Nope, not a fan either, after reading the other forum. Might not even need to vote considering the early discussions don't favor a change. Just my two cents...


I'm not going to put it to a vote unless there is a groundswell of support in favor of it ... and that does not appear to be the case.

Pros:

1) The scores are closer.
2) Fewer sacks.

Cons:

1) Blitzing doesn't work.
2) Zone coverage is still worthless.
3) Short Passing is wonky. (Too many swing passes to the RB's & too many wide open drops)
4) Receivers still make spectacular catches in double & triple coverage.


In my opinion the bad terribly outweighs the good.

CrazyRazor, how do you know all this, considering no games have been played yet in the first Rosters Only league? Are you talking about V 4.3?

Yes. The League will be running V 0.4.3. That's bad enough when I can gameplan. I wouldn't dare let the AI run the plays with that **** out there. No way!

I think CrazyRazor is implying double jeopardy here. First, no control over the game plan. Second, a wacky engine. These combined multiply exponentially the chances of a wacky play call and/or a wacky result.

I guess it could be fun.......If you like unpredictability.

I prefer to gameplan, and I think my weakness is roster movement, but I'm definitely going to give it a try! The same few GM's always seem to dominate the gameplanning aspect, it should be interesting to see a 'new' style game...
