Wow what a gridiron game we had against your Mmmmericans VikingFan.

Offense: 24/40
Defense: 22/30

The sliders for formations are very close together so not sure what's going on. I will fix my offense. It's frustrating cause there are good plays that coach is not calling.

Good game vcr of the Knights.

Offese: 32/40
Defense: 25/30

Yay, had more plays called by coach, but the result is that we lost the game. Ah dangit now that made me sound like an asshole and it was not intended. Ive lost plenty in this league and lots more in the other leagues where everyone can do what they want.

So constantly tweaking my offense to fulfill this diversity play thing when my offense doesn't do well on the plays that don't work. I also noticed that some folks here are still putting a fast WR at the TE position on the jumbo plays......and I thought we all agreed not to do that in this league. ....that Crack produces more big chunk yardage plays. So if Grampa doesn't even put up his numbers after the games anymore and half the people in this league don't follow the diversity and no WR at the TE positions, then why should it be the rule here?

OMG I'm so slow, it's not required now perhaps, but maybe an option in to help in cranking better future code or something.

GrandadB -

As our League Administrator, please weigh in. It is my understanding that teams should not be using WR at the TE position and should not be using WR at the RB position in this league. Is that correct? (There was a discussion awhile back when teams had all of their TE's injured or else had their only TE injured and it was noted that only a FB or an O-Lineman could fill in for a TE.)

I have always diversified my play and formation selection, but in my experience with MFN you cant select all 40 plays and even out the formations and get optimum performance out of your offense. Having 30 out of 40 selected is probably a fair range, with sliders keeping playcalling pretty spread out........ Maybe a play dont get called more than 6 to 8 times. Even if you have a play called 10 or more times, I believe the code will pull the overuse on you so it works out.... most times.

So if Grandpa is not weighing in here, and its all good because we all understand real life schedules are more important, then I propose the new and simplified rules here.

1. Forget needing to have all 40 and 30 plays selected. I believe this lowers the optimal performance of your offense/defense. Maybe for Offense have at least 30, and defense have at lease 20 selected and put your formations sliders however you want. I really think if you make a mistake and have a play called too many times, it will backfire on you.

2. I really like the No WR at the TE positions to get the mismatches, but I dont mind the WR switching to the RB position, or vice versa, as long as we actually switch their positions to the pertaining position. Some recievers **** at being a reciever, but might still have high ball carry and anti fumble abilities so that is a good conversion from WR to RB. Certain situations would be understandable.

What if you wanted to take a WR and train him at the TE position? Well spend a year or two, training camp, and season, locking their actual position in it.

Other than that, there is really not much more we can do until there is time to improve the play diversity, and or, workability via code and stuff.

What do yall think?
