After our SB win against Denver there were talks of the FBI investigating the betting on the game for Gods sake. ANYWAY.....


Yes, if the Seahawks continue their dominance for another 5-7 years you can begin to consider them a dynasty. But a lot can happen in 5 years - can the defense continue being so great now that Dan Quinn is gone? Will they be able to pay the players enough to keep them around? Will opposing offenses solve the riddle to their defense like they did the Bears in the 80s? When a team is dominant the "dynasty" word gets thrown around. Maybe the Seahawks will sustain and become a dynasty, maybe they won't. You can make realistic predictions either way, but only time will tell who's right.

(This thread really should be in the "off topic" forum as it's sort of fallen off point :-) )

Definitely, at least to me.

As far as the Patriots are concerned, I don't think "spygate" or "deflate-gate" had any impact on the outcome of actual games played. I think 4 SB rings and 6 SB appearances in 13 years qualifies as a dynasty. That's nearly a SB every other year.

Well custom 10 draft looks pretty good, less kickers and punters, more of a "quarterback" position battle for the draft, and more of an abundance on MOST positions...

What is still a issue for me is the lack of cornerbacks, or at least semi good corners, in the draft. Being that the cornerback position is one of the most abundant position in real life drafts, I think there needs to be more of a probability of generating cornerbacks in the drafts. But other than that, the newly improved draft looks stellar JDB.

Yours guys thoughts?

I don't know if cornerbacks are that abundant in real life drafts; in fact, I think they're pretty uncommon. Not that it matters, because Revisesque players simply don't exist at the moment with the current engine, in terms of impact. I honestly can't tell hardly any difference between my team with multiple 90+ rated DBs and my ones without.

Agreed Ares. The last draft I had there were a total of 3, yes 3 CBs that even remotely looked like studs, I got the best one, (couldn't believe he fell that far!) and the others got snapped up soon after. The rest were just roster fillers.
The only difference I see with studs and non-studs is that the studs can play at a higher rate for longer, ie; PDs, INTs and tackles. But yes, the difference is minimal.

Aside from there being QBs in the top part of the draft pool (which is a welcome addition), I don't notice any difference at all in regards to an increase in the number of players projected to have a high ceiling (high potential rating).

Seems like the same old pool.

Pretty disappointing if you ask me.

I don't have 15 teams.

My user card shows all the teams I have ever had.

I'm currently in 10 leagues, although I plan to drop out of some of them at the end of the season.

You can join as many leagues as you want.

Wow! Thanks. I did not know that. Is a payment required to have multipule teams? And even more off subject do you think there is a toughest or most competitive league in MFN? I feel the one we are both in is pretty good. Well I am assuming a league that has been around for a while might have bunch of veteran players claiming to be the best. I would like to join a league like that, but I am enjoying only having one team right now. I was going to travel throughout leagues hoping to find the toughest, but perhaps you have some insight that could save me some time.

I can respond to that part: every day, if your credit is below 5, it goes back to 5, and you need 5 to enter a league. So everyday, if there is an available team in a league, you can join a new one.
