I'd prefer to let people think it's all about speed, though. It makes them easier to beat with an inferior roster.

Just going to highlight one example here. Zielinski isn't on the roster because that one carry per game is going to make a difference. He's on the roster because of 91 run blocking ability.

Of his seven runs, 24 yards came on the final play of a 44-3 blowout.

LDE William Downing

77 speed
79 acceleration

And Downing is here because of his?

WLB Tommy Seymour
Default rating 21/37

74 speed
83 acceleration
9 tackle
10 strip ball
8 pass rush

6 starts at SS with 30 tackles, 7 knockdowns 2 INT and one a pick 6.

These 4 corners are all here because of ?

Cant be speed because Im wrong so it must be something else....hmmmmm

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I joined MFN to play a roster management sim where I take over a francise....draft, sign free agents and manage the salary cap. I wanted something that closely mimicked the NFL and MFN is the closest sim I've found that accomplishes that.

When roster only came out, I thought great, just put together the roster and let the A.I. run the games but unfortunately the A.I. can't game manage so rules are necessary and I like the idea of controlling the play matrix.

The problem is too many owners are too smart and have figured out loopholes and shortcuts which screw with roster construction and the actual importance of complete players....yes speed is overpowered!

Everyone can blow all the smoke they want about how speed isn't the single most important attribute in the game and believe them if you want but a 96 speed CB playing RB proves it matters.

Infinity is a great gameplanner and I'm sure he does all types of brilliant gameplanning and rule making but the facts are his team has 15 players over 90 speed, another 14 over 80 and 12 more over 70...thats 41 of his 53 with good to great speed.

I personally would like other attributes to matter more. A 96 speed CB playing RB at 190 pounds should be prone to injury....his lack of any ball carry and break tackle should put limits on his success.

276 pound LDEs with 75 speed should exist but if their tackle, pass rush and run defense are in the teens...they should fail more often then not.

I love the rules in this league and the future rule....it makes this game more realistic....I like building my roster and competing but I dont want to build and compete based on taking advantage of the code....I want to build and compete based on real football.

I haven't even started on the overrides for Memphis yet. In fact, there's a whole lot that I haven't done yet with this team. To attain a level of detail that even approaches what IoT was doing is going to require a significant amount of study and time commitement on my part. I just emailed my boss at work about early retirement options.

Not going to go player by player with you, but I want to call attention to intentionally misleading information. Ramsey's potential m2m is 87. He's at SS because the 22 b&r would be a liability at CB. His poor zone coverage (which you don't even register?) means he should be subbed on sets where the SS plays a deep zone.

Don't forget that I traded for 60 speed Gordon Wong to make him my CB1.

We all joined because we like the idea of a sim that places emphasis on roster management.

Yes...Im intentionally showing his current ratings as it relates to his success.

You take all this like a personal attack, you are a great gameplanning, maybe the best but it doesn't change the problems this game has with speed being WAY more important then actual football skill.

Yes, your starting SS has a future 87 M2M along with 22 zone and 40 tackle. Shouldn't tackling be pretty important for every defensive player?

Speed makes up for it, same for CBs, LDE, DT, RDE, SLB, WLB, MLB, FS and SS....The faster your players are at every position...the better.

Of course everyone wants players with real football attributes along with the 90 speed but you can't find enough of those so filling out the roster and creating depth is hard.

But....you can maneuver around that and save money on the process by filling out the depth chart with speedy players with little to no actual football skill. That's great, you and others have figured it out.....genius awards to all of you. I'm jealous of you all and wish I could compete......BUT.....it doesnt make it right or a better game when borderline cut players rack up ridiculous stats based off a broken code when it comes to speed.

Stop taking it personal.....unless you created the gane code.....hats off to you for figuring out how to game the sim but I want the game to be better.

Thats the reason for rules, to actually make the weight of players relevant. At this rate, more rules will come until JDB starts addressing the problems.

I'm done.

If you wanna argue speed isn the single most important attribute....have fun.

If you wanna argue the game is perfect as is....have fun.

If you wanna argue you arent taken advantage of a broken code with said speed....have fun.

Is today Infinity on Trial appreciation day? Or was that yesterday. Let me know if it’s tomorrow too. Kudos to him for getting all this attention!!!

Its more of a going away present as he quit!

Quit? Again? Man, we were having fun in a few leagues he just joined. He has been a staple of MFN even before I joined.
