Re: Tecmo league/tournament
 

It's against Warpath policy but I'm going to move this to the Locker Room for now because we really need to get this draft moving faster. Maybe people will notice it faster if it's in the Locker Room/

Step up Rob

FRPLG you're up

let's end this bitch and start playing

Re: Tecmo league/tournament
 

Dolphins

Re: Tecmo league/tournament
 

Wow, I must say I'm shocked at some of the teams that were passed over.

I'm taking the Eagles.

Re: Tecmo league/tournament
 

Moving this thread back to the parking lot, let's get some games in soon.

I was real close to grabbing them, having "QB Eagles" is quite a weapon.

No Barry Sanders, Bo Jackson, or Christian Okoye in this tournament. That's definitely surprising.

Yeah seriously.

I was torn between the Eagles and Raiders, but in the end the ultimate weapon won out.

I also really like the Bengals, they have nice balance and are often overlooked. Fulcher on D is a madman.

Yeah, James Brooks is beast.

I find a lot of the time in head to head, a lot of success is determined by your playbook. If your opponent is worth a darn, any bootleg, reverse, or flea flicker is going to get crushed.

Which leads me to my next question... are we allowed to change the offensive playbook for this tournament, or do we have to stick with what the team is given?

Re: Tecmo league/tournament
 

You can definitely change the playbooks. Most of the defaults are awful.

Re: Tecmo league/tournament
 

How do you change the playbooks?

Re: Tecmo league/tournament
 

[quote=SmootSmack;312506]How do you change the playbooks?[/quote]

you have to do it before starting the game, just go into the team data screen

Re: Tecmo league/tournament
 

When saving the scoreboard at the end of the game, I know you hit F5, but where does it go, and how do you retrieve it?

Re: Tecmo league/tournament
 

[quote=Mattyk72;312520]you have to do it before starting the game, just go into the team data screen[/quote]

Should we do so before connecting to each other via IP address, or do we have to link up and then make the change?

Re: Tecmo league/tournament
 

[quote=Schneed10;312525]Should we do so before connecting to each other via IP address, or do we have to link up and then make the change?[/quote]

link up first

Re: Tecmo league/tournament
 

[quote=Beemnseven;312523]When saving the scoreboard at the end of the game, I know you hit F5, but where does it go, and how do you retrieve it?[/quote]

It will go to the folder you have the nesticle program and game ROM in

Re: Tecmo league/tournament
 

Sorry for delaying the process guys... I just kept coming back and checking and seeing that no-one had picked... I'm a douche...

Schneed,

I'll be on Aim tonight...

Re: Tecmo league/tournament
 

TMC, let me know when you wanna do this

Sounds good, I'll make sure to catch up with you.

Re: Tecmo tournament
 

I created our own Tecmo forum and also broke down some of the more important parts of our original thread into seperate posts to make things easier to find.

Re: Tecmo tournament
 

My opponent folded (I had told him if I lost he could take a 3 month vacation)

So now what??

Re: Tecmo tournament
 

Is TMC really not playing?

Re: Tecmo tournament
 

Yeah, his new wife won't let him <<makes whipped sound>>

Seriously though, said he just has too much on his plate right now

Re: Tecmo tournament
 

Damn that stinks. I guess you advance to the next round, unless someone wants to jump in and take his spot.

Re: Tecmo tournament
 

How long are you willing to hold off? I'd be willing to take TMC's place (with the Giants), but I have to buy a controller (no problem) and get a time to play (could be one). If someone else steps up, it's cool, and I wouldn't want you guys to wait on me if everyone else is done...

Giants are all yours if you want. Do you think you could get the games in within a week or so?

Re: Tecmo tournament
 

I don't see why not...while I'm out tomorrow night, I'll drop in my local Best Buy and grab a controller, get a few games in and perhaps get going over the weekend.

I need to get this issue resolved, otherwise there's no point in me playing. I can see the "snap000" or "snap001" shots in the folder each time I save a scoreboard, but then what?

If I try to click on them, I get an error message saying "Windows needs to know program created this file" -- and no matter what, I can't get the file to open. Are these the saved scoreboards?

I still haven't figured out how to get to them, much less email them to anyone.

Help?

Try right-clicking on the snapshot file, and selecting 'properties'. There it should list the file type and possibly a program that it opens with. You can try changing the program to Nesticle, and see if that does anything for you. Other than that, I got no idea.

Re: Tecmo tournament
 

any sort of picture viewing program should be able to open it

OK, I tried opening it with Microsoft Paint, Adobe Acrobat 7.0, Adobe Reader 7.0, Nesticle (it said 'cannot open file'), Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, HP Image Zone -- nothing works!

When you guys click on 'properties' what program are you opening it with? Originally mine said Unknown Application.

I guess i could just email what I've got and maybe you can open it Matty. Any other ideas?

Re: Tecmo tournament
 

Try sending it to me
