This is making me reconsider trading for a prized cb. Wait what?

I speak in general terms about 4.6...I don't play you, Smirt, Infinity or Seth every game!!

I have 12-14 games a season against many Joe average Sixpack and that is to what I speak.

11 JAGs (just a guy) on defense will get the job done if you have enough weapons on offense to rush the ball and control the clock.

Smirt or (sub other elite owners here) might beat me every game in 4.6 but in some leagues that means I could still go 15-1 and if he is in the other conference make the Championship game and if I'm lucky he gets knocked off before then and I win it all!!!

My point!!!!

In allocation drafts draft as many playmakers as you can...do it in subsequent drafts too...trade for them or sign them as free agents

Factor in, too, that I stacked the deck. I went for the power, loaded up Tyson Tiger Uppercut.

I basically drafted full red bars and then traded 1st rounders for WRs. In theory, un-baked and un-seasoned defenders should have been overwhelmed and crushed.

I also contrasted with two converted TE to OL either running routes or mashin' on a run to soften the D up. I'll try any and all wild sh*t to beat the sim.

My mental approach is to get pissed at JDB and the changes. I'll channel all energy to not letting him win and then I get the other players blow back like jgcruz wetting himself in anger and putting in 100 positional rules or the True Fans guy to shove me out the door. lol

...and now I have **** on Earth but on a Conference Final level, pushing Infinity off as long as possible.

If my theory is right about a layered rushing attack with multiple playmakers is correct then I don't like you chances.

I honestly hope you win which would mean there is actually more then one way to win in 4.6

I guess we see in a few days

I think I'm f***ed if I play it as is. I haven't even looked. I sectioned it off until I deal with my other 3 games on this cycle.

If I feed him passing and 3 and outs I don't think I can win; especially if I turn it over in my own zone. He'll go yum yum and it's over. I didn't change for Wolveraider but saw his set-up was extremely strong. I thought he might beat me but the change needed to wait for Infinity, if I make it.

...and now to motivate myself. I got a non-punter to aim for 200 points on and a below 'like' as fuel. Mwah, thanks.

Im 2-6 in beast mode league with 82 points for an 96 points against. Thats 14 point differential. Oh well. 4.6 is set up to keep teams from being blown out. I out gained two teams that i lost to and then a series of bad things happened and i ended up losing. I should be 4-4. Only two teams i thought were better that i played. Prolly gonna be worse in this league. Hopefully i dont rant too much.

I figured out the work around-s and I broke the code depending upon how I play.

However, before I did I was taking L's to jobbers - a couple ridiculous L's in Big Data.

Out-gaining but it's how you out-gain. You come out and bang around the opposing D with a few FL Hitches and don't have a plan for later in the game the engine revs up in anger - halts you to a brick wall and eventually the other guy will sneak a magical win since you hit the wall and they get propelled due to your game plan disrespecting the engine.
