Unofficial Announcement

Idk if you all saw the general community forum, but JDB is going to roll out the new code in a week or two. Won't affect us this season but we'll roll into it next season. Based on what I've seen, seems like man to man updates, nerfing of multiple qbs, improvement of qb reads, and improvement of physical attributes of lower round draft picks. Seems interesting to me :)

Thought I'd let everyone know

I've skimming the discussion on this update in MFN 1. Interesting stuff.

I wanted to make a thread that is specifically for the issues that 0.4.3 addresses, now that we are playing games again in the beta leagues. Just as a reminder, the things 0.4.3 deals with are:

* QBs should come in cold off the bench and it should take a little bit for a new QB to get into rhythm. Obviously this is to combat the ability to keep 'fresh' QBs on the field. I also reduced some of the fatigue impact on QBs.
* Since the end of the last season, I've attempted to add some pressure on QBs to get sack numbers up a little bit higher.
* Removed holding calls far away from the play.
* General QB decision making should be better, throwing to the open receiver more often. (Note that just because the QB doesn't throw to the best receiver does not mean this isn't working, because he still will make poor decisions - but in general, he should be making a better decision more often than previously)
* QB should be releasing the ball much more quickly
* M2M coverage should be improved, where WR can juke and lose their M2M coverage, and good M2M coverage should reduce passes into tight coverage and reduce the success of passes that do go into tight coverage. Again, there will still be successful passes into tight coverage, but it should be more rare than before.
* DL interceptions should be significantly reduced

Quite a few items there. If you notice an issue specifically with these items - which means new issues that these changes created, or issues that these changes should have addressed but didn't - please post comments and plays to this thread. If there are other bugs relating to other aspects, please continue to post them into separate threads to be looked at in a future version. I'll also start another thread to get feedback on what items are the biggest pain points to look into for 0.4.4.

Sounds like this will improve the game even more imo. Unlike the other football simulation game (which I will say no names) that keeps making bad changes to game.

Yeah, it's going to completely wreck my 3-QB offense. lol.

I'm actually glad to see that though. It shouldn't work as well as it does.

I was wanting to see a change at WR when catching in or out routes and not turning up field!
I like the M2M change, don't like a WR with 3 or 4 guys all over him, making a 3rd and forever
catch!

i always like the challenge of relearning the game after a release but i too would like issues like blitzing all the time or the absence of the run game get addressed as well. I guess i'll adapt and learn whatever comes though :)

Man, I fell into the duo QB by dumb luck many seasons ago......guess it’s not gonna last. And here I pretended to be on the cutting edge. In other news, I’d like to see ppl be able to run the ball. It’s still insignificant to passing.
