Default I was thinking

the same thing today. I had to run errands, but my mind was on MF.

I was just thinking about how a points based system for making a team could help add balance among different experienced players. You could even use it to set a handicap if you wanted. When I used to play wargames with my kids I would give them like 1000+ points to my 500 to even it out. It usually worked pretty well. It often made me work harder to overcome the difference. I remember one game where I had 500 pts against two kids, each with 1000. That was crazy, but it was actually fun for all of us.

i do like the balance of the complete team so you can have a good mix between offense (o-line & receivers) vs defense (linemen & safeties).


Like it a lot ...more than that, you give me an idea for my other custom tabletop sport game. Thanks

Default I'd be lying if I told...

you I was not having fun in this system.

I am seeing Merlin Olsen put on a clinic at DT! It's rare that interior linemen can be so dominate without much help but the Fearsome Foursome are putting on a show.

The Rams are thin on the back end but the front end is playing huge. In the CWD method, the Panthers have lost a LB for the season and got their starting DT lost til the 4th quarter. Up to that point, Dickerson had 13 yards on 7 carries. Now, he has about 120 yds on 15 carries (and we are midway thru the 3rd quarter). His biggest runs are coming on a Power I or dive play in the 1 or 3 hole. He just went off tackle for 29 and a score!

You talk about impact on a game. When you lose a DL who weighed 6 grams and go to one that weighs 4 grams against an OL that features Slater, Harrah, Smith and Pankey (each average 6 grams), it can takes it toll on the defense.

I will have to show some clips of Dickerson's runs.
