Play familiarity is one of the worst mechanics in this game IMO.

I've only been in the league for 3 games but so far so good! Indianapolis is going to be a real test though. Detroit you'll figure it out your offense (atleast against me) was scoring enough to keep you in games just gotta figure out the defense it is tough starting out I'm nearing the end of my first month on MFN.


Defensive tweaks worked. But was lucky to get a win. 2 early picks and a big lead. Took a goal line stand to pull it off. Season saver. 10 of last 11 opponents have losing records (like me).

I don't even pay attention to it or think about it much but can't help to think something is happening with it . I got no clue.

In my experience, effective plays do get better, but ineffective plays continue to ****. The problem with the "getting better" part is that play experience controls things like hot reads, so you don't have those until your QB is completely proficient in a play.

Thanks for the defensive compliment blackflys, but I just can't figure out this league. Great shutout - my team couldn't run the ball at all. I even put the running back fatigue meter down to 25 and only two RB's carried the ball ????


Your Rbs did split time.. They had 17, 15, 13 , 1 play between the four. The thing is if you run on first your number one rb is gonna carry it and then if you sub it's 2nd and long and most likely a pass . So your next guy is in on a pass play. Then it subs again and probably another pass. So all your passing downs is when your 3rd rb came in most likely. To control your Rbs splitting carries you have to go and set overrides on your depth chart. I wouldent mess with the misc. setting to much on your game plan. It can really effect things in a negative way. Overrides lets you control it in a more efficient way of getting solid production.

Cleveland is bad at ALL of the plays! But hey, IT IS Cleveland.

I play blackflys this week and I can only imagine how many points he's gonna put up https://mfn2.myfootballnow.com/box/view/5168 lol. Jacksonville played you close but I think that was a fluke. otherwise my season has gone well.

Ya it should be a good game next week Tampa .,
Wow punisher has completed over 100 seasons on this game. Are you still covinced a 27 rated CB with 84 speed can cover . I don't understand how that could happen . 106-0 is maybe the worst loss in history.
