He cares.

He'll look at the play separators all throughout the history of MFN, different eras and versions. It mattered more then as bench marks along the way than it does now due to if a discord guy eyes it, 15 more will have it in their repertoire within a week.

Example:

The Goal-Line Outside Runs got turned inward a long time ago when he saw they were hitting for too much, too often.

I've chattered about each thing along the way, I won't recall it now but I haven't been bashful on calling out changes.

I've had to completely erase entire strategies and take new approaches many many times in reaction to JDB moves and that's fine I like a challenge.

I did the same here each year when you challenged me with the restrictive rules...v4.5, right and each year got tougher and I did it.



Again the goal line outside runs got changed based on overall average...not 1 or 2 owners exploiting it.

That's why FL HITCH got changed...overall average along with the 46 defensive plays.

He isn't out to stop Smirt...he is adjusting a play that averages too much across all MFN.

I'll say this, though....

Over the course of MFN history, the town criers and PM Warriors would be more apt to hit him up with a 'you have to put a stop to this' about me than a normal GM.

I wonder why the CF and Title Game - death sim nerf became a thing I kept triggering over and over and over and over and over....

I also repeat again....in leagues all are still active which you have owned a team circa August.

TOTAL
SEASONS: 193
CONFERENCE CHAMPION: 61 (31.6%)
LEAGUE CHAMPION: 43 (22.3%)

That means his record in Title games among current active leagues is:

43-18 (.705)

These numbers are from some leagues that date back to the beginning of MFN!!!
Not some current trend or recent Title wins although they are included in the whole number.

These are facts....period.

If you want to say every league that died had you go 57-200 in Title games....that's fine but I find it hard to believe.

Reality versus perception!!

When you win, you expect to win and move on quickly.

When you lose, it stays with you are & grows larger in your head!!!

I don't you remember who you beat in your 4 XFL Title wins but the lose to A.I. run Zehlendorf after Grandadb got booted is still fresh!!!!

In a nutshell, you play this game fueled by emotion and react in the forums accordingly. I rarely jump to assumptions and based my opinion on facts which I often research.

Armoredgiraffe has access to the code and Hammond is Bryson returned is emotional responses based on losing.

Grandadb cheated by using the punt block exploit was researched and proven true.

Boogie and Jandreau were the same owner was fact checked with tribewriter who received an email from boogie from an email account with the name Jandreau@something.com & crossed checked via PM with JDB that both owners used the same IP.

You feel things
I research things

If you want to keep believing you are being personally attacked by JDB based on other owner comments...there is nothing I can do to change your mind.

Just like I find the idea that JDB would sabotage his own game data in some effort to prevent you from winning anything in any league that means ZERO to JDB is nonsense.

And the proof is simple....if JDB wanted to sabotage you then you wouldn't win anything ever no matter how smart & brilliant you are at the game....he holds all the cards!!!!

I'm not going back & forth anymore about it because it's clearly a waste of my time & yours!!!

But if you really believe JDB is involved in some master conspiracy to stop you by using a death code when you play a Title game and gives other owners access to the code as a means to stop you.....Quit!!!!

Set up a new account with a different email and use a VPN and prove me wrong

With v4.6 the death sim as you coined it for 16-0 CF and Final teams slowed up. They're few and far between. It must have altered alongside the zone defense negative familiarity and the running over-power replacing it. Prior to v4.6 the death sim was much more prevalent.

Only recent example I can point to is the D & D Title Game. It was steeped in no reality and resembled about 100 of my pre-v4.6 title games.

You do realize you are talking about a D&D Tilte game where you were 13-3 & your opponent was 16-0 2 seasons ago....right?

So that doesn't make sense based on your theory...Armoredgiraffe would have been nerfed in that case.

And I don't get the sense of entitlement based on a great regular season....you are facing the absolute best owners in the postseason, especially the Title game.

Dude, you are highly successful and win a ton of games, playoff games & Titles. Luck plays a factor and there is no great conspiracy.

In that D&D Title game you had the 2nd ranked offense and 5th ranked defense facing the #1 offense and #2 defense. You had a +343 point differential and he had a +500 point differential that season. He scored 55 more points then you and allowed 102 less points.

So based on every statistical measurement, wins, total offense, total defense, points scored, points allowed & points differential...your opponent was better yet to you its unrealistic?

Dude, you just have to accept there are some great owners playing the game, a newer breed of younger owners using data analytics to improve much faster then I did.

Tip your hat....it's made the game better!!!

Look at the NXC in the XFL!

It's loaded and if you or I can actually make it out of the AXC (No guarantees there) we will be hard pressed to win it all!!!

While many are lamenting the state of MFN in general.....personally I find the level of elite competition the highest its been in ages. Gone are the days when 1-2 owners will dominate a league for 5-10 seasons.

Cheer up!!! It's a great time to be playing MFN and you are still relevant my friend so enjoy it!!!

Ugh analytics lol ruining football in real life and in sim life. Give me an old-school smash-mouth sim with real strategic game planning, not a spam-fest.

I like you CJ, but this isn’t analytics, it’s copycat (not AG specifically). Sure, there are probably 3-4 owners I can think of that put in the time, but the majority just end up copying. 4.6 has only made it easier. It is what it is.

I recently had to plow through three spammers to win my first LC. Absurd at this point. Give us an engine that allows for more flexibility and play use!

JDB can try and make MFN more integrated with phones and tablets all he wants, but he needs a better product. Period!

I stand by what I said.

That's my recent I hit off 13k passing in a season and Bryson mashes me in a Title Game - highlight game of BS.

It came out the gate from the very first play in a frenzy against me and didn't relent with MY best strategies and talent level on the field in place. I don't buy it. Didn't then, don't now.

Let me get the last word. LOL

Check the power rankings and I've seen all I need to see. Your position (CJ), mine plummeted and the AG strategy all pushed to the top. Over-powering the sim.

Back in the day, Bryson came upon the 100 strength on his own or got nudged but no one else knew about it. Hidden factor we could not nor in a million years detect.

This, within a week, got copied by 15-20 discord guys. Copy, copy, copy. Major difference, major problem.

Smirt, you won't have to worry about this soon enough.

https://electrosports.myfootballnow.com/community/1/7349?page=1#44323

You were right about GDB buzzing in JDB's ear.

I never knew about Bryson for the strength issue, I just always had it weighted high because I saw seth's 4.5 weights.
