Overtime Rules...Reg. Season vs Playoffs

The OT rules should be different for the post season as per the 2022 NFL rule change and this is not the case for the just completed Conference Championship Game.

I'm hoping this is just a bug and not an oversight. Not sure exactly where to post this as I'm on 2 hours sleep, and I originally posted it here https://usflwfl.myfootballnow.com/community/1/7539?page=1#45447

If I owned the team that lost without getting the ball, I'd be a lot more upset than I am currently.

It's an NFL sim using real NFL team names, and while we're on the subject, JDB should fix that too. He did fix it so there are 14 playoff teams instead of 12, so we should also do the 17 game schedule and use the correct OT rules...and use NFL tiebreakers, somewhere along the tiebreaker list MNF diverges and goes on point differential, not common opponents.

MFN does not use real NFL team names. it is not an NFL sim it is an american football sim. i dont work for MFN.....jus saying.....licenses and lawyers. it is very coincidental that all of the cities and colors match

no names tho. any names or logos you see were put there by users who purchased credits to customize


hope it stays at 16 games....17 games is stooooopid. and so are thursday night games. i dont see a reason to mimic nfl rules at all....MFN is its own thing

i vote that safeties should be worth 6 points! less than a field goal for pinning someone in their own zone is lame
