Delaware, USAAlso as a note, the same developers made Jersey Devil which frequently crashes on fds and I’ve tried two different discs.
I use 70k. Crashed on the second loading screen. Did 2 full runs on sds with no crashes.
The objective is simply to go from the start of the season to the completion of the last race regardless of standings? Is that an accurate prognosis?
that run i shouldve reset anyhow, i ended up playing in the wild card round. was a good lesson to learn
Also, pro tip, don't mash through the Super Bowl pop up too quick, first time through it crashed haha
Not worth splitting the boards. I tried for a bit on n64 emulator and it didnt seem to make a difference.
compared our runs side by side and found not much difference at first but more difference in game in terms of loads. about a second in load time when entering the game which is no big deal buuut
at the end of quarter from the time "end of first quarter" pops up to the time the play screen loads in i found a greater difference.
Quarter 1
About 7.21 seconds on PS2 with FDS About 3.46 seconds on N64
Quarter 2
I have halftime stats turned off so it went straight from EOQ to second half FDS PS2 took about 7.03 seconds just for this
About 2.49 seconds on N64 from EOQ to halftime stats screen About 2.32 seconds on N64 from halftime stats screen to kickoff fade in
Quarter 3
7.33 seconds on FDS PS2 3.66 seconds on N64
Also, I notice that you end each quarter by going out of bounds (which I assume is the fastest way to do so, so I didn't include the time before the End of Quarter screen comes up, only the time from it appearing until the playscreen appears in the next quarter.
In total, for just those loads in a single game. ~21.57 on FDS PS2 ~11.93 on N64
Gameplay to me appears to be about the same, but the load times are different. I am sure there is difference in load time after each dead ball as well but I'm not gonna time that right now.
I leave this information to you moderator, decide if you wish to split the leaderboard by system or have all runs be on the same leaderboard despite the load differences.
Holy cow just found the options for screen loading. 10 seconds is probably not accurate. Will see what I find!
N64 seems to load into the game 10 seconds faster. I wonder if the transitions between quarters are similarly affected.
Upload it to something such as google drive or imgur and throw the link in the resubmission and you’re golden
Yo I was thinking of running this on ps1, I’m not sure if there are any differences. But it’d be super dope to be able to join the ranks!
I’m glad to see so many people enjoying this hilarious game. I made a discord so we all have a handy dandy place to taco bout it. https://discord.gg/QDzpkDt
Holy cow I just got the notification too, 166 of them all at once haha. And yeah I designed it as a way to speedrun madden but it could certainly be applied to any sports game with some form of franchise or season mode.
Presently those can all be set to anything. But if youre wanting a category with specific settings to add challenge, I’m definitely interested
They would appear to be as legit as the wii version, just seperate them, as seen in games such as toy story 3 or the simpsons hit and run ;)
Hi everyone, I have been speedrunning since August and and want to use the platform of a convention panel to promote speedrunning to new audiences. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in joining me on a panel at Too Many Games which takes place in Oaks, PA from June 22nd to June 24th. Its a fun con and this feels like the sort of place to introduce speedrunning to gamers who have not yet heard the good news. I would love to split hotel costs etc, so reply to this or hit me up on discord and well talk details!
ragingredneck has an extensive guide that covers it thoroughly as well as the routes for both categories. highly recommend both also onenamedlucas has a video for the manip only. all are under guides
