XPs

2040 (8 games)
Missed 8 total
2039
Missed 18 total
2038
Missed 18 total
2037 (4.5)
Missed 20 total
2036
Missed 30 total

To be fair, 2036 was wide-open 4.5 and more offense, more points and more attempts....2037 was play count limits so even though it was 4.5, less offense and less attempts. 2038-2040 is 4.6 and all that entails with limited offense and less XP attempts plus Dakota adapted Buffalo's 2 point conversion tactics which made the attempts fewer still.

Ok. I obviously know the game or I wouldn't be successful.

I will continue to approach each and every game as a personal affront until I've broken enough records or punched through enough with player and team results to be left alone and respected.

Interesting stats, CJ. At least it shows me I’m doing the right thing by kicking field goals despite having an average kicker.

Smirt, you’re definitely respected but I don’t know if you’ll ever be left alone. Success will do that.

Well, this thread certainly raised some eyebrows. Thank you for the in-depth analysis Smirt/CJ!

I've been playing with stats since I was 10 years old and playing Statis-Pro baseball with my friends. Its a card based baseball simulation where you play each game, set your lineup as each player had his own card and flipped a deck of fast action cards one by one to get each batters result.

You would keep score with a scorecard then after playing 20-30 games...I would figure out every players batting average, homeruns, ERA etc etc.

I would eventually goto college and get a degree in Statistics before serving in the military and eventually landing a government job where all I do is compile and analyze data.

Statistics is my first passion and sorting them to find trends and predict outcomes has becomes my life's work so MFN is my escape from those realities at work and a way to enjoy the stats without any consequences.

If sharing any stats is disrespectful then whoever is disrespected is in the wrong league. Check the forums....that's all their is!

I think after dispersal drafts it's especially tough with FGs because your kick holder and long snapper will have low position exp.

Personal bias only but I have had several 100/100 kickers miss FGs when introducing a new kick holder and or long snapper

I'm seriously tired of the whole "disrespect" thing!!!

I respect Smirt and have said 1 million times in 100s of forums....Smirt is the best!!!!....but it doesn't mean you are perfect and it doesn't mean you can't get better.

I make mistakes all the time and I learn from them....I wish Smirt would tell me some of what I doing wrong and how to fix it.

Dammit man!!!! Trying to be nice and help and I'm basically made to feel like a disrespectful asshole because Smirt gets offended.

Dude, fieldgoals are for losers like me....don't listen to me or believe the stats.....JDB DID nerf fieldgoals and going for it on 4th and 7 from the 9 is the right call....ALWAYS GO FOR 6!!!!

That's why you are #1!!!!

Professional Football League/Death & Destruction. In that era the kicker creation was weak and very limited on availability. I don't know if it continued with each Dispersal Draft or for how long but in those 2 Leagues maybe 10 at best could get a legitimate kicker; kick holder and long snapper not factoring in.

During that era, I recall the kicking to be jacked everywhere. You have to remember the majority of kickers in the XFL are pinned @ 100 in accuracy and strength. No daylight.

Could have been rev'd up nerfing while we all figured out the new engine, v4.6, playing it wrong and getting bad dice rolls and/or JDB wanted to muck the game up at the time and then pulled off the idea.

Dispersal drafts with kickers were definitely manipulated into forcing you with daylight accuracy guys designed for misses and engine rev ups against you upon the miss.

....

Going way back I took like 4 Ls in Any Given Sunday during a season due to a poor kicker I couldn't improve upon. Came into the league, it had pitiful K stocking and I was stuck. I dominated in strategy but took Ls since I either couldn't kick or I did, missed and got the engine revved up to take me out. I vowed then to never go out like a b*tch, therefore, my aggressive strategy.

Plus, (I left the league due to it) I wasn't going to give the sacrificial Lamba the cheap satisfaction of me taking weak *** Ls with something out of my control.
