1000 yards in Retrobowl !

[jwin615]

Not pedal related, but a fun victory.
I finally did it. 1000 exactly. Took me close to 20 seasons. In Y55 now(played a lot on airplanes). Need receivers with max speed and near max stamina to get down the field fast enough. I tried everything. No defense, max defense, DL only, DB/LB only. Hit 980s sooo many times. Finally hit 1k, and my QB is out for W13-W18. Apparently his arm blew up. Pour one out for Elijah Harvin's bicep tonight.
And did it against a 7-4 team¿
This was my white whale in this time killer of a game. Maxed everything. Even have 100 yard record pass and 100 yard record run(have to have QB take a knee at the goal line)
My coach is 90 so I guess I'll take him to 100...

Well, good thing biceps in 8bit can just be recoded.

Awesome work. I enjoy switching teams every 10 years, grab the worst team, and take them to the Super Bowl within a couple years. I've been doing the college version, which I find has a bit more difficulty.

Thanks. It a dumb thing to be joyful about but nonetheless.
It's mostly just been a time sink for airports/planes for me but goal has alluded me(pun intended) for about a year now. Once I got 998 yards, it was all over. Hitting it was more of a relief than a celebration. Finally!
I haven't played the College version. May have to check it out.
Off topic rant:
I have been super excited for NCAA 24. I played the original titles a ton. Like, 80% of my gameplay time was NCAA. But, finding out it will only play on Series X machines and not my original One really bummed me. I rarely play Xbox anymore, but would play the hell out of NCAA. The kids tend to play the switch. I just don't think we'd get $500+ of enjoyment out of a new Xbox. I'm sure there are plenty of other games that are/will be exclusive to series X and up but since we don't play them anyway...

I approve of this rant. I give it 7 thumbs up out of 3.

Edited to add: hey, we all need to find the victories in life that we want to share and make us happy. I think society has decided to just poopoo so much of that nowadays.
