Preseason impressions

I may be deluded but I like what I see from my team so far. And It seems that I'm set for the future with Ledbetter, the quarterback that I drafted in the first round. Depth in certain positions may be another story though :) And you? Happy with your team and rookies so far?

Plus Ledbetter is a great name.
Happy with my team. Lots of talent and depth. If only 90 rated DT's made a bigger impact on the game.

So far the new pursuit logic seems to be working better.
Lots of weird substitutions this last game.

Totally agree with the weird substitutions.
I'm not happy having my 97 HB playing ST's and defense???

Be sure you have all your players active - the preseason allows all 60 players to be active, in order to combat some of the weird substitutions that occur because of fatigue.

I have my ST depth set very deep with non starters so I havnt noticed and starters playing on them except for maybe a couple borderline players.

In another league (MFN-6) I will see my top WR playing on Defense and I am trying to fix it but to do it I would have to set slower LB's back on depth and its not something I like to do.

Mabe there is a way to have a box on player that you could check that would prohibit that player from playing out of position. Is this even possible to do Dave?

Version 0.2.1 actually has improved logic for preventing offensive players from playing on defense and vice versa - so once MFN-6 rolls over to the next season you should see the WR playing on defense eliminated unless you are just plain out of healthy defensive players. One feature I do intend to implement is the ability to block players from special teams and ultimately a better depth chart for special teams.

What about MFN-2 as far as the logic?

Yes, MFN-2 is now using version 0.2.1.
