Good game and season New York.


GG Baltimore,

Not sure what happened exactly since I game planned for the exact D you threw at me. Either way, GG and good luck the rest of the way.

That was a weird game. Your HB almost had 300 yards in the first half!

My team made a good comeback and would have won if we could have stopped you on 4th and 30. Instead, broken tackle = GW TD.



How Meyer was still playing in the 4th Quarter amazed me. That's got to be close to a record for most sacks ever taken in a single MFN Game. Your speedy defense dominated my O-line and your blitz all game gameplan worked to your advantage many times. Thank god this is the beta league and you don't use this type of defense in all of your leagues.

If this happened in any other league, I probably would be contemplating leaving the game for a while. That's what the beta league is for though! Tough for you to lose on a breakaway TD after your D shut down my Passing attack.

Now let's see how much further these Cowboys can take it..


Just watching the first few plays. Dallas' LT misses every blocking assignment like this one: https://mfn1.myfootballnow.com/gamecenter/view/6323#1142759

Here's another example where he completely whiffs the block: https://mfn1.myfootballnow.com/gamecenter/view/6323#1142779

JDB - Is he missing these blocks because of lack of SP? The LT has good AC and Pass Block.



A slow T and a rookie T protected a garbage QB quit well in our game. Well he had intelligence and some good recievers. On the other hand games mvp Garry Gaskins had 4 tackles 3 sacks and two hurries vs my pass blocking young tackles. IDK cause Gaskins only had 100 speed and they had garbage DBs. Blitzers prevailed by taking up blockers and setting these jokers free to pressure my QB.

Note no scouting was done by my team. So I am up in the air on the latest switch of what takes what. Gaskins had 14 run defense and like 66 pass rush. No way.....should he be on a roster.


What? Not sure exactly what rays message says but no big deal

That's exactly why I'm doing it here. I'm hoping this will be addressed in a way that means I can not win playing like this. I still have my fingers crossed this will happen before my frustration gets the best of me and I leave, but it's not looking too good at the moment.


I think the fact that the running game did so well was because you were consistently in a pass key. I did turn up the increase of calling the wrong key a bit at some point during this cycle.

The plays that Setherick pointed out were almost certainly speed rushes given the difference in speed between the two players.

I'm encouraged that you lost your last 2 games, while I'd like to see how this goes over a bit larger sample size I do think that the success you had for most of the season has been neutralized to some extent. Please continue to run this game plan into next season, even if I decide to release 0.4.1, if it's still too strong I'll continue to work at neutralizing its overuse. Note too that I don't want to make it impossible to have success doing what you're doing - especially if your opponent has inferior talent and/or doesn't scout your team well - I do think that if you get scouted against well it can be beat. Look at this last game, the play you lost the game on was a hot read because you went to that play too often, which is the kind of effect I'm looking to achieve.

My team played well until the 4th Quarter started. We stuck a fork in ourselves with the fumble backed up in our territory.

In the end, Passing matters most and your team got that portion of the game perfected.

Good luck in the Championship game. And I saw you trying to pull a little trickery on me!

GG chinaski and great season.

Ya that was crazy. Seemed like everything was a breakaway.

At first glance the score for the championship game seemed crazy, and especially the stats - but, looking at the plays those long TD runs came from I wanted to bounce off of Chinaski to see how his game plan was set up.

At first blush it seems that the defense called on those breakaway TDs might have actually been a result of the updates to solve the blitz overuse advantag. They appear to all be on pass keys with a blitz that was used pretty consistently through the game. I don't know if chinaski was using the strategy that we've been trying to beat or not - which is why I'd like to hear his feedback on what he was thinking as he set up his game plan. How intentional was the pass key + heavy blitz? Also, I don't know if you can remember specifically what your scouting and gameplan was, Beercloud, but I'm interested to know if you scouted those defensive plays you had those breakaway runs against.
