I dont know how that articles NFL stats compares to MFN. It's got me curious now.
Ya I realize that it's a game. But it's more of a sim I would say. I know a game can be both too. But there are some football or sports games in general out there that are only just a game. It's good to have both and some peeps like to play both styles. For me, I prefer the game to lean a lot more towards a sim than towards just a game. Which is the only reason why I spend my time playing an online game/sim.
For others they would prefer more of a game experience. Thats kool too. Whatever floats our boats right? But changing a sim to be more like a game would ruin it for some of us who like that sim experience. Even as mind crushing as a sim can be. Oh and it can crush us into a pulp sometimes. lol
