To get folks caught up at whats happening....
Note: This is about the Original Tecmo Bowl game from 1989...NOT TECMO SUPER BOWL from 1991.
We're(a buddy and I) just past the halfway point in the current season(7 weeks down/5 to go)
The home team has won 62% of thier games. Pretty standard in TB from the hundreds and hundreds of games we have chronicled on spreadsheets. We conduct a draft each season, then randomly set up the divisions and conferences. This season was fairly odd as all the powerhouse teams(NYG/CHI/SF/DEN/CLE) made thier way into one conference and the bottom half teams ended up together.
Current Standings
Week 8 games.
CHI(3-4) @ MIA(5-2)
NYG(4-3) @ IND(5-2)
DEN(5-2) @ MIN(0-7)
WSH(4-3) @ SEA(2-5)
(MNF)LA(5-2) @ SF(4-3)
Top 3 teams frome each conference get in the playoffs. A small tourney is held between the other 6 teams to decide the 4 seed for each conference
Tecmo Bowl playoff history
Tecmo Bowl I:
SEA over DAL 24-3 in season 1. That playoff saw multiple upsets. CHI lost to underdog MIN. SF who had previously owned LA got beat on a last second FG. LA then went on to get upset by DAL in the conference championship game.
SEA on the other hand had a magical season like no other. With CHI already eliminated, they cruised by CLE in the conference championship game en route to putting away DAL in the Tecmo Bowl. Interesting enough neither SEA or DAL had to do much dirty work during the playoffs thanks to some huge upsets.
Tecmo Bowl II:
Season 2 saw MIA beat CHI 12-10 in the Tecmo Bowl. Those playoffs saw LA again pull off a huge upset this time over NYG, but fell handily to MIA's passing attack in the conference championship game. CHI on the other hand throttled CLE(42-3) and SF(31-0) easily reaching the Tecmo Bowl. MIA came out aggressive in the game converting its share of risky 4th downs, while not scoring a lot of points they controlled the ball for a good amount of time and engineered a late drive for the winning fg as time expired.
More recaps to come as they are completed.
