With the announcement today that all Leagues will switch to the new 0.4.6 Sim Engine at the end of the current season, I think it's appropriate to share what is known about changes to gameplay.

The Leagues I admin - Legends, Victory and the roster only Franchise Football have all been using the new 4.6 for a few seasons. Please take a look through these threads to see how things are likely to be.

Punt Blocks are very rare, whoever you line up to try and block. This is due to changes in the code for blocking - that therefore effects every play in the game.

Roster only has less effect than the standard leagues as it's tough to find loopholes to exploit. Gameplay looks a bit different and you need to pay more attention to secondary attributes. Speed is still vital to success but secondary attributes are much more relevant - in particular blocking attributes.

7 teams per conference for the playoffs.

As far as I know it is still a 16 week season as that has not changed so far.
