Exploit the weaknesses in your opponent's defense and hope you have enough play familiarity, FOV, INT, and luck from your QB to find the appropriate player.

Also have a friend that is proficient in SQL and database design...


Don't forget crowd noise

I put a T at TE and never threw to him. Using a strict spread offense(w/2-3) the 64 rated default qb had better than a 2 to 1 td /int ratio . His accuracy was in the 70s -80s for most of the season .

I think the fact that he had no FOV caused him to force passes but our recievers were so fast it didn't matter as much...except one play off game he threw 6 picks.

This season we picked completely opposite plays and slotted our 95/95 wr at TE. Hes doing OK but for some reason my qbs interceptions have not been to him. Probably cause he's out running those cover guys. Any other 4.5 leagues with high rated TE and a better QB I get most my interceptions to him, but he might have only 84 speed not 95 and 60 pounds lighter.

Same for D we lost only one regular season game with no goaline or blitz plays . We got stomped in the play off but the palyer abuse penalties or lack there of are dictating a lot of outcomes. Especially later in the game.

**** son..you've got a serious problem if you're that heart broke over a **** game and the demise of your precious "35".
I picked 4 or 5 teams a season or 2 ago that were stuck and begging for players, and joined them to help em out. "35" was one of them and it was stuck in the middle of the draft. I even bought some credits, changed the team, colors, logos, all that good stuff...Does that sound like a league killer?
Fast forward to now...I left "35" because it lost owners again and again was stuck in the middle of the draft. I don't like sitting around wondering if and when my team will play again, so I posted in the forum that I was leaving. You had nothing to say about it then, and now all of the sudden I'm a league killer...lol

Get over it boy. I've been around here **** near 5 years. I remember 3 years ago when there were at least 100 leagues and every one of them was full, and new ones were being created daily. And now its come to this...I don't like seeing leagues die. I liked it when it was booming.

And I stand by what I said: If you're looking for a league killer, look at JDB. His AI hand grenades league rosters and these last 2 codes have had people leave this game in droves.

Aren't you in MFN 1? Talk to JDB about killing leagues.... Tell him Big Poppa says hey. :)


Wasn't planning to make a big issue. Told MM to stop complaining about playing the AI in ANARCHY, then left. He went ballistic. HOW DARE I! You & Crazy piled on (Inf gave a whole bunch of encouraging thumbs up). I've been called rook, boy, son ... I'm not about to kiss anyone's *** because they've been hanging around for more than a year and have an attitude. So now it's an issue. A public one.

35 was stuck for 18 hours. I know the owner that had been dropped, he lives down the hall. I messaged the league to say I'd remind him to sign back up in the morning. Then ...

I'm there too this league sucks anymore. Sorry guys


Then Meat started bitching in ANARCHY. NOW he claims to feel sorry for two of the other owners form 35. That's right, two.

So f**k casualcnote, Icecold, almaric, UKRAINE, Phaldun, talos, ctiger, Ryan & Wolfpax; F**k punisher and Chombatta for showing up and keeping two teams out of AI **** (how pathetically apathetic); but most of all f**k Tarq, because he DARED to say something about some veteran's disrespectful behavior instead of blaming it all on JDB. If I forgot anyone, sorry (and f**k them too).

You can't blame apathy either. Apathy is NOT leaving a stupid message that discourages any new recruits. Apathy is NOT hitting the abandon button.

I said something to Meat because he was the one bitching. You were just an unapologetic a****le, not trying to convince anybody you were any different. I was fine just not being in any more leagues with you. Now it's an issue. Think up some more creative insults. Keep trying to talk down to me. Keep talking about it and I will too. So yeah, my problem must be being heartbroken over a league.

Hang on! I didn't know why you left ANARCHY. I assumed it was because seth & IoT where ahead of you in the rankings.

I didn't even know you had a problem with anyone in ANARCHY.

-You said something & left-

You could've stuck around & talked it out. Rather than what's going on now.

I get it that not everyone is gonna get along.

Wow. I thought it was a INT thread and actually it’s a drama filled soap opera. I love surprises!

I'm sure it is not easy to code up a simulation that runs perfectly. Give them some credit. Gotta be a good reason why I play MFN instead of Madden.

Imagine a world where a 1 guy "company" can make a better football simulation than the indie company that is EA Sports.

Indeed. I've played my fair share of EA games, from FIFA 98 (and every third or so installment after that) and Madden 09 and every other game since that... and while the games may work well (haven't played it since Madden17 was fresh), the franchise mode was boring. I've never tried with other people ,more than one other person, but it got boring and "easy to see through" pretty fast.

It was one offhand comment. Unfortunately in that environment it encouraged the others. Forgiven and forgotten.

I'm sorry that this issue impacts your league. Hopefully it will continue many seasons. As I said, I've truly enjoyed my time there, and my interactions with most of the owners.
