I'm sorry to see you go, Moon :( and thomas, too.

I can see with my game against CJ, though, that if you get 32 game plans locked in with deep knowledge and determined - like the Queen song you'll be singing 'I want to break free.' I'd bet the vast majority of usfl games are a jam up inability to score points/move the ball as two proud-ful GMs bring the fury of their game plans at full tilt.

Man, this game was funny watching the engine try and discern the data CJ and I threw at it. Endless penalties and turnovers from each side.

If everyone was elite level I'd probably be out of the game pretty quickly.

Moon, I'd be willing to give you a nudge of assistance, guiding help.

I'll even log into your account and Billy Van magically transform you into a Bryson. j/k

I'd be willing to give you a little knowledge to get you past GMs more passively playing the game than you are.

He made a miscalculation.

You're an opponent whom is in Legend Killer mode like Randy Orton. You're not a jobber. I think he made an improper evaluation. He should have waited to see how it went against a non-contender. :(

Just checked the log. He forced 3 turnovers and was a few plays away on offense from making that a close game.

Its just that the season is only sixteen games long and i always seem to get behind the eight ball early. Less than a minute in and i was already a TD behind Blondie after turning the ball over. Lose two or three games early and im already looking at a long losing season. Ya'll been great in this league. Ill hang out a little longer in the new league and thanks for the offers to help Smirt. You guys are ok. You didnt do anything wrong Blondie by winning its what you're supposed to do and never in my losses am i personally angry at my opponent just disappointed in myself and the bounce of the ball. Ill cya in death and destruction.

I was wrong about MFN-2. I ate a 110-yard return TD but otherwise handled that league's version of Blondie (which I didn't expect to do): future dominator working hard at his craft.

I'll chill-lax in the future when I see jdavidbakr on a league chat, plopped down. I tend to view him as my biggest threat. lol

Moon,

I'm truly sorry to see you go. I've tried to help in the past and I guess I came off wrong in doing so. I know I'm not great at sharing my opinions and I never try to disrespect anyone when I do so but this type of communication can be difficult at times.

I'm glad you are gonna stick around in Death & Destruction and trust me the switch to version 4.6 has seriously made scoring points and moving the ball on offense difficult. You need the right type of players using the exact right plays to have any success. The new version has limited the ways to be successful in my opinion. At least in version 4.5, you had a few different ways to win and had more range in play calling. Yes, the FL hitch and HB flare were important but their were 20-30 other plays that has success.

Smirt,

I had no illusions I would win based on me using a rookie QB who is nowhere near developed enough for prime time. He is 26, 35 and 52 points away in 3 attributes before he reaches his potential. His 74 current pass accuracy definately led to 4 interceptions along with some bad luck. Hopefully, we meet again later after he gets to develop some more and gain some play knowledge.

It was a difficult decision to go with the rookie after Matson won a title but its a longterm solution and when better to make an uncomfortable switch then after winning a title?

Edit to add:

This was my biggest fear about the decision to prematurely switch to version 4.6....losing owners out of frustration... I knew this was coming and said so very publicly but of course "CAPTAIN DEFENDER" made it sound like sour grapes because I couldn't personally win using the new version.

What he and others fail to realize is I don't need to have personal success to enjoy this game. I enjoy seeing new owners win and experience winning Titles. My focus now and always has been to bring life into my leagues through all the extra content I add.

I'm an old dungeon master who used to create worlds and adventures for other people to explore with their characters. I love writing about these players and bringing them to life a little bit. This is a game and it's suppose to be fun and I think that gets lost sometimes. I don't want to think about the code and ways to beat the code...I want to play football!!!

I'll be honest, CJ, your leagues are without question my favorite leagues to be a part of. All the time and effort you put in building the world and keeping track of stats makes your leagues fun and engaging.

I'm sad to see two owners leaving already, just 3 games into the season, but I understand their decisions. As CJ said, a lot of us saw this coming.
