FWIW, I won the SB this season, going 15-1 and barely winning the title game. The plan is very beatable, and I think most of my ridiculous blowouts were against lesser talent teams that didnt adjust their D plan at all. This plan was setup to be a jerk. 2 point attempts every score, no matter what etc... running only 10% of the time regardless of the score.

Ive tried using the exact same plan on my other team in mfn2, and it failed miserably. I have a much better QB ratings wise and some great WR's but for some reason it didnt click. I think the mfn6 team was more of a perfect storm scenario. Hopefully changes will come soon to prevent the blitz and bomb mentality. But for now, just m2m it, play the pass and blitz.

you won the super bowl by 12 points i dont think 12 points is barely winning it now if it was 1 point or 2 points you won by then yes you did barely win it.

And you only had really 2 close games in 2030 preseason , regular season and postseason if you combine all 3.
Seattle Seahawks = https://mfn6.myfootballnow.com/team/view/24

those 2 close games that were decided by 7 points were against San Francisco and Tennessee both during the regular season
None of your preseason games were close
Ditto for your playoff games.

True, but the SB was much closer than it appears. I watch all of my games, and outside of AZ's beating us pretty handily in week 17, I think this was our second toughest game of the season. Im just trying to point out, this plan isnt a guarantee win or anything. It just puts up absurd numbers.

have to disagree i say it is somewhat a guaranteed win in that really out of the 2030 season where you played 23 games out of that only 2 games were close which you didnt lose and you only lost 1 game out of 23 games.

only way it would be more of a guaranteed win is if somehow every game you won by double or triple digits or that every game was over by halftime.

though i might be wrong about that guaranteed win but i do imagine that knowing people pretty much copy a successful owner if you start seeing everyone and their brother with that offense and defense gameplan then i think that proves my point even more .

That's in ONE League.

He says he had the exact same Game Plan in MFN-2 and it didn't work.

For it to be a Guaranteed Win it would have to work across multiple Leagues... hence him citing a 'Perfect Storm' in the League you keep referencing.

Welp three games in with the new code and QB Gagnon is sitting at 26% comp with 14 tds and 11 int. We're just getting destroyed on defense as well (160pts so far), and im not sure where thats coming from other than great field position from all the picks. I like it!

1st game 51-21 loss to San Francisco = https://mfn6.myfootballnow.com/box/view/6068
2nd game 73-38 loss to Green Bay = https://mfn6.myfootballnow.com/box/view/6081
3rd game 60-36 win over Dallas = https://mfn6.myfootballnow.com/box/view/6095

what is disturbing is that the winning team in each game has scored 51+ points in the wins awhile the losing team has scored 21+ points in those losses.

it comes to 184 points for the winning teams
it comes to 95 points for the losing teams
89 point differential

Have you considered trying to call any other play than a deep pass? It's hard to be sympathetic to your plight when you're calling basically only deep ***** every single snap.

I think youre misreading my post. This gameplan was originally an experiment, and i've left it intact from last season on purpose, not knowing if the changes to the engine were being implemented this season. They obviously have been and im posting the results. As I said, I like the changes very much. I'll switch up my plan at some point.

Don't know what you could do on defense, but with all the goal line attacks he's using on defense, why not run the Play-Action Tight-End Drag on every play against his defense? It's not like he can get all huffy about someone abusing a broken play considering he was using exploits himself.

You could also look at it like this: he's testing the engine to look for things that are broken. That's what you want testers to do.
