Is that what I asked you?

I've watched a lot of NFL and played a lot of Madden, but my focus have always been offense.

I don't really get the defensive gameplanning in this game.

Anyways, on topic: I wish I win in 8 hours. Would be my first ever league championship in my second ever MFN season... And it would stop Detroit from winning the first two seasons in a row.

..JDB would turn down the amount of turnovers with this current code. Many games are actually decided on who gets the most turnovers now, the chances of long, sustained drives are zero to none. Most likely if you advance far down the field, a turnover will happen. And if you have two great defenses in the game, the QBs are totaling 0 INTs, and like 10-15 INTs total for the game. That’s not very realistic.

...for the introduction of fake FG's and Punts....they can be game changers in big/tight games.

I clipped a bit in the quote, forgive me.

As I've mentioned elsewhere. It seems like the general reduction of player talent fixes that - or it might be that AGS (only league I play) is new. Either way; sure, we see turnovers, but almost never completely bonkers.

If you're in an older league, chances are that the teams are simply so much better and in reality "too good" for the match engine, which leads to these crazy games.

At least that's my impression, talking to other veteran owners.

I wish there was a setting for each player so if they get an injury in game but can return.....doesnt return.

Especially for preseason or at end of season if team has clinched playoffs


Been thinking about this a while: My thoughts are, ideally: For every game and for each position, be able to pick which body part (eg RB foot, WR hand) and then set (via slider) for do not return. (eg RB foot: 70).
In addition, for key positions (QB eg), knowing which hand / arm they throw with and which one is injured would be really nifty - same for running backs' carrying hand / arm, within the health tab. Dominant hand on details, and perhaps on the team homepage injury health list which hand etc. (eg Questionable (R hand) - 2 weeks).
Pretty simple to accomplish actually for JDB code wise, not sure, been a few years since I was deep in that stuff and things change quickly.

My wish is... adding the "Main - Section" at the bottom of forum pages as well.

I've been actually keeping a list (way too much free time) of hopefully simple to do ideas :)
I also cannot like every post in the thread enough, and this needs to be a sticky, imo.

I wish there was a couple days between seasons so you could take a deep breath and make a plan...

You could save offensive and defensive gameplans separately...
