Thanks for the response. Both happened against zone defense of all things. Both were preceded by holding penalties so I’m wondering if that has anything to do with it.

I should say it didn’t cost me the game but did cost me two drives inside opponent territory.


I want to say I read that there's some physics equation involved in fumbles. I feel like I see fumbles mostly from DBs getting a full head of steam while my RB is starting to break downhill


I'm not seeing this now, however, the defense would be in a wrong call - Quarter alignment - with an RB free and clear like a locomotive up the middle - hit the 2nd level where the DBs reside and BAM the ball would jar loose. Quarter, Pass Key.

I'd see it a lot but that was awhile back.

Negative play familiarity. I -believe- in the Da Balla game in MFN-23 as the game went on I started to fumble and get penalized.


That’s a good point. I’ll look into it.

Ah, so both were negative. One -7 the other -13.

I would like to see the results of JDB fixing the code to allow my offense to get play familiarity with plays that are called so often, instead of my offense getting negative play familiarity.

But if I really want it then I should code my own football sim lol

Lol go for it! I agree, though, there needs to be a new mechanism for familiarity.

I think familiarity is fine as is other than the fact if you call a play so many times the other team unlearns it essentially

The cowardly GrandadB posted an active Private Messaging thread he has with JDB about my strategies. It can be found in the Professional Football League forum.

JDB, at minimum, has vowed to restrict over-rides. I'd expect it to be from between what we have now and Roster Only on the spectrum. I'm sure there will be more.

Due to the targeting, I'll be more than likely leaving MFN. Wait and see, for now, if my games get disrupted and/or what mess JDB causes with mine and your hard - hours and hours - of work in the over-ride fields.

I don't even mind trying to make the game more realistic with any limiting of overrides, there are just bigger issues, like Flat Zone no overuse penalties and mostly garbage draft classes (at least in TPM we pretty much have had only terrible ones), and, well, 4.6 as an update underwhelmed. Also just feels like GDB is being extra salty.

Yeah, which is why I won't give him extra ammunition or a look into my true strategies by debating him.

Draft Picks: Initially, I took it as a challenge when CJ told me you never trade, but then as time went on I realized I DO Pick 30-32 and there's nothing left at that point (for me, I have to be win now and I get everyone's best) due to JDB tanking draft classes. My trades are the nicest in the world...I hook up the other GM with gold mine picks and take Experience 7-9 back in play makers with limited time left.

...I forgot to mention....GDB, my man got caught logging into Billy Van's account and freely admits to logging into people's accounts to help them but I'm the bad guy. I've never sent JDB a PM. I fight within the game and work hard.

GDB can pitch him anything. I'll monitor what happens and make a decision.

Come on, JDB, two wrongs don’t make a right.

...and now JDB is active which = no bueno for me. I got to put it out of my mind and just lock in. The whole 'what's in your control, what isn't in your control' thing.

GDB is presenting to JDB what is not my normal game plan, but it's better for me to let GDB think I only run that defense. In a close game...

a lot, a lot different.
