I just scored 276 in a game... including 88 points in the second quarter. I had approximately 1600 total yards of offense (500 rushing, 1100 passing).

5 minute quarters, using onside kicks and two point conversions.

I am in week 17 of season 5, and for the season I am averaging about 204 points a game. A lot of games around 180-195 early in the season, but once I broke the 200 barrier I am regularly banking 220-250+ now.

I do not just pass on offense, but when I do, I use the best play in the game. Its the run and shoot play where there are 2 receivers that go short, and 2 receivers that go long. There is almost always someone open, and most importantly the receivers all stay away from each other.

You can alter the running speeds of your quarterback that make him unsackable even if they pick the play. You can do the same with your wideouts to make them virtually uncatchable once they get the ball. I use this same passing play on two-point conversions and just roll out with the quarterback and it works everytime.

If you alter the speeds of your defensive players and use Tecmo Jo on defense as the cornerback at the top of the screen, you can recover an average of 7 out of 10 onside kicks; sometimes 10 out of 10. The few times they do recover the ball you can usually stall their drives quite easily with Tecmo Jo, and pick off passes easily for touchdowns. Also, I just figured out if Jo is in that position (TOP of the screen CB) he can blitz around the end and tackle the holder before any field goal can be attempted.

This will be my last post, unless I can crack the 300 mark.
