In 16 games:

5 total defenses ever used.

2 are goal line

Second most frequent called 58 times
Man OLB flat zone called 733 times

Why bother putting in effort?

You only won by 2 can't be that bad. Of a defense:)

And many said 4.6 would be the best engine yet...

And hey it can win you 2 championships?

Very convenient for me to say now, I know, but I'm done doing it at this point.

Might not even have it in the playbook at all next season :o

Probably won't be the case for all my leagues but for this one in particular it's worth taking my new beta base gameplan into the next phase of testing.

Sorry to everyone I have frustrated along the way.

No need to apologize. I’m more mad at the engine than the owners (primarily TPM boys) that do it. It’s absurd that we’re on engine 4.6 and there’s still these op’d plays.

At this point in the sim’s lifespan, it’s incredibly annoying and embarrassing that we even have to have these conversations.

JDB is nowhere near ready to release this.

I will say it is not completely flawless as a strategy, Jackals/AG in that one thread I looked at in the community forums pretty much hit the nail on the head perfectly.

The game has devolved largely into two main defensive strategies + what offensive plays you call against those main defensive strategies, and that is absolutely on JDB. We need a new engine ASAP.

That being said, it's just lazy gameplanning on my part to do either of those main defensive strategies at this stage of the game. Once people catch on, it's all predictable.

I just don’t have the time to do my own bookkeeping on those plays that can beat those strategies. I know Seth put together that spreadsheet but that was for 4.6 beta over a year ago. The code has changed since then. I know a few through trial and error but not all.
