Very nice
Graphics: 8/10

The graphics in my opinion are absolutely fine...yes, they may be less detailed than many would like, but that provides a nostalgic feeling if you have ever played the original Tecmo Bowl. The graphics do not pose much of an issue through the game - they are simple, easy to play with, and are not bad-looking.
The cons about the graphics however is the constant blinking. Sometimes one of the players on a team is blinking so much he is nearly invisible, making it hard to distinguish if there is anyone in the open field about to make a tackle. Do I keep dodging and weaving or do I just go straight? Another con is some of the the teams' uniforms. I played as the Colts once, and their uniforms are just blinding. So in all honesty, the only thing you have to face when it comes to graphics are the blinking players, and the sometimes poorly contrasted colors of certain team uniforms.

Sound: 7/10

There is not much of a soundtrack in this game. However, the nice little tidbits of 8bit music whenever you accomplish or fail at something blend nicely into the game, and if you happen to turn away at a moment and hear a certain 8bit music piece going on, if you play long enough, you can recognize what just happened.
Nothing really is wrong with the music...it gets bland over a while, but this game wasn't made to have such an elaborate soundtrack like the Final Fantasy series. The music won't bother you that much anyways.

Addictiveness: 10/10

I always see myself coming back to this day after day. It is truly a fun game to play...the satisfaction of beating your opponents by 8 touchdowns, lovely! This game feels more like a game that draws you back to play more than focusing on the actual game itself...it is quite a simple game once you get the hang of it. It is a game that is truly a joy to play, and since it is modernized a bit, it provides a sort of victorious attitude...hey, you just won the Tecmo Bowl Super Bowl with the New England Patriots! "Heh, I bet they are going to win in real life now, since they are so boss" is what you might say after doing just that.

Story: 1/10

This doesn't need much explanation. Football games honestly have no story besides going through the season. Somewhat of a repetitive "story", this game shouldn't receive much credit on this category.

Depth: 9/10

As for depth, this game certainly provides some depth. It requires some strategy when playing. If you notice the other team doing the same play constantly, you would make sure to choose the same play as they did so you can get a blitz. The different type of play calls you can make sure add to the strategy part. When you are doing a pass play, and maybe one guy isn't open, who should you switch to? Should you even run it? That's up to you to decide. There is freedom when you are making out your play. You can make the running back go a different route instead of the one indicated on the play. So all in all, depth is covered well in this game.

Difficulty: 4/10

This game is not hard at all, once you get the hang of it. For newcomers, it may be a bit frustrating, but once you play enough and learn the tricks of the trade, then it will be a piece of cake and you'll be winning by 7+ touchdowns each game.
Once you do happen to "master" the game, try playing as every team, not just your favorite, or the "best" team. This will help you be a little more versatile and know the strengths and weaknesses of all teams and be able to make the most of them in any game.

Overall, this game is really fun to play. It is not one to offer much in the story line, but that isn't the point of this game. Just have a little fun and be a bit competitive!

 Love the game, wish there was the 2-point conversion feature, wish you had more run and pass plays to choose from and also somehow that penalties were part of the game.

 Why is there no Andre Ellington on Arizona?!

 Congrats DaBolB for destroying my score :)

 That was the second game. Bob was lagging me. Does it really matter to you?

boomer1709 01-09-14 - 11:49 PM
 left midgame 28-7 bob was spectator too.. and your Q no, there is usually a different blocking scheme,or the run is a different way in the slightest bit that throws off the play being sniffed out
Sidewinder 12-09-13 - 05:12 PM
 What if there is the same play twice, but with two different runners? Will the play still be stopped, regardless of the runners? It's Rice and Leach, so if I choose the play against Rice, will Leach not get blocked?
Sidewinder 11-28-13 - 04:03 PM
 No I don't, boomer.

Sidewinder 11-15-13 - 06:25 PM
 Is there anyone willing to netplay with me? If so, please send a PM, and I'll gladly play with you.
Sidewinder 11-14-13 - 02:45 PM
 I saw a list of the rankings of each team (on the tecmobowl website), and maybe you can exploit those rankings (which should be fairly accurate). And yeah, it depends on how you play and who you play as well
Lynchcats 09-24-13 - 09:26 PM
 Yeah... 500 wasn't enough...
Lynchcats 09-24-13 - 03:38 PM
 Just had a 500 yard rushing game with one of the least likely people to ever do it. Check the screenshot for who.
alcibides 09-22-13 - 09:10 AM
 Trust me Jordan, I see the positives and the negatives of every team. The problem is that there is not an accurate rating for many of these teams players on both sides of the ball. Hence, my example about Houston and Tampa Bay.
Jordanv78 09-20-13 - 02:59 PM
 Houston is great on offense, but each team has it's own strengths and weaknesses. It also depends on who you are playing against. Some defenses are pretty tough. Also sometimes you just have bad luck and turn the ball over.
alcibides 09-19-13 - 11:10 PM
 Ok - so why is Tampa Bay the offensive juggernaught when they ranked like 18th in 2012 - and the Texans, for example, who ranked 5th, are waaaay too soft offensively? Makes no sense.
Sidewinder 09-15-13 - 02:54 PM
 A good way to be accurate is to stop moving, and sometimes align yourself with your receiver too. I know what you are talking about though, it happens from time to time. But as you play on, you'll get the hang of it.
patar4097 09-11-13 - 09:19 PM
 Sometimes there is pressure, but sometimes he just randomly throws it off target. And I didn't know that it did anything, but I step up before I throw, automatically. But since you mention it, without pressure does result In better throws.
Jordanv78 09-11-13 - 06:28 PM
 I hear ya that it's frustrating, but there is a trick to learn about it and there are many things to take into consideration. Like is there pressure in the QB's face? Did you step up in the pocket? Were you hitting the Dpad? You'll get the hang of it.
patar4097 09-11-13 - 05:37 PM
 I have a receiver wide open right down the middle, but he throws it off the screen. I don't think that should happen.
MeatAndPotatoes 09-09-13 - 11:33 PM
 @patar4097... I just played as the Lions. If you have problems scoring with them, you're just not good at this game. Sorry.
