lol, love it.

I have a couple more tough games coming up. Losing RB-Vaughn possibly for the year isn't gonna help my cause to hold ya off. But then again I don't have to play Atlanta at the end of the regular season. Don't rest anyone GrandadB. lol


Hahahahahahahahahahaha -- I may win the season thanks to a glitch. You definitely own the head-to-head, but for some reason, I'm now first in the division. Woo!

Just got to beat grandadb and all the money my team has been kicking back to the commissioner will pay off!

All the places are now locked up BEFORE week 16, (not sure that's a good thing or not) so congratulations to all those that made post season. To those that didn't.....back to the drawing board!

Today I am excited to announce the release of the 0.4.2 game engine! This release is not as significant as the 0.4.1 release was, but does have some cool updates. Here is the list of the majors:

* Weekly Player Awards - players of the week, players of the year, all-time team, etc - all are now going to be generated by the engine.
* Players are now assigned a hidden 'frame' attribute, which is the weight their body will trend towards. The further away their goal weight is from their frame, the less likely they will achieve it.
* All draftable players now have a 'do not draft' checkbox that will prevent them from being drafted, even if your auto draft rules put him at the top of the list.
* Penalties on change of possession no longer remove stats before the penalty
* Diving tackles have been added to reduce the defender escort incidents
* Additional text about injuries if a player is expected to return
* Rookies will develop faster, and their camps should show more significant movement.
* When a team gets awarded a waiver wire player during a single sim, they will drop to the end of the queue. This will reduce the ability of the worst team from grabbing all available waiver wire players.
* Bug where runners were going directly to the sideline should be fixed.

All leagues will begin to use the new engine after they complete their current season. Because of the issues during the last release, no leagues who have already turned into a new season will be given this engine.

I may not be going to the playoffs but I'm happy to prevent the Donkeys from going as well.

Am really enjoying this league, not just because the Falcons have done well, that has been a bonus, but its nice to have "active" owners who are participating in posts, messages, trades, and game planning. Real nice job Gus, hope the Jets do real well for you in the playoffs and congrats to all who made it in. Gotta watch out for Seth and his Skins, nobody knows the game details and nuances any better, should be a fun and competitive playoffs with another fun season coming up. Special thanks again to Wolfkill, who did a remarkable job with Arizona after the draft damage done, I think you might of jinxed it when you posted about the first 2 wins, lol. And jouameng/Dallas, havnt seen any posts there, but if there is any way to cut them a break, make a trade that will help those two teams out, if it doesnt hurt your team, I hope you will. cheers all!

Thanks Gramps, yeah after the 'wreckers' tried to kill this league its fantastic that (so far) its been a success, which as you've said is all down to everyone in here, so a thank you from me too :)
Yeah we have some very experienced owners here that season to season will always be in the medals, as for the Jets.......we'll blow it all spectacularly, bit like RL

GG Seth/Skins, I was very, very fortunate to get the win by 3, thought we would be going to overtime, was surprised when you went for it on 4th and a couple of seconds left. I didnt think I had much of chance when the game started after forgetting to both scout & gameplan for it, got distracted this afternoon & evening and forgot all about it. So that was all on the previous game plan & players. No interceptions, which was a surprise. 7 holding penalties were a season high, but the sacks made up for the difference. Was also lucky that I didnt get more hot reads vs your goaline/122/221 pass plays. That wont happen next time we play, lol. I think that would have been the killer call on that last play. Cant believe I lost my best WR (Walker) for the playoffs, just saw that looking at the roster. Best of luck in the playoffs Seth. cheers, gdb

I'll have to see what happened on the 4th down play. Pretty sure that one of my offensive rules caught it. I'll need to revise that rule to 1-3Qs so that that doesn't happen again.

---

I've identified the playcalling problems in the 4Q, but I'm amiss still in how to fix it. I can't create a rule to kick a FG, so I'm going to have to use a combination of rules and hurry up mode, which makes me slightly nauseous.
