Also there will always be outlier years for a qb just like in real life. Take Andrew luck and Ryan fitztragic two years ago. Luck was awful but his "ratings" would say otherwise. Fitztragic had a career year that year but was he really that good? His accuracy and arm strength is terrible and he just got the lucky charm that season. I think it'll take a couple seasons to really see how the new engine works


I can respect that. What was the 2 things that hurt luck tho? Injuries and one of the worst O lines. Fitzpatrick is a good example. He did eventually choke it away at the end. He's a rare case tho. We will see in the next season or 2 what happens. If it's one or 2 outliers, I get it. Seems to be way to many right now though that it's the norm.

Yeah all we can do is wait and see at this point. I think league 86 will evaluate all of this at the end of the season

If your qb is traveling fast when he throws the ball he will be considerable more inaccurate . Pressure from defenders or covered guys willmproduce stats likre that.Just get better blockers/wrs, but it is coded in that way. It is the only down fall of a realfast qb

How have things been going for Drew Brees? How about Aaron Rodgers?

I think you can argue both sides here. IMO, there are several factors to consider as to why your (thought to be) great QB is sub-par - aside from the QB position not mimicking what you THINK it should.

MFN is its own game. Why does it have to be like anything else? Figure out what works. Win.

To call out the game like this, whether you did it so that your thread to get attention or not is bush-league. The game is NOT trash. If it was you'd have left a long time ago.

Honestly this is my favorite game and there are 3 major fixes I can think of that'd make it the best sim ever

1. Fewer sacks. Granted the update did lower them, but I still see the offensive line as incapable at protecting against the blitz.

2. Setting a primary wr secondary wr progression system on each play. U could exploit many matchup better this way, the tight end might not be useless, and running backs can be the ultimate dual threat nightmare. To go with this, setting specific coverage options for each game (this corner covers this wr) and some keying on receivers options would make gameplanning a whole lot more immersive.

3. Speed shouldn't be tied to weight. Imo it just has to be somewhat dependent but not fully.

These would make it awesome. But in no way is the game trash. I love it! Greatest mistake I ever made is finding this site in the first place lol. Like bryno said, it's a different game and requires separate strategy to succeed.

Terrible examples! Bree's up #s but doesn't get wins due to terrible D. Rodgers? Really? He fits my example perfectly! He puts up great stats with lesser WRs. Thanks for supporting my argument even if it was on accident.

If mfn wants to be its own game, then fine. Just don't want to see NFL comparisons then.

Love it! This is probably the best out there currently. I loved sportsims until their server crashed a few yrs ago and it died. Just because it's currently #1 doesn't mean we should settle.

In this game Tebow and Jamarcus Russell would battle for MVP

All I know is I have a QB in M-48. 100s everywhere. Can't help to throw INTs all day. When 4.1 comes next season, is expect that to change. However, as HCH said. Some guys are just better than others regardless of attributes. That's why some RBs with 60 ratings are as good as 90s and vice versa. I'm happy. Sometimes guys are ballers. Other times they are Ryan leaf.

Using Russell kind of destroys your point. Russell was basically 99 talent all the way around but never played like it.
