One of my main pet peeves about some of the comments I read in the forums.

MFN will NEVER be like the NFL, no matter what improvements are made to the code, and I am fine with that. It helps to think of it as a pro/semi-pro football simulation instead of an NFL simulation.

Why even the need to name it? We've all been playing long enough to recognize it as a football SIM. No comparison needed. Just learn the game as you go.

Understandable. If JDB and the top guys agree and want it like that, then I'll have to either **** it up and be fine with that or hope sportsims resurrects from the dead one day.

I like realism. If it's suppose to be understood that some things are going to be backward and not realistic, then I'll have to make a decision. Right now I am stuck on QBs because they dominate every NFL draft (80% of the talk is about finding that franchise QB not picks obviously), paid the highest $ and are the most important position.

Call it a semi-pro sim game and then I apologize for the title of the post.

I don't talk much because like everyone else, its just air,but I do read most things here! As I said over a year ago, this little piece of heaven is close to being on the sidelines, but we coach
with heart and our gut, you don't slap helmets here! My health took me from the action, but this game is keeping me alive and when I log in it says MYFOOTBALLNOW not NFL! I'm not wanting
to upset anyone here, I like all you owners old and new!

In this game jamarcus russell would have never been created. As Qbs revolve around 232 pounds. His weight was 265 at the time of the combine and ran a 4.83 fourty. That's about 88 speed or higher here.

He actually did decent at the wonderlick also scoring a 24 . ....I would like to think a 48 intelligence rating would suffice.

His arm strength would have been in 90 s with 90 potential in all throwing categories . Based on his sacks rates I would have his scramble below 25 and ball carry never reaching above the same number.

The same goes for pass release . ....he also would have 100 volatility that would have busted and nearly no formidable progression in the passing categories could have taken place due to an owner actively hiring coaches with the lowest possible QB related ratings.

To make any of this slightly plausible a desperate owner would have had to reach on him at the one spot and only after three mediocre seasons out of frustration convert him to right tackle only to watch him balloon up to 310 pounds ....even though here that would take nearly eight seasons not three or four.

Then after all that only one team would have to give him an hint of a chance that he could even make a pro roster for him to decide to compete vs. the draft class of four years later in the combines physical drills only to embarrass himself running a 5.22 fourty, 7 foot 4 broad jump and a 28 inch vertical . In other words a few years later he was about as athletic as a tackle.

So pretty much no JaMarcus Russell would never take place in this game.....here if he was created he would have been at worst converted to a 6 foot 6 running back after being released , but more likely a team could fill their roster with some talented wrs and he would have a decent career that pasted much longer .

Or a savey owner could make some rules that pick plays to throw to the speedy RBS only for them to beat several defenders who take ridiculously poor tackling angles and putting up even better passing numbers.

Qbs are getting closer to default rating values, but I got a dumb rb /qb that after this latest change I am yet to convert to RB. Even under the 4.1 code . Hopefully 4.2 will do a bit better , but under 4.0 I have a 15 accuracy QB throwing for over 300 yards a game.

When Brees was young he would hit garbage cans from 60 yards away.....there's no comparison . Favre could throw 75 yards from one knee. IDK.....someone would actively have to try to make a jamarcus russell.....even then the weight gain is impossible and no way you are ever finding a Tom Brady. Well maybe if you make 31 other dummies accounts that are all in the same league.

I'm in A-86 as well.

I had a 'bad qb' that was doing well on the big plays. I still Traded to Upgrade, and the difference is INSANE.

All you have to do is go to Fort Worth Player Stats to see the difference.
