Yeah. I'm in 77 also. I figured if I F up that draft I'll have 78 to make up for it. If I F that up too then I guess I'll be the Cleveland Browns of MFN.

I've done 2 allocations at the same time before.

It's tough, especially once day 3 rolls around.

I've decided to hold off. I'm not joining any more leagues while they are still running the current version. The current code is largely just a competition to see who can do the best job handling the all-blitz defenses most people seem to be using. It's not very much fun right now seeing that week after week after week.

The reason that I've been signing up for allocation drafts (76 and 78 for instance) is so I can draft teams using my weights from MFN-1 so I'm ready for the new code roll out. I've started using weights in all leagues that will prepare for pass blocking updates and QB updates.

Yeah but you still have to go through at least one season on the old code.

I'm not interested in seeing any more of that than I already am.

It's usually mine, but I can't stomach watching 10-25 sack games most of the time. I'm more interested in seeing if I can scheme up offenses that complete 60-65% of my passes and utilize multiple WRs, TEs, and RBs. Most of these offense still lose to the throw long Madden offenses that are dominating the game, but whatever.

I'm in MFN 48 and 73. I guess I've been lucky not to play those teams that get 10-25 sacks. It's been a few seasons and I can't recall more than maybe 8 in a game? I haven't counted but in 48 my team is eh and no more than 4-5 game if that.

I sacked my opponent 18 times in 2 a few games ago and lost: https://mfn2.myfootballnow.com/box/view/5489

My team is pretty awful tho.

It's not just the sacks for me.

It's mainly the constant overuse of just a few plays with no significant repercussions for the offending team that bothers me the most, combined with people playing CBs on the DL (for example) simply because "it works" in the current code since weight isn't much of a factor, etc.

All of these items are being addressed in testing right now. I am still hopeful the changes will be meaningful and not just lip service. If the next version doesn't take care of these issues, I'm probably out.
