I'm playing this with grossly transposed keys on a laptop... I'm controlling the directions with my right hand, and B & N function as my B & A buttons. I've been doing it like this for months, and it still trips me up. Let me get a USB controller worth anything, and Tecmo Reg will average 250 yards per touch.
Not to mention, the punters are freakin' beasts on the coverage on this game. Makes me wonder why they don't line up on defense sometimes. Heh...
