I downloaded it on live (It's 800 points, FYI), and I'm doing this post as I'm playing/messing around with everything. Just so everyone knows, I only watched the first trailer and looked at the first pictures posted, so I may state some stuff that is already well known.Started off by going into competition season mode as Buffalo and doing my first game (New England, ended up winning 38-7. Lost my second to Dallas 28-16 due to Jeffery 'Thurman Thomas' Baker being out and both QB's going into bad, which led to a pair of picks). The competition mode posts your scores onto the Xbox Live leaderboards, but you can't quit games (Counts as a 6-0 loss), can't change teams, can't view the data on other teams, and I think it's only COM mode for the single season.

There is also casual mode, which is the same as the old season mode. It has 3 seasons (Named First, Second, and Third), as well as three year mode, you can play any mode you want.Also, just like the original, you can only have one season going at a time. That is one thing I wish they had changed.One notable change is the menu is slightly different in casual season mode. The team data stuff is now under the team control section. You just go into that menu, and press Y to view/edit their players and whatnot. Annoyingly, although every player has a first name, you can't see them in this menu.

The best place to get cheats, codes, cheat codes, walkthrough, guide, FAQ, unlockables, trophies, and secrets for Tecmo Bowl Throwback for PlayStation 3 (PS3).

They are seen everywhere else (The season leader boards, the name editor page, in game), and in case they haven't said it anywhere else, the game does have a button to restore all it's fake default names, should you wish to do that. You can also edit team names, but only up to 13 characters, so you can't fit in some names (You can make fit in New York Jets, but Indianapolis can't get its name). The same also applies to player names just like it did in the original game (Ex, you can enter in 'Randall Cunningham', but the game will cut it down to 'R.

Much to my annoyance, you can't edit jersey numbers, so you have to use the original numbers (Meaning the QB's of the Kansas City and Minnesota teams are still wearing 00, while the second WR for Miami has 01, etc).Just like they said, you can switch between the new 3D and the old 2D mode during the middle of play (But not in the middle of cut scenes), so you can easily go from the new look right back to the SNES version, which still has almost all the original sound effects and everything. I did notice some of the music seemed a little different, noticably when they measured for a first down, but that may just be due to the crappy speakers on my TV, so someone may want to check that.Anyway, the switching from 3D to 2D is really nice. Takes all of a second to do, and you never lose sight of anything.

Flights like the one taken by the cannonball are symmetrical; the trip up is a mirror of the trip down. So how long will it take the cannonball to complete its entire trip? The velocity at any point on the way up has exactly the same magnitude as on the way down, but on the way down, the velocity is in the opposite direction.

The playbooks also go into retro mode, but the team data screen doesn't have it. It's always in new format, so it may seem out of place when you go to change out some players in the middle of a 2D game, but that doesn't really matter much to me. However, I'm not crazy about the player ratings chart, which I swear the stole from Madden. It's not as easy to read as the old, very familiar number chart, but it is handy when you want to swap out players, as it overlays their charts so you can see where one is better than the other.Weather is a little less obvious in the new 3D mode, I didn't even notice it was raining until the 4th quarter (Which, in retrospect, explains why Louie 'Jim Kelly' Dawson fell down a few times ).

The kick off bar blends into the screen a bit in 3D mode, but again, that may be due to my mediocre TV.One thing I just figured out was that as long as they are showing the field, you can switch between views. Somebody got hurt and I switched to 2D right as they showed him laying on the field, which shifted it to the trainers running out (They aren't there in 3D) and showed the old fashioned cut scene. Also, the mode you are in affects which halftime show you get. If you are in 3D, you get a 3D, new style one. If you are in 2D, you get one of the older ones (Clown?! However, the stats screen will always be in the new style (Which is still the exact same stats as before, but again, it may look out of place when doing a 2D game).So yeah, this thing looks like everything they promised it to be.

I'm still a bit unhappy about the the simple fact that this is the SNES rosters, which were my least favorite from all the Tecmo games, but the fact that I'll get to play against friends on Live makes up for that. The changed team colors is also a bit weird and will take some getting used to, as well as the different logos (The majority of which looked to be directly ripped from All-Pro Football 2K8 ), but hey, those are fairly minor things. What it comes down to, for me, is that it plays EXACTLY like the original. Don't waste your money on this garbage guys. I only bought it to play against people online and found out if your opponent quits the game, the game won't count. I was up 28-0 in the 4th and the guy quit and I didn't get the win and he didn't get the loss for it.

Also the online leaderboard is trash. They don't even go by Wins/Losses, they go by some lame thing called truskill rank. Really no point in getting it since you can play snes roms that are better than this shit.-furious froI was under the impression that if you quit it gave you a 6-0 loss.Does this thing just rank you on how you beat the comptuer vs. How you beat humans?BTW, good to see you around.

So technically, the ROMs on this site are better because it offers the full 32 teams. Wish some of the hackers had a say in making this.think they missed out on alot of oppurtunities. Think about it, no license could have given them free roam on an RPG type game. Create a team, maybe submit it to the server, and have it approved(to keep people from using real names etc.) and then turn people loose in online leagues(trades drafts everything). Kind of a mix of Fantasy football management with the old tecmo play. Since the game is simple technologically, even DLC(Filed types, new player models/sprites, challenges. Why they tied themselves to a semi NFL game is a mystery.

If the NFL didn't want anything to do with it, then just mak a 'VIDEO GAME' football. That's what made Tecmo Football special to me, was htat it was a video game first, then a football simulator. I'll be checking out Back Breaker for that reason. Rumor is it will have online leagues, create your own teams.more video game variety.
