hence the discrepancy btw Slaughter and Langhorne.

Tim Green is also the color man now on Battle Bots, taking over for Sean Salisbury after he went over to ESPN.

The formula for getting Walsh in excellent is to run the ball with Fenerty, Mayes, and Hilliard on their sweep play behind Heyward. When I do nothing but run the ball and throw the occasional pass Walsh never takes a hit for most of the season and can usually carry the team in excellent condition down the playoff stretch.

I think the number on his head (indicating that either the player or the computer is controlling him personally) will make a player faster. Or at least it always seems like the computer's player is the one with the best shot of running you down on a big run and his player is always going to be the farside DE.

Just won the super bowl again with the Saints after feeling the old urges coming back due to this thread. Simmed through to the first meeting with the 9ers, whipped them, whipped them again in the last game of the season for the division title then outlasted them 30-27 in a great shootout, then pasted Miami 42-0 in the super bowl. I ran the ball so much during the regular season that Steve Walsh was in excellent through the playoffs and played out of his mind. Fennerty and Hilliard were team co-MVPs. Both had 100 yds rushing in the super bowl and Fennerty of course led the league in every kick returning category.

God Gil Fenerty

Fenerty is God and even if he gets hurt Mayes is just as good.

I really like the 5 wide receiver sets. Some of the other logic could use some work, such as pass protection in a 2 TE set, but overall I think it's a quality achievement.

Gil Fenerty = The Ultimate Weapon

Though I hear a lot of people saying it is random, it appears as though you are on to something here... It shouldn't complicate anything Nameless, because that is a random change in PC, I think what we are both after is a controlled change. I tried this experiment to see if changes always occur at halftime. I was Cleveland, as usual, against the Jets and I had a 1st and 10 from my NY's 40 with :03 seconds on the clock before halftime. QB Browns was in excellent PC. Here is the pattern I tried using the save state: Throw TD - QB Browns stayed at excellent 10 out of 10 times THrow completion(no TD) - QB Browns stayed Excellent 8 out of 10 Throw incompletion - QB Browns stayed excellent 5 out of 10 Throw INT - QB Browns stayed excellent 2 out of 3 Sacked - QB Browns stayed excellent 3 out of 10 QB Run for TD - QB Browns stayed excellent 10 out 0f 10 QB run for first down - QB Browns stayed excellent 10 out 0f 10 QB run short of 1st down - QB Browns stayed excellent 6 out of 10 FG - QB Browns stayed excellent 8 out of 10 Pagel Throw TD - QB Browns stayed at excellent 1 out of 10 times Pagel Throw completion(no TD) - QB Browns stayed Excellent 10 out of 10 Pagel Throw incompletion - QB Browns stayed excellent 6 out of 10 Pagel Throw INT - QB Browns stayed excellent 2 out of 10 Pagel Sacked - QB Browns stayed excellent 5 out of 10 Pagel QB Run for TD - QB Browns stayed excellent 4 out 0f 10 Pagel QB run for first down - QB Browns stayed excellent 9 out 0f 10 Pagel QB run short of 1st down - QB Browns stayed excellent 3 out of 10 Pagel FG - QB Browns stayed excellent 4 out of 10 If there is a pattern it is that the starting QB stays at excellent when completing or running for the TD and does poorly if the backup is brought in and he does well. Conversely it seems the starter stays excellent if the backup fails. Now that I think about it this test is worthless because QB Browns was excellent and a pattern of raised PC cannot be calculated from my test. Shit...Screw it... ...I'm going camping.

Rushing, receiving, everything. Their receivers stink, Hilliard and Heyward only work for you the first half of the season, after that, you have to find creative ways to get points.

NO and Pitt both have strong return games though. Fenerty is always my leading scorer for NO.

Just tried it and it didn't work. May depend on the emulator.

Anyone interested in playing the 1AA version of the rose bowl hack?

It's very easy to make the computer miss by applying pressure on the kicker. I assume it works the same way when you're kicking (if you are willing to wait long enough that is.)

next time just reset before he scores.

Thank god some one mentioned the incredible Ruben Mayes. He and Gil Freakin' Fenerty are the best special teams weapons in the game and they're both on the same team. I think Mayes might be slightly better, but for some reason both of them are really fast on kick off returns. Without those two, Morten Anderson, and Barnhardt, the Saints would be absolutely moribund. When I play with them the special teams and defense outplay the offense on the regular basis and often put up more points.

At least it HAD music. The sequels are deathly silent. I'll never understand how the rosters can be better. Not to mention the 8-bit music, lack of plays to substitute, and endless flickering. I've never played the Genesis versions, but I'm sure they probably improved a little bit on those aspects seeing other TSB games.

Uncalled for, 49er. You yourself called Irvin "cocaine maker." You can't have it both ways.

He may be good, but your only hope with the Saints is to run the Wing T and rely on Fennerty and Barnhard to get you field position. I have to say with their defense and ST they are the best FP team in the game FWIW.

Yeah I made the change at midseason due to an injury and he hit a home run on his very first return.

Saints have a fantastic linebacker group and Gil Fennerty is a monster returning kicks (so is Reuben Brown for that matter.) The passing game is terrible, but if you spread the ball around with the backs you can move it in bits and pieces. The wideouts are useless. The running game falls off a cliff after the first part of the year. Dalton Hilliard did nothing for me after the very first game. Still, the Saints match up well with the 49ers defensively, which is good because you can plan on playing them 3 times if you want to go to the Super Bowl. Your best hope with the Saints is to rely on defense and special teams, but they are excellent in both areas. The return team will get you field position every time and Anderson can make sure you get points. Barnhard is one of the game's better kickers and Fennerty might be the most underrated player in the game.

I've gotten Proehl to jump just fine. I think Rosenbach is underrated, I like rolling out and scrambling with him.
