ME
Im #1, its true, its damn true. Look no further than the winning percentages and you will see. I hold the title of best offensive coordinator. I played the game alot when i was really young but just got it back less than a year ago and have only been playing extensively for about 2 months. I introduced everyone else to the game, even though they were skeptical of my claims that it was the greatest game ever, and then soon came to realize that it was. I started off 0-3(all road games) but then went on a tear after that. I have never lost with the NYG since getting the game back, and i never plan on losing either. Im not saying it cant be done, because it could be done, im just hoping and praying it never does because that will be a sad sad day. The gap is sadly closing however, my one friend is getting better and pretty soon he will be almost as good as me, just a bit behind, though never as good, lets not kid ourselves. And you dont want me getting the ball with enough time left for one drive down by 1 score. Because then i can just drive, no matter how bad my O has stunk all game, the "I dont want to lose" factor kicks in and i have a knack for getting points at that time, when it counts.
Perhaps my biggest accomplishment is my ability to beat the NY Giants. Recently i have beat them with LA(actually wooped them pretty bad) because of LA's totally unstoppable O. And in a tournament i was able to beat the Giants 3-0 with Washington, yes, i scored points on the Giants with the worst O in the game, then was good enough to never let them get inside my 40. In one tournament finals i went in as the huge underdog with Denver. At one point i took at 10-3 lead and it looked like i had the game won. But midway through the 3rd the Giants orcestrated a mamoth drive for a TD, i simply could not stop them, i watched in horror as the lack lustre O drove the field on me. I consider it one of the biggest dissapointments, i just couldnt stop them, couldnt call a play or nothing, i late went on to lose 13-13 in overtime. Recently i have played some very close games against the Giants. I was seattle and i got off to an early lead 3-0, almost scored a TD but couldnt. On the first drive i was unstoppable the D couldnt do anything against me, the drive took over a quarter of action, possibly the longest drive ever. Then when i got the ball back a second time my momentum continued and i again drove down inside the 10 but could not get a TD, so i went for the 10 yard FG and missed because LT is such a manic. My D took over from their, not allowing the Giants to go anywhere, first downs were very rare for them. Later in the second half though, it happened, the Giants got their points like they always do. They drove from their 40 for a td, 7-3 Giants but it wasnt over yet. Seattle got the ball back with time left for 1 more drive. So they regained their early game form and again drove the field on the Giants, a clock killing drive that brought me down to 9 seconds on 4th down from the Giants 8. If i had have hit the earlier FG then i had the win here with a FG. But since i did not, i had to go for it, and of course, LT stopped me. But i came damn close. Then even more recently there was the lopsided match up of Dallas-NYG. But off the opening kick off you could see Dallas came to play. They returned it out to the 50 and within 5 plays were within the Giants 10. Since the immutable laws of physics state that LT does not give up touchdowns, i had to settle for a FG. Then Dallas got determined, their D was on fire, you know that worst D in the game. The Giants werent moving the ball anywhere. Dallas went into half time pumped with a 3-0. Then when they came out of half time Giants got the ball and it was the same old thing, Dallas D just stepping up. During this time Dallas had a couple ok drives but nothing inside the 30. And then it happened, and dont even pretend its suspensful because it happens everytime(which is why i get really pissed when the guy who is losing with the Giants complains), the Giants got their Damn points, they drove inside my 35 and kicked an easy FG. Soon after we were off to OT. Dallas couldnt move the ball much in OT and it was really just a matter of time before the Giants got another FG and they did, at which point the controller of the Giants tossed the controller and let out a big sigh, ya thats right, i almost beat you with Dallas. All of these games were against Cam, since i destroy anyone else even when they got the Giants.
Highlights:
- Never Lost with the Giants....now i just lost with them(CRAP)
Brought the Broncos out of obscurity
- Made everyone fear Cleveland for the first time.
- Is the only one that can work the Washington Offense effectively enough.
- Is currently turning Miami into a powerhouse.
Once threw the controller full force at the top of the nintendo(was the hardest smash ever at the time)
LowLight
- I really think that loss to the NYG with Denver is my lowlight, i really thought i had them beat after that huge TD, then they just drove the field, that shouldnt happen against me with teh NYG, i was in disbelief, damn, i cant get over it, Mecklenburg should have stopped them, it wasnt supposed to go that way, damn.

