Watch it, bub. When we're talkin' Tecmo Bowl, LT is the guy who prevents motherfuckers from running 1000 millimeters a game. This Tomlinson fellow will have to go by his full name while the real LT is in town.

There's not much different from what we've seen before, but Tecmo is making one important change to Kickoff. Previously, the game?s producer stated that when you created a team, you could max out stats for each player on your team. This basically made the idea of playing online with a customized team pretty pointless since there was a good chance that everyone would just max out their stats anyway. So, Tecmo has gone back and adjusted player customization. In the final game, you'll have a limited amount of points and two overarching categories to put them into. On top of that, the categories have weighted percentages, but basically this all means that while you can still sink all your points into speed for your running back, doing so would mean that he would probably be tackled by anyone touching him.

Changing around the player customization is a great move by Tecmo since it was such a big concern in the Tecmo Bowl fan community, and it shows that the company is generally concerned about making sure that everything is right. The gameplay feels pretty good at this point, and we're surprised that there's some actually decent A.I. in here that won't let you run around in circles, then run forward 20 yards, then run back 50 yards, and then run into the end zone for a touchdown.

For example, if your running back gains a certain number of yards in a game, he'll be able to use a "Lightning Dodge" that puts him through and on the other side of all the defenders around him as part of a in-play cutscene. Other special moves include the "Rocket Pass" for quarterbacks, the "Tugboat" (gaining extra yards at the end of a tackle) for skill position players, and the "Sack Evasion" for quarterbacks, which sounds like the name of a Go Team song. Because of a bug in the alpha version we were playing, this happened on every play of the game, which was a little annoying, but it will certainly be fixed in time for the finished version of the game, in which you'll expect to see these animations once or twice a game.

Things are looking good.

They say the stylus controls actually make the passing too easy, though.

The guy previewing says that the arrow style field goals and pass blocking are new. They've been in the game since the 2nd NES version.

Still not a lot of information available on this one, but you can save $5 if you pre-order on Amazon.

Release date is apparently on the 11th of this month.
