That too. I remember as a kid I started and finished seasons with every single team. White/typed up final stats and everything. A few things I remember with certain teams. Raiders- I finished with over 3,000 yards without Bo and another 2,000 yards with Allen. Bills- I had over 70-80 sacks with Bruce 49ers- I had ridiculous passing numbers with Montana. Receiving numbers with Rice. And my greatest feat, I finished the season with allowing less than 1,000 yards total offense with my defense. For the whole season.
gobills1212 Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 Same reason he didnt have football trading cards for a few years. Pro Set said screw it and went ahead anyway and made a Kelly but stamped the back different as it didnt have NFLPA rights - there are a few diff 91 versions. Starting lineups were haulted for a couple years too. He was in the qb club though so proline and dominos cards were ok. This is the reason you used to get blank jererys in the 80s and 90s at retail as well. No rights

It makes me wonder why. Also I thought you had to join as a player. 1 hour ago, mrags said: That too. I remember as a kid I started and finished seasons with every single team.

Bing Bong Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 If that's the same Quarterback Club later made by Acclaim, then that game was great. Quarterback Club 98 and 99 were supposed to be better than the Madden games at the time. Plus they had the entire NFL rosters.
947 Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 I have an NES classic mini & found instructions online to hack it & add more games. I recently got a 2019 version of Tecmo Super Bowl on it. It's awesome playing my favorite game from my youth as Josh Allen. Oliver is a stud too.
BringBackFlutie Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 12 hours ago, mrags said: The 49ers were by far the best team they had Montana, Rice, Taylor, Craig, And on defense they had Ronnie Lott. Lott was what we called the “touch tackle defense”. Most times playing the game, when tackling you got locked up with a defender and whoever lashed the buttons the fastest won the battle. Lott was a super cheat. All you had to do was touch the player and they were instantly tackled. Yeah but it was the same for Bruce and Bennett. You could do anything you wanted if you picked Bruce before the play.
MJS Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 It's the same reason why Bill Belichick is never in Madden. He's the only coach not part of the coaches union. 1

I had the most sacks I ever had with Bruce. But no team ever came close to the 49ers defense. Allowing less than 1,000 yards for the entire season is insane. I don’t remember how much less but at 1,000 yards it comes out to less than 63 yards a game. 1

DieHardBillsFan Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 I always used the Browns when playing head to head so it would be fair. They were so bad, but I would still win.

The Antonio Brown was was terrible. I sold it back to gamestop about a week after I bought it. Decided not to play this one either. 1
Comebackkid Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 Played Raiders with Bo. Rams had Willie flipper Anderson that rocked on tecmo... Eventually settled on Bills been a fan ever since 91 1

Also Leonard White was like a smaller Okoye and he was an awesome pass catcher I used to play as the Bills yet used a lot of the run and shoot plays. I specifically remember putting Beebe at FB and running this play quite a bit as he'd end up in the slot running a go route and resulted in a TD almost every time. PS You meant Lorenzo White.

Also Leonard White was like a smaller Okoye and he was an awesome pass catcher Actually there were a lot of players. You have to look at the timeline. After the strike of 1986 there was a lot going on. At some point, I think in the early 90s the players decertified the union - just like they always do when there's a labor dispute. Once they do that the owners can't lock the players out as a group just because they don't have a collective bargaining agreement. But then what happened was the NFLPA kept representing players in things like marketing deals, and using the money they raised to fund their lawsuits against the league. The NFL decided to take took advantage of the fact that the players weren't technically represented by the union. Since there was no CBA the NFL could make deals with individual players in order to market their jerseys etc. They paid a boatload of money to a bunch of players which added to the labor strife. But with no CBA and technically no NFLPA as the bargaining representative, the owners couldn't lock them out and the players couldn't strike - except as individuals. For the time being they both found it best to keep playing games and file their lawsuits - many of which wouldn't be allowed if there was a CBA in place. Anyway, that's why there were a bunch of players back then who weren't part of the NFLPA licensing deals with companies like TECMO. It actually didn't last long because a court decision found that it was illegal for the players to decertify the union in order to file lawsuits, and then keep using the NFLPA as a collective representative with licensing deals and in their lawsuits. The court said you're either represented by a union or you're not. And the eventual result was a temporary free agency system lovingly referred to as Plan B, which lasted until they finally all agreed on the current system we have today with free agency after 4 years but with franchise/transition tags and restricted free agency for guys with less than 4 years, along with the salary cap. 1
