Last time: The punt exploit bug IS fixed. You may line up every player in any blocking position and have a guy with decent punt abilities and the punt won't be blocked most of the time.
Your Kicker had no punt abilties at all and so he was blocked. There might even had been a slow DT on the wings who would have caught your dummy punter.

Get a Center with nearly no Passing abilities as QB and then complain about 100 Intercepts or no completed pass.

Redundant

Dropped this in the General Forum and PM'ed it to JDB: https://bigdata.myfootballnow.com/community/1/7128?page=1&x=C1q3EhnEkV#43077

Ain't 4.6 fun!!!

No, and it hasn't changed in the year that I pointed out all these problems in beta and was ignored.

I posted the below in JDB's release thread and was attacked by the 4.6 Defenders and otherwise ignored

3 FULL SEASONS USING BETA IN MFN-1 AND LEAUGUE OF LEGENDS

NO 4,000 YARD PASSERS
NO 30 TD PASSES

THANKS FOR RELEASING A VERSION THAT TAKES THE FUN OUT OF THE GAME!!!

IN 2020, THE NFL HAD WELL OVER 12,000 TOTAL POINTS SCORES.

ON AVERAGE, 4.5 PRODUCED SEASONS WITH 10,000 POINTS SCORED. THATS IN LINE WITH THE NFL IN 1998

ON AVERAGE, 4.6 PRODUCED SEASONS WITH 8,000 POINTS SCORED. THATS IN LINE WITH THE NFL IN 1978.

DO EVERYONE A FAVOR AND REMAIN THIS GAME TO "MY FOOTBALL BACK THEN" OR "OLDTIME FOOTBALL"

I QUIT 5 LEAGUES LAST NIGHT IN ANTICIPATION OF THE 4.6 RELEASE. YOU TOOK A POLL IN MFN-1, SHOULD BETA BE RELEASED AND 8 YES VOTES WON??? THATS NOT EVEN A QUARTER OF THAT LEAGUE!

RINGING ENDORSEMENT FOR A VERSION THAT PUTS SHACKLES ON THE PASSING GAME WHEN IT CLEARLY NEEDED TO BE OPENED UP MORE!!!

IVE SPENT 1000'S OF HOURS OVER THE LAST 4 YEARS PLAYING THIS GAME, SPENT 100'S OF DOLLARS ON CREDITS ALL THE WHILE CREATING LEAGUES AND PROMOTING THEM WITH ADDED CONTENT.

IM STAYING IN MY 2 TWENTY SEASON LEAGUES BECAUSE OF ALL THE TIME AND EFFORT IVE PUT INTO THEM AND ALSO SO I HAVE A FRONT ROW SEAT TO WATCH MFN BURN.

I PREDICT A MASS EXODUS ONCE OWNERS REALIZE THEY CANT PASS THE BALL ANYMORE.

IM SURE I WILL GET ATTACKED FOR THIS POST, AND HONESTLY COULD CARE LESS. JDB IS MAKING A MISTAKE RELEASING A VERSION THAT ADDRESSED SOME CONCERNS BUT SHUTS DOWN THE PASSING OFFENSE.

NO PATRICK MAHOMES, LAMAR JACKSON, JUSTIN HERBERT, RUSSELL WILSON OR EVEN OLD TOM BRADY TYPE QB NUMBERS OR ANYTHING CLOSE TO THEM!

ITS LIKE THE PROPONENTS OF 4.6 AND THE DEVELOPER OF THE GAME HAVENT WATCHED A NFL GAME IN YEARS!!

IM SAD BECAUSE IVE TRULY LOVED THIS GAME AND ITS HELPED ME AND OTHERS GET THROUGH SOME TOUGH TIMES BY BEING A FUN ESCAPE.

ENJOY THE NEW OLD TIME FOOTBALL GAME EVERYONE

Victory - I had the weapons to do damage and it kept me in check with injuries; wouldn't allow me to have full run with my Big 3 to push through the sim engine threshold and thus kept me contained.

Big Data - I wanted to give it no excuse and it's no secret I threw draft picks at attaining and filling voids...getting full red bar dominating play makers. All that said I'm leading the league with a paltry 283 passing yards per game and that's only due to 2 strategy mistake bombs last game. I've got 3 losses. Lets not front. With my abilities and how I went out of my way to stack talent I should be at 0 and at most 1 loss. I adjust and will adjust but passing wise - mmm it's brutal and nearly getting cordoned off to only short passes with 66% unusable. (med/long)

It's insane to me that many people, including myself, have just taken out a 5th of the playbook and do not call long passes. There weren't many long passes I used previously, but the option is almost taken from you. 50/50 chance of a sack or a drop if you call one

I thought college would eventually force me to stop playing but the game is just not fun in it's current state

This. I have no problems adjusting game plans, and I like to do different things depending on what my roster looks like, but right now the game is too limited to really be enjoyable for anyone.

Last game in Big Data, I shredded wareagle, holding his team to negative yardage. That game should have never happened. Wareagle is a good owner and game planner, but because offense is so limited, I could run a key on play defense and he couldn't move the ball.

4.6 actually amplified everything everyone hated about 4.5. If you run a Flat Zone defense against every formation, your opponent won't be able to throw against you at all. You'll get shredded in the run game, but most owners aren't disciplined to (or want to) run the pound it every down game plan. But the real reason that the FZ doesn't just get smoked by a passing offense is that you can't throw over the top of it. Realistically, you beat a defense like the FZ by sending your X and Y on deep go routes or your TE on a deep post every down and see if the CBs can hold up while being on an island.

I just opted not to use Slot Out as I prepared for a Preseason Game #1 even though it had previously done significant damage because a) it'd be the only long pass I could attempt to use and b) I didn't want to risk the negative results. That's a somewhat exclusive/limited/advantage based play I had to walk away from because I like to win and I'm not even gonna f*** with a single long pass.


Slot Out
Personnel: 2RB/1TE/2WR
Play Type: Long Pass
Avg Per Call: 7.4
Times Called: 236

32 Games - my only long pass in that span.
