3. press start to forfeit draft, you will get an error message
4. restart rom Toronto and Vancouver will are drafted correctly this way

D. Tecmo Super Bowl 2014 notes
32-Team ROM Rosters current as of 9/2/13 Adjustable quarter length Playbook editing in-game Player 2 attributes now display correctly Halftime stats Passing Accuracy now works. Passing Accuracy determines if a pass will be completed. Pass Control determines if the ball will be on target Quickness now works. This will be the maximum speed of a defender if they pick up a fumble or make an interception In order to get the proper Pro Bowl players, you will need to reset the season from the Schedule menu E.

Tecmo Super Bowl for SNES

This is Tecmo Super Bowl: Gold.
 
I started working on this Legends-themed ROM back in March.  I delayed the release of this ROM for the simple fact that around the time of the originally planned debut, a glut of other "Legends" ROMs burst onto the scene as well.  So as not to (a) get lost in the shuffle or (b) take away from the spotlight of other modders, I pulled my work.
 
This delay allowed me to fine-tune this ROM into what I would consider the "gold-standard" of Legends edits (hence, the "Gold" title) previously established by my past Convergence ROMs.
 
Each team is comprised of the greatest players in franchise history, whether it's based on talent, records, or the impact they left on the team (Players like Tim Tebow and Kordell Stewart are included for the latter reasons).  In addition to the team rosters, the All-Pro rosters have been edited to contain the greatest players in the history of the National Football League.
 
I've combed over this ROM obsessively.  If there are any errors, please let me know.
 
Enjoy!

This is a little edit to get you ready for the college playoffs this year, just in time for Christmas.   I have been playing as UNC and having a great time with this ROM.   I hope everyone enjoys!
