Move To Game Engine V 0.4.4 Immediately?

Yes, begin 4.4 immediately

No, wait until next season for 4.4

Everyone should review this thread: https://rivals.myfootballnow.com/forums/1/63?page=1

It includes details on how to adjust your game plans for 0.4.4.

For those owners who haven't experienced it yet. It will be a painful transition. It can be done, but it is painful.

I know there's going to be changes to my gameplan when a new version comes out, but I never thought I would have to scrap the whole thing.

I gained 15 yards for the game and was sacked 13 times. I gained a quarter-yard per play.

On the other hand, seth, who has at least some knowledge of 4.4, gained 163 yards and was sacked 11 times.

To summarize: The two-time defending league champ and one of the best owners that has at least seen 4.4 gained 178 total yards and 24 sacks.

Don't take this as me b*tching, just pointing out how different the new code is. This and Rivals will be my beta leagues. Looking forward to the challenge :)

The issue is we have one influencer whom was pushing for the methodical style offense (slowly work down the field, be content with small yardage gains) and the other influencer has been pushing for equality, parity and the muting of large yardage gains.

Sprinkle in the sack invasion and yeah, good luck moving the ball.

I am this guy, and to be fair, this is ABSOLUTE NOT what I was doing. It is my play style, and I tested it, but I spend most of my time looking at things OTHER than what my game plan is actually calling.

Things like pass blocking, QB timing, defensive coverage ... basically everything that applies to everyone.

I also spent about 6 hours this weekend doing nothing but breaking down plays and pass blocking until I figured out what was going on.

But don't worry because I'm done spending any of my time making the game more enjoyable for anyone else. I'm only here to win now.

Correct and the other is Ray.


And, yes, you're here to win now since the game has been burned to the ground. I like you and I appreciate your work. I don't want to get into anything but when I see so much go down that's frustrating it is probably better I abandon and bounce because it is hard for me to keep my mouth shut amid frustration.
