I'm just venting.

My Villain Origin story aka why I'm the modern day Tom Sawyer....mean mean stride.

Example x1000 over the years.

You require me to do a season set up and 4 preseason game scouting situations and then you have the audacity to strafe both my lines in Preseason Game #4 with your injury rate of 100%. Um, No. (MFN-31)

I've already promised in league chat to conjure up the anger to end the upcoming AI opponent due to the hours of work disrespected.

Maybe for our next open team we could invite Smirt's new best friend Mr. Football? https://mfn74.myfootballnow.com/forums/1/940?page=1#1512

*LOL*

CJ would grow tired of him quickly. Chronic and constant complainer, little knowledge of the game who throws hissy fits watching others win.

The Bam Hammer would come out quickly!

You're probably right but it would be a fun 2 weeks

Sorry to go back to o linemen again, but I had another question about overrides.

If you have a lineman who's great at one skill and terrible at another (think of a tackle with 97 pass blocking and 26 run blocking), how do you "hide" him? Do you plug him into specific formations and then only select pass plays for that formation? I know it's ideal to have 90-100 ratings for both skills, but is it worth it to have these specialists? Or do they take up a roster spot you could spend on someone who's more versatile? Same general question for guards who are great run blockers but can't pass block. Thanks.

My personal belief, poor run blockers > poor pass blockers. Taking a sack is generally a 6 yard loss and much more difficult to overcome than a run getting stopped at the LoS. And in 4.6, run blocking works even if your OL run blocking is somewhat low as your RB should hit the hole quick enough to not have to worry about DL impacting the run. The only position I'm comfortable putting someone with poor PB is LG because that's the only position that doesn't have a DL head up on them on pass plays. They only pass block if your opponent is blitzing.

Personally, I try to not roster a single OL with less than 80 pass block, 40 speed, and 40 acceleration

I've looked at speed and acceleration more for run blocking guards, so maybe I'm doing that wrong.

I read a note from Fred about player attributes (maybe in USFL?) that strength is far overvalued for o linemen and blocking technique is king over everything else. I've been been trying to break myself of the strength habit and look for the 33 year old 50 strength 100 blocking guys to see if I can notice the difference.

If your tackle has too low speed/acceleration they will give up too many sacks to fast pass rushers. I agree that strength is overvalued but I think there it is beneficial to have higher strength rather than lower

O-LINE

PASS BLOCK 100
RUN BLOCK 100
SPEED 10
ACCELETATION 10
STRENGTH 10
DISCIPLINE 1
INTELLIGENCE 1 (CENTER 5)

This is basically how My weights are for offensive line with some minor adjustments for tackles and guards

Well, the cheater was active on 8/4 and 8/5, which depletes my energy level because the one thing you can't do anything about is the Ultimate Cheater rigging. I disagree with my MFN-23 and especially the MFN-31 result from over the weekend.

Mmm, I'll get pissed off for now but if I determine that he's way too involved....
