Another great show CJ! I also can agree with your rant about the complaints on the game engine. I remember in version 2.0 when I was just getting started I discovered that I was losing a lot of games because of defects in the game engine, namely that formation IQ meant nothing and that I was wasting my practice time on it. What I learned was that the teams in the know were taking advantage of that flaw to win against coaches who were in the dark, bing, the light bulb comes on. If you see a flaw or if you figure out an attribute of the game engine that few others know about then don't cry, include it in your game plan and take advantage of it. That has recently been shown by the coaches that figured out how TE's and RB's were being covered by the secondary on pass routes, they used their knowledge to annihilate coaches with no understanding of how the engine worked. I think that it also led to the fatigue adjustment, if there has been one, by the WIS staff to the game engine. For a short period of time certain coaches were able to wear out DB's and overload them to win games with deep passes, I'm not going to go into how that worked but I can say that I have not seen that technique used in a long time. So the moral is, if you see a flaw it is probably not a bad thing for you, just figure out how to convert that knowledge into wins by taking advantage of it in your game planning. That is also probably the fastest way to get major flaws in the engine repaired, lopsided wins by inferior teams draws a lot of attention.
