shark has just come off a 43 points allowed season, therefore, that structure and Infinity's will be a deep thicket of thorns to cut through.

So I can buy A.I. just keeping the last gamelan across MFN and Big Data isn't getting special treatment....you just have to scout A.I. teams now based on last owner

This will be my last season in Big Data. I joined because I thought I was going to get data on 4.6 but Seth got busy and now it's just another half full league.

Has anyone noticed if speed has become more equalized in 4.6? I was reading in a different forum that it *seemed* like 65-75 speed guys were now performing closer to 85 speed players. Didn't know if acceleration (or maybe even ball carry on offense) rather than just raw speed might be a the best attribute to look for instead of simply grabbing any player with 95 speed. Just curious.

Acceleration is how quickly they get up to speed while ball carry is how well they maintain speed. I like them all to be high.

100 ball carry will turbo boost 65-70 speed WRs @ RB.

Amped up ball carry is a turbo boost for lower speed.

That's why I was asking. I don't use WRs at RB (as much as I should?), but I have had 65 speed 88 acceleration 85 ball carry WRs score 75 yard touchdowns since nobody could catch them. I just figured a guy with below average raw speed would still get tracked down by the 85-90 speed DBs eventually.

Would a hypothetical 66 speed 88 acceleration 77 m2m CB perform better than expected with high acceleration too since he can at least get to the spot quickly to make a play?

CB #1, hide away.

I don't know but I'd hide him there with elite CBs @ 2 and 3 + back end speed CBs. High end coverage/speed mixture for the depth CBs + WRs elsewhere (not allowed here) to **** people off.

Elite WR implanted at the CB #5-#6 spot to troll a GDB into crying. LOL

Running the ball find a 90 speed 100 ball carry player and if he stays healthy he gets at least 1,500 yards.

I've had success with 82 speed 100 ball carry and even 74 speed with the Tribeca of ball carry, avoid fumble and break tackle.

At CB, I've had success with slower CBs but only if they have 100 m2m and 100 B&R or at least close enough.

Signing older 70 speed CBs with 100s across the board have become solid options too...M2M, B&R, Courage and Zone.

Of course you still want a 90 speed 100 M2M CB to combat the FL hitch even though it's been governed by 4.6.

Bottom line, I still think 90+ speed in overpowered and I've proven that in the Death & Destruction League where I have 40 players on the roster with at least 86 speed and I play an 11 DB defense....to be fair that league has zero injuries which helps but I'm 34-2 through almost 3 seasons

Update:

Cincinnati - AI, the cheater....tried to get me. I won 2-0 on a safety in Big Data. The other cheater, New York - A, B$Dog barely edged out 9-6.

72 accuracy, therefore, I'm not kicking FGs and revving up the engine. 1-runner system and I did further techniques to 'shut 'em down' Public Enemy style yet they hung in there. I know what I lack to take the title *more than likely* but it was nice to see the cheaters lose.
