Talk:Tecmo Super Bowl

message: I can somewhat see adding the "Miscellaneous info" tag to the "Trivia" and "Errors, Errata, Omissions" sections; however, I don't think adding those sections detracts from the article at all. Indeed it adds some depth, in my opinion, to understanding the differences between the video game and the actual real-life game of the NFL. I think those sections also help to differentiate the game from Madden NFL, for example, as well. Tecmo Super Bowl didn't attempt to be an exact simulation of the NFL. It's more of an "arcade" game and I believe those sections help bring that to light.
I guess if you were to remove anything, it may be some of the player related errors, but I found those to be pretty interesting.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cruxader (talk • contribs) 15:45, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: "Miscellaneous info" tags?

message: I don't want to ANY see references to the SNES version outside of the 'sequels' box. This is NOT the SNES version, so if you want to talk about the SNES version, go to the SNES version page. I don't want to see things about "Human controlled leagues" that you or your college friends complete. If you can give me a reason why they SHOULD be considered, let me know.

message: "Rushes for losses are not counted against the yardage total."
-this is not true, the game just just display the value as '0'. however, the actual value is still stored within the game.
"A handful of plays blatantly violate NFL rules. For example, the WTE formation has too many men on the line of scrimmage (8), and several plays violate rules on backfield motion, including multiple players moving before the snap and players moving towards the line of scrimmage."
-Actually, there can be multiple players moving before the snap. All the players in motion just need to reset (into their stance) before the ball is snapped. There also can be players moving towards the line of scrimmage. They just need to be moving laterally or backwards at the snap.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't "Side Change" the techincally correct terminology for when teams rotate between offense and defense?  The side refers to the team (i.e., "Side Retired" in baseball) while the change refers to them changing between offense and defense?  (129.22.58.144 23:52, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

message: .. just an Original Research fest. I'm going to AGF and leave it alone, and see if I can source any of it. It sounds highly unlikely that I'll find anything. I would encourage whoever knows more about this game than others to do the same. If not, it's just going to have to be deleted. Wikidan829 13:14, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:TSB.jpg

message: This article is a bit confusing because it references the SNES version in a few places but there doesn't seem to be a section about that particular version.  I could have SWORN that I had Tecmo Bowl and Tecmo Super Bowl for the NES, but that the game I had for SNES was actually called "Super Tecmo Bowl".  But... I did some research and find out that they make Tecmo Super Bowl I, II, and III for SNES.  Guess I ate too many paint chips as a kid. --Bloodzombie 21:29, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, you're fine.  This is the release list;
# Tecmo Bowl (1988) - NES
# Tecmo Super Bowl (1991) - NES
# Tecmo Super Bowl (1993) - SNES
# Tecmo Super Bowl II: Special Edition (1994) - SNES
# Tecmo Super Bowl III: Final Edition (1995) - SNES
# Tecmo Super Bowl (1997) - PS
This article needs some major work, though. Tarc 03:06, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Confusion 

message: Do not insert the names of the "current champs" in the Tecmo Tournaments because they do not belong in this article.  They bring no relevant information to the article and the title of champion is highly suspect.  Cheers!!! Baegis 14:26, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tecmo Tournaments 

message: There are certain players whose names are not used in the game.  For example, Jim Kelly, the quarterback for the Buffalo Bills at the time has no name or portrait in his bio, and is referred to as "QB Bills."  This is significant and needs to be stated somewhere.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.192.36.120 (talk) 15:15, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Is the series "Tecmo Bowl" or "Tecmo Super Bowl"?  I would be inclined to say "Tecmo Bowl," since that's how it started and the most recent incarnation is the DS offering Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff.--Korben Dallas25 (talk) 22:23, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

message: If it is deemed unnecessary to include the tecmo.us link, then it is alo unneccessary to include the puretecmo.com link.

However, when it seemed only one link was being removed it appeared more to be on purpose when none of the others links were removed that fall under the same category.  As when I would remove the others, they would come back and that one would not.InformationalONLY (talk) 19:02, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

message: Seeing that NES TSB has been dead since 1991, I would like to create on section about the expansions and updates that the community has done to keep the game alive. I am looking for feedback from other editors on such an endeavor. The intentions are not to create a spat of right or wrong, but rather showcase what has transpired over the past 21 years.

message: Why are the SNES/Genesis versions not mentioned on this article? I mean, come on, I'm still looking for a reliable source that would fit the parameters of the site, and most of these arguments above are over a decade old. They just deserve at least a little mention. Sheesh. Johnnysama (talk) 17:49, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: They are mentioned (unsourced) in the Sequels and Related games section. The argument seems to be that this was essentially a different game with the same name plus improvements and expansion, which does often happen. I have no opinion on that. If we can find some sources, we can integrate it back in more fully. WP:VG/S has a list of vetted reliable sources for video games. Most print magazines also count. -- ferret (talk) 18:22, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
