Dude has SF/Boston tied for 11th all time. Does not really seem to know what he is talking about.
Giants are not top 2. Det most dominant team on rom not named all-stars.
Utah was not the baddest squad in bases loaded...Jersey was. they had the most retarded murderers row. Seem to remember Hawaii was pretty stacked as well.
Blades of steel from what i remember had no differences in player attributes from team to team. gee, nice pick butt hole.
Tecmo SB lions? I doubt they are even considered a top 5-7 team in most "experts" circles. I dont play TSB, but i do know of at least 5 teams better than detroit without putting much thought into it.
I'll throw my 0.02 in and mention the Japan version of Tecmo Bowl (1990) SF 49ers. This units offense is much improved over the 1989 american version of SF.
And just for the fuck of it has a defense on par with, if not better than NYG's LT/Banks combo. That SF squad is down right unfair to the rest of the game.
Will Clark was the best hitter in RBI?
He's an idiot. He couldn't beat the CPU in Bill Walsh against FSU? Clemens and Clark, I think he played each game once

I played some tecmo this weekend, and I had forgotten how bigger running backs in that game could break the Giants tackles. Quite disappointing....
You could go 81-1 with any team on NHL 2002.

By bigger do you mean Mack, Bo, and Walker? They can't break tackles against human defenders. Unless those humans have big fat slow thumbs.
I was just thinking that, you sure you also pressing the buttons Reds? Or is that a "hit the buttons to run faster" myth in Tecmo?
OK I signed up to set the SF record straight. I think if he listed Boston alone it's debatable but you can still see it. San Fran on the other hand can't compare. Does anyone consider them a top3 team in any format? Maybe one or two folks would put them 3rd in anything goes...

I dunno. Anytime I'm in a one on one situation where I got a guy wrapped up with LT or Banks they can never take the guy down and get thrown. I suppose I have big fat slow thumbs.

I went ahead and signed up as well.
Your comment may have been a tad nicer than mine.
so fiery
I think Philly was the best team on Bases Loaded. Jersey had Paste and Bay -- Past of the .467 average (or something crazy like that ) but he wasn't as good as his stats indicated.
Philly had solid hitters, good power, and a good pitching staff.

Paste also had 60 homers, I think, but he could be neutralized - he was one of the guys who would charge the mound and get ejected if you hit him.

Easily better than the Lions:
Giants (assuming you can change the playbook)
49ers
Bills
Chiefs
Bears
Eagles
Arguably better:
Vikings (awesome defense, poor offense)
Raiders (best defenders in inconvenient spots)
Bengals
Chargers
Oilers
Barry was awesome, but the QB and receivers were mediocre, and the defense was only decent (fast LOLB with no hitting power, above-average SS, one above-average ILB, good NT). Also, Barry wasn't even the best RB in the game - Bo was faster, and I think he even had more hitting power.
Also, his analysis of Griffey is way off - Junior did not hit a homer every time up, and I don't know that he was even any better than Barry Bonds (or whatever the guy's fake name was) in that game.
i think every single last one of these is fucking stupid.
i saw blades of steel and closed the link

I completely disagree, Paste was a fkn hammer. If you didn't hit him, he's going deep every game...
I hate lists like these, they are the list equivalent of Family Guy. Rather than putting thought into it, I think he just picked 25 sports games he liked and named random teams, so people could read the list and say "OH I REMEMBER KEN GRIFFEY BASEBALL ON SNES DSLFHLSDFUOSDFSDOIFSDFS!!!!!"
I read his previous list, and he claims that the one game he lost as the Red Wings was because his girlfriend came over and he had to simulate. First of all, I call shenanigans and bet anything that this guy is a virgin. Secondly, it's called TURN OFF THE PLAYSTATION. No cosmic force is mandating that you simulate to finish, just turn it off and start over again.
This reminds me of that thread that I made about Larry King making up a story about Bob Gibson just so he'd have something to say on the baseball documentary that he was puzzlingly interviewed for.
EDIT: Just saw attabobble's comment..AWESOME...good to see we are on the same exact page. i heart that.

This is a rating system used over at Tecmo Players Circuit. It is based on ratings in TSBmanager.

This link explains the whole system and how it works.

How does that pt ADJ work? I guarantee I can be competitive with Phx (assuming playbook changes) against all but the top few teams.

Yes indeed. I agree look at which team I've used the most on rom. Playbook change is allowed. You can use even team roms also which is not factored on the point system.

13 con/882 pow
On the TSB ratings, I am surprised that Houston is so high and Atlanta and Phoenix are so low. I wholeheartedly agree with the bottom three - they're easily the worst, and the teams I pick when I want a challenge. I think NE is better than Seattle - they at least have a couple of good defensive players (Agnew, Lippett, maybe Tippett if he's in good or better condition).

Oilers have a sick offense. It is impossible to constantly stop them as CC's and JJ's happen all the time. They also have one of the best DB's in the game Dick Dick who covers the whole field.

19th in contact (tied with Walling), 25th in power (tied with Lemon).

What are CCs and JJs?
Johnson's good, but it's not like he's Rod Woodson or anything. Plus, I like to use LBs rather than DBs, and their LBs (except Childress, who is in the least convenient LB spot) are absolutely horrible.
Fkn Childress gets the shit kicked out of him, the bottom LB gets blown up more often than not.

CC=Covered Catches
JJ=Jumping Jackass
I find that Cleveland consistently pulls off the most of those annoying covered catches, with the Rams being close behind. I haven't noticed it as much with Houston, but maybe it happens more in Man vs. Man games - I usually play the computer.
The "jumping jackass" I assume is when the receiver is covered on a fly pattern but makes the leaping catch on the overthrown ball. Moon has really high passing speed... I usually think of that as a bad thing for those plays (Dave Kreig, with the worst passing speed in the game, has always been really good at those for me), but I could be wrong about that.

Kreig is a beast with that slow PS. I have my own league/site you should check out one day. I run a sweet league with stat extractor and player performance gains etc.

I rarely homered with him. He'd hit the ball hard. The guys who's stance was similar to Bay's were always money. . .. kind of an upright stance with a slight bend at the knee. Agua for Utah had this same stance.
Freida had the "paste" stance and was a masher.
Baker for Kansas was no joke either. They had nice pitching too.
I agree with the dude's assessment of SF and BO in RBI.
He's way off the mark with the Lions in TSB...their defense sucks. I have ran that rom many times, and they do not win consistently.

OK, you agree they are the 2 best teams, I don't think that in and of itself is that strange. But do you really believe that they are dominant over the other teams in the game?
