Easily beaten with runs to the strong side + flats to the weak side.

There are so many owners in MFN now who are looking for those spam plays. I'm sure it was always like this to an extent, but it seems worse now.


Spamming one play will never be viable for anything other than the regular season. FZ was the best spammable play and in any decent league you would get trounced in playoffs if it was all you ran.

Agreed.

I see it as having high success through multiple games. I guess I generally would wonder why? Using the same play to hold teams under 3 ypac seems fairly significant.

More significant is that this owner seems to look for those types of plays, which is why I monitor his games. He was almost solely running olb zone before it got booted.

Oh and then let's also check out that pass success against same play.


Should also add it's my favorite of the 4-3 Normal Double WR# plays but it's gonna get overuse if spammed + all an opponent has to do is just call plays that beat it, which there are plenty. Same as against FZ, but even easier tbh

Understandable

Maybe I'm just noticing. Either way, happier to notice than not.

I feel you.

I think the bigger thing is that I don't think one can spam a play like FZ now. The alternatives are all inferior in some way, shape, or form.

Maybe in the second match I play against him he'll change his tune.

From my perspective...anyone relying on 1 defensive play, even the flat zone, is gonna lose to me.

It makes gameplanning very simple for me, especially in the postseason. I probably won't worry too much in the regular season and if I take a lose to it, it's just data for the postseason.

The plays removed weren't the problem and the negative play familiarity was a glitch which didn't impact results.

Bringing it up saves me a ton of time.

I feel subpar as I would have panicked to GP against it.

Again, I just review a lot. I don't know in depth intricacies about technical aspects. I saw that and it's semi effectiveness over two game span and it caught my attention.

Bruno, believe me too I checked the game against you. Currently thinking of how I don't have time to GP against you in two leagues.

It's a very good play for sure, just not something you can spam

It's honestly more surprising to me that he didn't get a play overuse call until the 4th quarter. Not sure why you're calling it an exploit though

arscola set this off?

Yeah, he's a prickly ****. Decided to come for me in the same vain as B.I.G. and then posted a deep defensive guide in the league's forum where the energy was obvious - GDB-like (think when the a-hole posted a deep look at my game plan before a Conference Final game with Hammond I think in PFL to put me at a severe disadvantage) to get all the other owners more competitive to give me sh*t.

Not surprised he fed off that and became a 1-streamer.
