Tecmo Bowl Throwback disappointed multiplayer enthusiasts when it appeared that ragequitting didn’t count in players’ records, among other complaints of online problems at launch. Originally Tecmo was said to be working up a patch. The publisher now says it isn’t.
Tecmo Bowl Throwback players may have noticed you can ragequit a 38-0 beating scot-free, no forfeit, no loss, no nothing. Tecmo is said to be working on a fix for this.
If Tecmo Bowl Throwback actually plays like its 1991 cousin, with similar players, then in addition to destroying everything on earth with the Run-and-Shoot Houston Oilers, I guarantee I’ll get eight of the game’s 12 achievements in my first game.
Tecmo, the company that was once a giant in video game football, is continuing its slow return to the virtual gridiron. Today we have word of Tecmo Bowl Throwback.
There have been rumours that Tecmo is bringing Tecmo Bowl to the PSN and Xbox LIVE Arcade with Tecmo Bowl Throwback. If you believe the ESRB, those rumours could be true.
