Introduction:
Tecmo Bowl Throwback is a nearly identical to the SNES classic Tecmo Super Bowl. The players and teams have changed but their numbers and stats remain. Winning a ranked match by 18 should be your only troubles. The top players make getting the rest of the achievements gravy.
Step #1: Season
Pick a strong offensive team, since most of the achievements are based around offense. I suggest San Francisco as they have an awesome WR/QB tandem. You have 16 games in the regular season, as well as 3-4 playoff games. During one game, only pick running plays, and win. You will likely get 100+ yards rushing. Another, concentrate on passing to one single WR. This will net you 300 yards passing and 150 yards receiving. After getting these tasks down, try for your 60 yard field goal. Obviously, you will complete a pass, net a 20 yard rush, and get a sack within a 20 game season. Once you have everything done that you want to accomplish, run the clock out as much as possible while still ensuring you win.
Make it to the playoffs, then win all your playoff games to be the Tecmo Champ. Quitting, going to the dashboard, even powering off WILL NOT WORK if you are losing. You must win your games to proceed. Your only other option would be to backup your save on a memory card, and play off the memory card if you happen to lose.
Step #2: Tie up loose ends
If there is something you missed in the Season mode, than get them done afterwards in a Preseason game. San Francisco has the best QB and WR, Detroit has the best RB, Kansas City has the best kicker, and Atlanta has the best return man. Use these teams to help clean up, and play against New England.
Step #3: Ranked matches
All you need to do is win one ranked game, and win one by 18+ points. So, you could get this done in one game. Pick a strong team that appeals to your strengths and tastes and score often. If you have troubles, try to find a match with a friend to boost these.
Conclusion:
Super easy 200. You could get 175 in an hour or two. Season mode will take you around 10 hours to complete 20 games.
