This sucks! Multiplayer may be dead for me because of the lag.

Hmmm....maybe I'll try to join games and see if I can win ONE game with me lagging. That will be the ultimate victory.

On to the challenge.....

I was really looking forward to this game, but dang the MP does not work properly? It's a shame that paying gamers keep getting the shaft with half-cooked games.

It is becoming the norm with these gaming co's. Until some type of penalties, accountability,fines these things will continue to happen. They are taking advantage of us at this point. Plain and simple. Peace!!!

Does the singleplayer seem to run smooth? I tried the 1Q demo on XBL, but that wasn't enough to tell.

Smooth as I can't believe it's not butter.

LOL! Sounds good. I might just get this for the SP and then can play against my friend since neither of us will rage quit, but just worried about the lag.

Leonard Russell is pretty good, right?

Not really. He's not very fast and has no breakaway speed. I'm in trouble.

Well after a week of gaming and 1 season in the books the only thing that gets me is the online play lag when joining a game, hope they patch this. Also too bad they couldn't make a "juice" version so the beginning weeks would be a little harder when using a good team, all of you from tecmo repository know what I mean. Also I wish that when you switch to 2D it would be the 8 bit nintendo version, that would be nice. And I wish it was the NES tecmo super bowl rosters with Bo Jackson and buffed Okoye instead of the SNES ones. All in all still a great game for 10 bucks.

Just started with Indy, just lost to Dallas, Emmitt ran wild. Lost 23-7. 5-1 now.
Previous season 15-1 with Pittsburgh, lost to Houston in divisional 17-14.

finished up my first season and it was fun. But I'll probably never play this game again. It was a good game for what it is, but I have no passion to go thru 16 games plus playoffs.

One thing i did do is put madden back in and play in broadcast cam, which makes it look like tecmo. really started to enjoy madden again in that camera mode. give it a try. Just was hard using tecmo A/B button controls for madden

Houston is too good in the playoffs. I barely escaped against them. In reality, the playoffs are just crazy difficult. The CPU completes passes against full double and triple coverage.

Never understood why another football game didn't use the Tecmo/Broadcast view. I really enjoy that view/perspective.

Yes. If Madden could implement it the way Tecmo does, Madden football would be sexy.

Wasn't it Madden waaaay back in the day that first did away with the side view?

I think everyone has copied it since.

And, wow, no patch - not even for the lag issues? Yep, no buying for me. That sealed it.

Yeah, no patch. I hope everyone tweets TecmoGames to let them know your thoughts on it.

Good question about the side view. What was the football game on 3D0? It wasn't Madden was it? That's the first 3D game of football I remember playing myself. Could be bad memory. My internal ROM chips are faulty.

Tonight, I discovered that this game is exponentially better in 2D while under the influence of a certain leafy green substance that may or may not be legally available in your area. I have a feeling I'll be blazing through this competitive season.

I drink tea all the time. I'm pretty sure it's legally available in all of the continental states.

I've played the 2D game for years in there on my NES, but for some reason, I just can't stand it on the 360. I think the size of the television is the main culprit as it's a 65" in the living room versus the 27" in the bedroom where I've played Tecmo Super Bowl here and there. The 3D/360 graphics are superbly better on the living room television. Otherwise, I have 2 inch pixels, which are too blocky to enjoy.
