Official Ranking the Teams in RBI Thread Thread

[JoeDirt]

But why are you so afraid to speak... on the record?

I see no reason to itemize my entire strategy on the Internets for my opponents to learn from.  Yes, I am stupid, but I have a fairly detailed scouting report on each player that I've played/seen play in the tourneys and I'd like to keep that advantage.

[TbT]

Take a hint, TBT...nobody wants to talk that trash with you.  Not even on the tecmo forums.

3 words pal....Nate Nate Nate

[JoeDirt]

Isn't that really one word three times?

[TbT]

we'll let TBG be the judge of that.

I withheld a lot of strategy stuff with that thought in mind, but I think it's interesting stuff to discuss.

shit, i wish i had a forum fulla this many original tecmo enthusiasts.  

we rarely squable about overall team rankings in tecmo.  1-12 for the most part is irrelevant.  tecmo does have more of tier type setting.  top middle bottom.  top are superior but not a day in/day out lock by any means.  it does translate that the further down the ladder you go the wins can be easier/more lopsided, but still not a lock by any means.  

the awesomest thing about tecmo is to evaluate each individual match-up in a team vs team format.  nate nate nate and i can easily talk for an hour about about various good match-ups, bad match-ups, and a slug of different strategies you can use vs the various teams.


and furthermore to add one more nuggett.  while we routinely rank NYG 1st or 2nd, and MIN, and WSH 11th and 12th...those 2 teams are probably more capable than most anyone at giving NYG huge problems on a regular basis.

Tecmo is great to play just like real football.  But just like real football, it is nowhere near as interesting to talk about as RBI/ baseball.

Are you talking about the original tecmo or super tecmo?
Must be original tecmo bc you rank Minn high. 
I would love to get into a Super Tecmo tourney.  I spent 50% of college playing that game.

[TbT]

tecmo..what is this super tecmo you speak of?

there is talk of a national tourney (TSB) in minny soda sometime early in '07.  they had one before up there, (about a year ago) but i didnt get a good read out on exactly how they played or how teams were decided. 

[Big Apple RBI Champ]

i would be up for a tecmo tourney in minn as i often get back to wisconsin (alum) and could drop in.  i play the game that has all the teams, QB Eagles is Cunningham, i think it's '91 stats.  i think you are referring to original tecmo which has cap boso unstoppable play.  please clarify which game is played in said minnehaha tourney.  thanks

[TbT]

Tecmo Super is played in the national tourney.

there is another thread about a tourney on there, but it was at an unrealistic location like cancun.  sounds great on paper(thats doesnt make any sense?) but trying to get 16 guys to cancun to play TSB and still have the best of the best playing is sketchy.

rod's shooting for minneapolis in february.  i think late march or early april would at least bring forth safer weather.

I'm in.  A college friend of mine who is from a suburb of Minneapolis would be in too- easy sell on location.  Please pm me other deets (so we don't have angry dee-nee'ers we are subjecting them to tecmo talk).  ATG?

[TbT]

ATG besides the NT lurching/diving.

[Big Apple RBI Champ]

That's the way I play- although we do allow the NT to dive at running plays but not passing plays.  If not, then the Run 4 with offset backs or split backs up the middle is a lock to gain a few yards which is not fair.  I am fine with your way though.  I can make he adjustment in practice week of.

That's how I play against the computer (I rarely get to play any TSB against a human).  Until this was mentioned, though, I was having a hard time figuring out what kind of restrictions you'd put on a Tecmo Super Bowl game.  You probably could also stop that run with a good bottom ILB (I rarely use that player, so I'm not positive), but you'd definitely have to dive if it's the offset backs formation in order to take out the fullback.

I wonder if you'd be allowed to fiddle with the playbook - that would make a big difference in what team to choose.  The Giants are, to me, the best team in the game, but they're hurt by having both a flea-flicker and a play-action pass in their playbook, since an opponent with a good top OLB basically eliminates both those plays.

[TbT]

i believe they have a few minutes to change thier playbooks. 

[Big Apple RBI Champ]

I would hope you could change your playbook.  Usually I don't change it against awful competition, but in a tourney you'd have to be able to change playbook.

My dirty little secret... I have played ten times the amount of TSB than I have played RBI.

[TbT]

DIE!

[Big Apple RBI Champ]

I went through a phase of giving back fumbles.  Also, I played that the offense can't advance a fumble (Ken Stabler rule) because sometimes a lineman will pick it up and be able to run the length of the field because you can't tackle him because he knocks you off... guy goes crazy.  It's against NFL rules.  I liken it to playing infield fly rule in RBI.  The game lets you do it (dropping ball on purpose to get multiple outs) but it's bs.  It's plain good ol' fashioned sportsmanship.

[ultimate7]

TBT does not play TSB, the rules are not his and he can really care less about it, he only plays the original Tecmo Bowl
