It's my game by game point to the MFN Cancer thread and being unfairly thrown out of Private Leagues....

I'll bash around the Public Leagues like a pinata until I get my apologies from those individuals. :)

I respect your league. With each rule I changed whatever I had to be in alignment and to protect the sanctity of the XFL.

I really only use MFN leagues as sandboxes to try out new things and then, if something works, bring it over to leagues I actually care about.

I'm misunderstood. Private Leagues are rough for me. Going way back, Brain Dead Kid was working me on PM like we're best friends and blasting me on open forum and in his league chat. From there it's been down hill....

I love XFL.

In the Julia Childs documentary she talked about how Phil Donahue was mean to her in chat. When they interviewed Mauri Pouvich, Sally Jesse Raphael, Montel Williams, and Ricki Lake none of them gave a ****. Only Jerry Springer wanted to keep discussing it.

You don't want to be a Jerry.

F***, you think at some point these people would be like hmm, maybe I'll leave him alone. Could be a good idea. LOL

when i was a brand new guy at this game you were the only elite player who would give me the time of day smirt. All the others either tried to take me for a ride when it came to trades or ignored me altogether, beating those guys gives me a thrill especially the second bunch. I would like to beat you also but only because like fred says it would be a big accomplishment but i surely wouldn't rub it in

I got 24 in one game.

It requires a non-punter at position or a 60-80 punt timing. I'd say 80 is the max you can get at.

I had a QB #1 feeding me punt blocks @ Punter for the 24 punt block game. I was like 'more, please. I'll pretend it's the Admiral I'm blasting to Kingdom Come.' lol
you're merciless dude

I don't like 4.6 much but I'm trying to adapt but I would find no enjoyment from blocking 24 punts and winning 100-0 versus the A.I. because it doesn't mean anything, it's completely unrealistic and serves no purpose in moving my team forward in solving 4.6

I already have enough issues with the anemic passing stats in 4.6 and that game completed destroys any thoughts of reality in this football sim.

It might be fun to you but to me it's another tear in the fabric of what I'm trying to create/simulate in my leagues.

I would be sick if that happened in the XFL and had to deal with it on a much smaller scale with Grandad in the Conference Championship game.

seems like pass accuracy is way up in 4.6 though. My qb in beast mode has a 62 accuracy rating but has completed 71% of his passes in 9 games.

Yeah, like I do the reverse in trades: I feed GMs with tons of picks.

Thank you, btw, Moon.

...and I don't do Clone Wars. The aforementioned GDB I don't know where he begins and ends. That Billy Van/GDB log-in thread + his own comments says it all. I don't PM entire game plans to other players and share trade secrets.

Long passing (chunk plays) of 20 yards or more is down.

2036 XFL (4.5)
788 passes of 20 yards or more for season.
232 passes of 50 yards or more

2021 Big Data (4.6)
615 passes of 20 yards or more season.
96 passes of 50 yards or more

Long passes are down but can still be done in 4.6. It depends on the play. Essentially you need a good receiving back and a QB intelligent enough to go for the pass in the flat. It’s going to end up being a high risk/high reward to incorporate LPs into your game plan.

There are definitely nerf pass plays of all ranges that savvy owners will find.
