Yeah, I think it started when knobbe got all that attention for his "official repository" release. More and more old fans came to check it out - and of course they like the original style. Which is good, but not good for more competitive ratings styles. Ah well... just rate whatever kind of rom you like, because if you don't like it, you won't enjoy it.

Seriously dude, I'm not making fun of you as a person or attacking you. It's too bad you have to construe it like that... I never said I'm better than anyone in this thread. I guess some people will never change and keep their grudges.

Is this guy still around? His roms were pretty fun.

Damn, he never took me up... It's funny reading this now that I don't really care about tecmo as much as I used to; I was such an asshole. And yeah, the roms are somewhat extreme, but I guess they were fun for the time. Since this thread, SBlueman and I have kissed and made up, I've quit every tecmo league I was in, and I've graduated college. Days of our tecmo... I still think it's funny I was unmodded! Bygones, <3 knobbe.

This is a fun game of tecmo...

I'm not the one calling names or being racist. I'm only trying to help you. For being such a god-fearing christian, you're a pretty hateful person.

Racism is so funny! Also, I'm saying Devin Hester is amazing because 44 rec is actually serviceable. With most 44pc+ QBs, it's hard to drop passes with anything more than 19 rec. Note Sam Graddy on the original NES rom... 63ms, 19re... and he's STILL overpowered, especially when he did nothing that year in the NFL and was just a KR/PR. Like bruddog said, there are better ways of implementing KR and PR speed... I sat down and played around with this rom for a few minutes with Reggie Bush as my KR, running circles around the Chicago kickoff team (their defense fyi, supposedly one the best in the NFL last year so I heard). That's just plain ridiculous. The rom is not good. It's not nearly as bad as your first effort with a near direct translation of madden ratings... but it's still not good. Learn to take criticism; it's just a video game. Taking criticism into account and making things better is a trait that most successful people have.

Right, but the game is different now than it was then. I mean, the ratings make sense comparatively, I would probably just drop them all a notch or something.

fyi, I didn't know Joey Harrington was a fast qb. But then again, I didn't know Mcnabb, Jeff Garcia, Drew Brees, or Alex Smith were either.

I returned a PR for a TD once in online man vs man play... vs lovely edgefan.

A bit too fast, even for the original. There were only a few 50ms backs, remember.

I don't consider it fine when I can run for 1000 yards with Vince Young (while maintaining +100 qb rating), receive for 2000 yards with Devin Hester, and run for 3000 with Reggie Bush... man vs man season. Whatever. Ah, my 2000th post.

100% agreed. MS =/= real life speed for tecmo. I mean, at least try to put together your own ratings scheme... I guarantee you, you'll find it a lot more fun and a lot more effective than extrapolating tecmo ratings from madden.

no... only roms that make no sense. im sorry if you dont like constructive criticism from someone that actually knows what they're doing - or even tomtupa's constructive criticism (sorry tomtupa, not to say you dont know what you're doing, just trying to stress that d4god is being a crybaby). if you dont think 75ms makes devin hester one of the best wrs on the rom, then you really know nothing about this game. did you know that a qb with 69 or better PS can throw to a wr with 63 or higher MS on a fly pattern, and even covered, the wr can still beat the defender? THAT'S why high MS makes a player overpowered. Here's my team of nonsensical all-stars: QB1 - Vince Young (sry not top 5 best qbs in the NFL by a long shot) QB2 - Jamarcus Russell RB1 - Reggie Bush RB2 - Edgerrin James RB3 - Carnell Williams RB4 - Adrian Peterson WR1 - Devery Henderson WR2 - Devin Hester WR3 - Ted Ginn Jr. WR4 - Josh Cribbs (I don't even know who this is, and he has 69 MS) TE1 - Doesn't matter, all TEs suck for the most part, so I would just put more ridiculously fast-for-no-reason WRs here TE2 - See above OL - Doesn't matter, the strongest DL is 75 HP, and that (for some odd reason), doesn't break through 50 HP consistently. DL - Doesn't matter, see above, also why are they all so fast? LB1 - Ian Gold LB2 - DJ Williams (Alright, I'm a Denver fan and flattered, but why are these guys 2 of the best LBs in the NFL? Better than Brian Urlacher? What?!) LB3 - Derrick Johnson (WHAT?!) LB4 - Demarcus Ware (lka;sddjf;lkajf;laksjdf) Backup: AJ Hawk NOTE: All of the above linebackers are rated better than BOTH Brian Urlacher and Lance Briggs. That is ridiculous. DB1: Jonathan Joseph DB2: Tye Hill DB3: Fabian Washington DB4: Bob Sanders (75 Int, are you fucking serious?) K: who cares P: who cares Seriously, look at all the players above... I could smoke mostly anyone, any day with that squad; the point being, I SHOULDNT BE ABLE TO. That's just outrageous. Also, I really didn't know that the Titans were one of the best teams in the NFL. I've rated plenty of bad and good roms in my day, so I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about, kefkawhatever.

sorry dude, devin hester isn't one of the best WRs in the NFL... and reggie bush isn't the best rb in the league either (whoops, sorry, 2nd best by a very little bit).

This rom is pretty bad, but not even close to as bad as your rom where you could recover every onsides kick. Most of the ratings make no sense. I could field a team of NFL nobodies and beat a team with NFL allstars on this rom.

also lol @ brady quinn and russell ratings.

Is TSBTool better than TSBM? I haven't rated a rom in a while, and I'm wondering if there's a way I can input a spreadsheet directly into TSBTool, rather than manual entry into TSBM (painstakingly long and error ridden).

Bruddog - Can you apply the new hack we were discussing to the 32 team rom? Ed - Are you putting together something like tecmophile for the 32 team rom? Everyone else - I'm going to start rating a new rom and will restart my league once it's ready. It'll be something you have never seen before

Vick and Young should be 38 pc at the very best. Young: 31ms, 50ps, 31pc Vick: 38ms, 44ps, 38pc Rating qb PS on arm-strength makes no sense. PS makes qbs more effective in tecmo, but not in real life, so why oh why?! Vince Young was one of the worst passers in the NFL last season. Vick was ok, but didn't pass terribly often... and also 44ms is just unreal in tecmo for QBs. I can fucking wreck anyone with a 44ms 31ps 25pc qb.

worst analogy ever.

Cool. What's up with the graphics problems in the team data screen? Are those easily remedied?

DL on the original rom is almost worthless. Even Bruce Smith only breaks through 1/4 or 1/3 of the OLmen.

1. QB Eagles 2. Bo Jackson 3. Barry Sanders 4. Joe Montana 5. Warren Moon 6. Dan Marino 7. QB Bills 8. QB Browns 9. Neal Anderson 10. Thurman Thomas
