about the game is "no one is right/wrong". If what you think is right, that's what will make your solitaire time worth it. Essentially, no arguments and no one to dictate to you how to play - life is good!!!

We truly see the game of MF in so many different ways and that's why we all are right.

In my logic, I want some teams to be so dominate in one phase of the game and others to have superstar/HOFers who redefine their position that you will be able to see the effect of a broken leg on a defensive tackle which puts him out for 8 weeks or how a running game go from averaging 200 yards/game to 60 after a great back is lost for 4 weeks. Thus, you make some players 6.0 grams, perhaps 7.0 grams, or 4 grams! Who was frighting toyou as a player because he just dominated everybody?

I want to see the Steel Curtain be considered among the best defenses of all time only to lose Ernie Holmes with a broken tibula and then LC Greenwood for 5 weeks because of a quad-tear!

This will definitely change the makeup of the team. The playcalling will remain consistent as "The Box" will call the plays but players going down with injuries will make it a game of attrition.

With 100 plays during a game, there will be plenty of opportunity for things like this. It will be interesting to see the 5-man taxi squad being called up to replace these players. Obviously, some players will be "light in the pants" compared to the superstars they replace but the superstars are significantly better, which causes a big drop off.

This league will be centered around great runners such as Jim Brown, OJ, Sweetness, and the likes and some of the great defenses of my time such as the Steel Curtain, the Purple Pople Eaters and Gang Green.

You will always be robbing Peter to pay Paul in this style of play, meaning if your D-Line weighs 6 grams across the board and your LBs are at 5 grams and you're great defensive backfield is at 4 grams, you've used 55 grams on your defense. This just tells me you have a high-priced defense, million dollar babies, but you will have suffered in other areas, such as O-linemen, RBs, etc. This reminds me of the Baltimore Ravens, who had a caretaker as a QB and not really much but had one of the greatest defenses of all-time.

These are the unique dilema that I am faced with that makes this most entertaining. Half the fun is creating the players and weighing them accordingly and then going through a work out.

Attn French Guy-I will tweak players throughout the season but once assigned a base, that's his base. But all players don't consistently do the same thing on the playing field. They may be sick one day and just don't perform so essentially, they are re-tweaked game by game. We will not get to practice regularly so teams will all have their own identity at the start with a small write up and we will view players throughout the season to weigh their consistency.