Cam
The only competition i have. Claims to be the best defensive co-ordinator and he probably is. Certainly picks your play a hell of alot more than anyone else does. His O co-ordinating is not lacking either, far and away second best. His biggest problem may be his complete inability to return kick-offs, by far the worst percentage out of any of the regular players. Also suffers from an inability to win coin tosses, once lost 11 in a row i believe, awww good times. Is the inovator of many effective defensive strategies including the odd ball but now widely accepted "Be Banks" strategy with the NYG, thats right. Instead of being LT you be Carl Banks on defense, very off but against some teams, or for some plays it works best.
Highlights:
- Finally got the monkey off his back and broke the 0-11 coin toss streak.
- Cant win with Minnesota, actaully has never won with them, pretty funny(and with the latest developments minnesota may never win again, with anyone)
- Gets really fucking pissed when he is losing a game he should be winning(once fist smashed the nintendo into submission after a loss)

"Homework Loving Putz"
If he was as dedicated to Tecmo as he is to his homework, then maybe he would make a half decent player. But as it is now, he is the bottom feeder. We really shouldnt be so hard on him, it could be that he is just up against such stiff competition, which he is, so he doesnt really have a chance to suceed. And he is also the least experienced of us. But still, we would like to see some improvement. He now has 75 games or so under his belt, he should be consistently pummleing us when he has Chicago or the NYG and we are an average or bum team, but it doenst happen. There are several reasons this may occur aside from the lack of experience. He never seems to get the one big play needed, or moreso, always makes that one crucial error, like choking on D at just the wrong time for a big 30-40 yard gain. He is also the most predictable playe, which is the worst thing you can be in this game. He also will abandon the running game at the drop of a hat, like stuff his run on the first couple series and you wont be seeing much of it the rest of the game, only adds to the predictability when you can consistently gamble with pass calls on D without any fear, even when he has Walter Payton for god sake. This is the area in which he has made the most improvement however. His best ability is his KR's, by far the best out of any of us, but those have been dissapearing of late and so he doenst have any offense to speak of. His other good atribute can be his deciciveness and risktaking at QB, sometimes he will just let loose and go deep(which is ALWAYS a good plan, but no one has the balls, and no one will ever have the balls) and sometimes he will throw a risky pass right at the start of a play, which is usually a good thing to do. So he has something to build on. The first thing i would recommend he changes is smashing stuff. He has never smashed anything, and he isint even in his own house! All he does when he gets up set is either sit there and keep losing badly or complain about 1 little crap thing over and over. The clear thing to do is smash something, get your frustrations out and get on with the damn game, or if you are really pissed off then take the damn loss and chuck the damn controller at the nintendo and try to break it(it is great therapy) the nintendo is mega tough, it can take it. We are in agreement that a heart attack is coming if he doesnt start smashing stuff quickly. It can only mean good things for his playing ability too.
Highlights:
-
Insane maniac Kick Returns, brought them into style with the likes Mike Gentry and Gerald Mcneil
-
Once was Chicago and beat me 14-10 when i was Dallas(both his TD's came off KR's(ya i was pissed)
-
Has more wins with Minnesota than Cam(Actaully does pretty good with them)

The Best and the Worst
Top 3 CLE 12-8 .600

CHI 12-16 .429
Bottom 3
MIN 3-17 .150

Those are the only 6 teams he has played with. That NYG record is truely shameful. Notice how none of us have a good W/L with SF. They are shit.
My Brother(older)
REVENGE! He is the one who used to pound me into the ground at Tecmo when i was a kid. So now its payback time, and there is no mercy. He doesnt play all that often and has only played me. The first time we played i had not yet gotten into playing 2 player alot, but i was alot more prepared from playing against the computer. I won most all the games. Then the last time we played i had alot more 2 player experience and i was at the top of my game, we only played a few games, but they were never in doubt, i won everyone of them, pretty easily too. This is not to say hs is a bad player, right now he would be 3rd best. With alot of practice and regular playing, i could see him as second best, and yes maybe even the best(bold statement). He still knows the game well from the past and just has a knack for it. Right now his biggest problem is making rooking type mistakes. Mostly QB passing errors, he will inexplicably throw to a completely covered guy sometimes. Others he will cycle one reciever too many or not enough and throw for a pick. Picks are very costly in this game, throwing one in your own zone can be game ending. If he were to work this out he would improve vastly. He is also the most unpredictable play caller. On defense it is hard to pick his play because he is all over the board(this allowed him to drive on me with cleveland against the NYG!). And when he is playing D he never seems to fall into traps and can surprise you with a play pick sometimes, like times when you are certain he would pick run or whatever. He is also a very good KR, the first time we played by the end he was returning nearly every kick out past the 40! It was insanity, i was getting super pissed. His play calling ability leads me to believe that he has a cahnce at being the best if he were to shake the rust off and sharpen up his QB skills.

Fan Favorite John Elway.
