Tecmo Bowl Throwback players may have noticed you can ragequit a 38-0 beating scot-free, no forfeit, no loss, no nothing. Tecmo is said to be working on a fix for this.
Phil Villareal, a writer for the Arizona Daily Star and a contributor to Consumerist felt he should be 6-2, not 1-2, record, because his Tecmo skills were so good heād gotten five punks to tap out. Unfortunately, itās as if those games never existed.
He wrote Tecmo to ask whatās up, and was told by a producer:
Weāre working on pushing a title update to fix the issue with online matches. Hopefully itāll be out by next week.
Having played it, I agree with Phil that having to use the pre-set playbooks (rather than custom ones) online is an inconvenience, but itās also true to life. I donāt remember custom playbooks being saved outside of season mode on the old NES version of the game, but then, Iāve been playing on ROMs for a decade so I could be wrong.
Of course, I also didnāt remember that the B button allows you to take a touchback in the endzone. Thatās partly because I never read the instruction manual 17 years ago. Thanks to everyone reminding me of this on Twitter.
