Not from my experience playing this game. Hesitant to post a score until the glitch ruling.

ken o brien is worse than rypien as well
 

i take all of this back Mark Rypien may very well be the worst QB 
 


lmao

Great score there Gutsman !!





Thanks! I don't know how many games I've played since thursday evening,but it's a lot. As far as what has helped me....

I kick the ball deep almost every time. Forget onside kicks...too random. I only try them near the end of the 2nd and 4th quarters.

I only use Darrell Green on defense and usually play the run. Fastest guy on the team. He may not intercept the ball much,but he can run down Thomas or whoever he needs to.

I throw to Ricky Sanders 99% of the time. He just seems to catch more passes thrown at him than any other receiver.Plus if he is overthrown a little bit often he'll go up and get it.

99% of the time if I pass,it's play # 2. Ricky Sanders goes deep on this play and I've by far had more success with this pass play than any other.

I always pick a pass play on defense and 99% of the time it's either pass play 3 or 4. If you guess either one right when you have your opponent pinned deep near their own goal line,there's a good chance you'll get a safety. Or if they are on your side of the field a couple of those busted plays can result in a missed field goal or even taking them out of field goal range.

Hate that! I had one game where I intercepted it and was in the process of trying to run it back then I fumble and the computer almost run it back on me. That or I force a fumble deep in their own territory which if one of my players picks it up it's probably a TD,but Thurman Thomas or someone else really fast picks it up and runs for 20-30 yards.

I updated my score...almost hit 500 yards passing with Rypien. Even then I only scored 56 points.

I'm still around. I just haven't had much time to play lately. I was hoping to give it a shot this week, but I didn't get a chance. Looks like there are some really good scores already. Good job everybody!

This week was my first time ever playing this game.  I don't like football video games at all but I actually started to enjoy playing this.  This was my best after abour 8 tries.  This game featured 2 safeties and me getting killed on defense on run plays!

I've broken the 70s a few times with the Bengals, but I don't think I've ever played as the Redskins. I may try to post something later if I get a chance, but I wouldn't count on it being too awesome.

Still waiting to hear anything from Sonik about his 97 score and the use of the nose tackling glitch.

I've never played a Tecmo football game on the NES before this week so I'm OK with this. It's the first time I won a game all week, I've been limited to time as is by life matters, so I'm fine with this as a participation point score.

I'd like to be able to try to beat this but we've been without power since around 4:30 and I doubt it will be coming on anytime soon. I could emulate on my laptop but I don't know how much juice it has left plus I like to play these on the console when I have the carts,so your score is safe from me.

his score of 65 was obviously glitched as well, just was his first try, and if he hasnt replied all week or posted a new score i make a motion to disqualify both scores

I have not played this game in many years and even back then I never really figured it out. Why would a team decide to run up the middle on a 3rd and long is beyond me, but it seems to work for a 70 yard touchdown run. Hopefully I have better luck on the next game.

Pretty abysmal but here is my score from earlier in the week:

7



(disappointing thing was I managed a 28 - 7 win on my handheld emulator but wasn't anywhere near fast enough to get a picture!)

First time I played this game, and I had fun with it. For most of the week I thought that I would never improve my play, but Yesterday I finally felt that I was getting the hang of it.

Hey guys, sorry the scoreboard on the front page was left blank, I just got really swamped with other stuff this week and kept forgetting to update it. Looks like it was a fun contest. Onto the swamps of Bayou Billy!
