How does this work? is this a glitch? team with no RBs

RB is just a positional designation for players and for formations. However, through the depth chart and overrides any player can play any position regardless of the player's positional designation and the position they are set to play in the formation/play

For me, RB and WR are almost interchangeable positions. Many owners just set all of their offensive playmakers to WR.

Speed kills in this game and the lighter you make a player the more that advantage becomes apparent. Works on defense too.

Some dont have a problem with having all WRs for RB/FB/TE & WR, some do. Some dont have a problem with using only 5 defensive plays, some do. Some have played RL football, and some havnt. Roster Only leagues are around for several reasons, personally I think they remove too much of the team owner decision making involvement and control. However, there are some who only play RO because it reduces the time involved in game-planning, and uses a full 40/30 active play selection. The FCS League is in its first season, it is an attempt to get to a "halfway point" btw a regular league with no position or play selection rules and an RO. So far, its doing good and getting more variety in the play and game results. Want to increase speed at a position? You can still do that, by converting the player.

Fact is, not everyone wants to play "Optimum 4.6". Not only with the speed advantage/exploit, but also with the play selection. Not just my opinion, we have a full league that is more than happy with the effort and the co-operation of all involved. Dont see where thats so funny, now if your post is aimed at me personally, no problem, you can be a judgemental DH all u like, its an open forum and opinions are like AHs, and you are def an opinion.

Fact is, you barely answered the guys question. Idk why CJ commented what he did. I would have because instead of fully answering the persons question you just tried to high road other users and tell everyone how great your FCS league is where there's so much parity except the owners I would consider the best there are all still winning. Very varied game results indeed

I'm laughing because someone who has been caught cheating (breaking league custom rules) multiple times then says "

"I didn't realize"

"Honest mistake"

"Not intentional"

"Can't remember all the rules"

And I'm not talking about leagues where you were just an owner....I'm talking about a league where GDB was the league admin and wrote the rules.

GDB presents himself as helpful, caring and wanting the game to have more parity but deep down he hates losing and will do whatever he can to gain an advantage even if it means breaking rules.

Go ahead GDB, call me an asshole again and I will PM every owner in FCS will all the data collected by others about how you are "gaming" your own rules for an advantage.

You retreated when you were exposed the last time for cheating and you can do whatever you want in your new endeavor but now you are feeling salty and want to attack owners for winning a certain way. You aren't better then anyone because you cheat! Remember that so go back to your cult and stay there before you lose that too!

If FCS has so much parity then GDB is awful lucky since he is 13-3 and in the Title game. I wonder why!!! LMFAO

Let me make myself perfectly clear,

I have zero issues with the FCS league and applaud tye attempt. I've personally used similar custom rules for play usage in the XFL and had 2 league (General Manager league 1 & 2) which used very strict positional rules including a minimal weight for each position.

I enforced the rules which required 1 hour after every game to check all 32 teams. Unfortunately I suffered a stroke and had to give up admin duties in both those General Manager leagues and the person who took over ran them out of existence.

I had a situation years ago where I had a punt block rule in place. For those of you fairly new to the game, using a 90+ speed player (WR/CB) on the front four of the punt return team resulted in a crazy amount of punt blocks in version 4.5

That rule at the time was pretty standard across leagues because teams were getting 50 punt blocks a season. Anyway, everyone cooperated and punt blocks were removed from most leagues. Fast forward to the Conference championship game and in an incredible game team A won 63-56 over team B but team A used 4 90+ speed CBs on the punt return unit which resulted in a punt block for a TD.

A little investigation showed that during the regular season, team A never had "illegal" players on the defensive front four. At the start of the postseason, team A used nothing but "illegal" players during punt returns but unfortunately for everyone concerned, it wasn't until the CC game when team A finally got home and blocked a punt!

Now at that point what options did I have? Boot the offending owner which I eventually did but it doesn't help the owner who lost. I could have had JDB turn back the Sim but then the team that won the other conference would have been penalized making that not the fair solution.

After my stroke, I decided to remove custom rules from my leagues because I had to spent too much time checking compliance and enforcing them when all I really want to do is add extra content and write about my leagues. Basically rules aren't fun when you are league admin and I run leagues to have fun.

In the end, all the enforcing custom rules and all it takes is an owner willing to break a key rule then play innocent and the playing field isn't level at that point.

Besides, this is JDBs game and it's his responsibility to fix the holes in the game...not mine. I want to enjoy MFN without worrying about someone "cheating" so if their are no rules then nobody can cheat.

I play in leagues with positional rules and enjoy them because I'm not responsible for enforcing those rules and I have no issue following those rules. But I've learned in my nearly 6 years playing MFN is that a certain type of owner will push the limits of custom rules to see what he can get away with until that owner eventually disregards all custom rules with the goal of winning at all cost. It's the theory of asking for forgiveness after being caught instead of asking for permission first.

I wish FCS success but GDB isn't the man to rely on to lead such an endeavor. He has been CAUGHT four times in four different leagues breaking a leagues custom rules including a league where he was admin and wrote the rules. He is a proven cheater and continues to this day to deny it all after a ton of evidence was presented to him. He confidently blames the A.I. for creating the "illegal" thing for which he was caught doing. Ask yourself, does GDB sound like someone who doesn't know what he is doing?
