Never played 5. I tried 4 when it came out and didn't like it all, so I just kept playing 3 all these years.BurtReynolds wrote:Do you think the later ones are dumbed down?

I don't have a computer than could even remotely run Civ 6 on its lowest settings.

They don't have the players names on Tecmo Bowl just the numbers. Attributes are the same though. LT is all over the field!
