|
| | man I liked this guy too.....
3 Simmed Games and hasn't been on the site since Christmas Eve.
|
| | Guys....it takes a lot to get booted. Unfortunately this stuff MUST happen if a league like this wants to get where where we wanna be. It's the only way to have this league end up in a GREAT PLACE.
|
| | MJD is SUSPENDED for the rest of the season and playoffs.
Please remove him from your depth chart ENTIRELY. This is in conjunction with what's going on in Fantasy with Peterson.
We want you around, you're very talented. Learn to play with a lesser RB (Forsett or Denard Robinson) by mixing up those Run Calls.
If we receive another complaint based on your constant outside run usage, you will be gone. Fair?
I'm tired and don't feel like going through the reasons of why MJD is suspended for the rest of the season.....but if anybody would like to know me...
|
| | Reminder, as per Disconnect Rules / Guidelines....ALL Disconnected games MUST be reported to the Commish....Either Cabbage OR Myself. This works through a Text or a PM.
We want to keep track of ALL DC's to see which owners are the troubled guys in this area. Over time the count will tell a lot.
|
| | maddenking9876 who seems like solid dude...had to retire based on not having enough time to get his games in.
jdawg26 will be moving from the giants to the seahawks (based on a very early request to have the seahawks prior to the season. Once Nthought got booted jdawg got screwed by me and didn't get the chance to grab his team again.
DarkConfidant will be taking the panthers...as dankfaded247, another good dude broke his system and I can't seem to find him at the moment.
TCMagic97 will slide into the giants.
|
| | QB Ryan Tannehill is SUSPENDED for 2 GAMES. Please put him in you #3 QB slot. Now because me and you play this week....you can start his suspension AFTER our game.
This is suspension is simple. You played the CPU Panthers team and the total play count for the game was 146. Yes....146. The average for our games is around 90. So something was going on here...a little no huddle...a little poor defense on purpose. I've seen you play and YOU ARE GOOD. There is no fucking way you give up 42 points...

| | bird_33 Vikings owner has retired.
Claims league is not right for him. 10 minute quarters are too much (although its really the same as 7 or 8 with no accel clock)....how any SIM player can accept less than 45 plays per team I'll never know....
I don't know how you can judge a league based on 2 GAMES!!!!!
...but regardless, Bird_33 is out and MjFutures is also out. They both want to leave.
We'll be filling the Vikings later today.
|
| | I check all the box scores fellas.....and I notice some running QB's getting out of hand.
Use this guideline.....you really should never have over 5-7 carries by your QB in a single game.
10, 11 carries is way too much. Be careful with it.
Also calling the read option too much is happening.....and people are getting away with it because the defense IS keeping the EDGE guy on the QB. So although they are not going down as a QB carry, we see that stuff.
Most are doing a good job in keeping the Read Option to a "Realistic" Amount....but some are using...
|
| | So...we've had a couple of complaints recently about OUTSIDE RUNS and LACK OF BLITZING.
First off Lack of Blitzing. If you're not blitzing in this game, you're missing the boat...because blitzing (bring 6 especially) is a GREAT DEFENSE TO PLAY. It is very realistic in which the QB needs to recognize it right away and get it to a hot read.
--work on mixing up those defensive playcalls.
--OF COURSE your defense can have an "Identity." If you're identity is to blitz a lot, GREAT...if it is more of a safe defense, GREAT. BUT even with those identities, a HEALTHY...
|
| | west--2012 has stepped down due to not having enough time to play.
Bird_33 takes over the Vikings franchise.
|
| | Starting IMMEDIATELY, you MUST have 3 QB's on your roster AND all in your #1, #2 and #3 QB slots on your depth chart.
After Monday, 12/30/13...if any team does NOT have this done and setup, their QB will be suspended for 4 games.
Apparently there is an injury glitch that we must overcome here....and under NO circumstances can you EVER put a K or P into those QB slots.
|
| | This should NEVER be done. Only in those rare cases in a hail mary situation at the end of the game IF you'd like to throw a guy in a QB contain to make sure the QB doesn't get outside the pocket.
I've received video on an owner rushing only 2 guys 9 times in a single game. We will not reveal the owner who did this....but let this be a reminder that this cannot happen.
It's not real football. Its madden bullshit play.
We're better than that.
|
| | RCH08.....good dude and good owner has stepped down from the default league, and will stay in the fantasy league due to a busy schedule.
Helldawg66 has taken over Redskins....and with him and SlickSilverman knowing each other...that rivalry should be fun to watch.
|
| | Guys, this is disgusting....look at these Interception Numbers....
Roethlisberger 30 Flacco 26 Glennon 26 Stafford 26 Rivers 25 Palmer 24 Ryan 24 Luck 23 Dalton 23 Manuel 21 Brees 19 Weeden 18 Smith 17 Kaepernick 15 Newton 14 Wilson 14 Brady 14 Tannehill 14 Griffin 14 Romo 13 Manning 13 Rodgers 13
.....that's ridiculous.
Why can't we TAKE PRIDE in playing the real way and take pride in NOT TURNING THE BALL OVER? This is not like M13 in which PASSING IS EASY. ...
|
| | this is the 2nd complaint I've received on this owner. First was the Rams owner claiming un-sim play. Doesn't hold much merit when only 1 owner complains...however below is why you are being booted.
Gameplay aside.....
you just beat the Falcons 70-24.
21 4th quarter points. you were up 49-24 in the 4th quarter. Could you have scored another TD? Maybe, could be argued. Not 21.
In 4th quarter under 2 mins to go......you are up 63-24 and call a screen pass....and take it to the house to get 70.
This will not be tolerated as I don't even...
|
| | from CinciREborn, who runs another league.....
First off. Idono if this thread breaks any rules. If it does mods are welcome to delete it. But in my league iv kicked a ton of guys. It's expecte. Finding good owners can be hard. However there a point that takes things to a new level and I kicked one of these guys tonight. I think this owner may be in other leagues and may be looking for other leagues as well. Save other commishes the trouble I went through with this guy by shooting this warning.
I think the guys PSN is qnosis. He knew he was getting kicked so he signed a 66...
|
| | ...in the Main MEDIA section...under Power Rankings...we have a new section titled "Top 5 SIM Players."
While of course this will never be perfect....this will give people an indication of who is just killing it out there on the SIM side of things.
Periodically (not every advance)...I will update this depending on what I see and what I hear about guys and their play.
You have EVERY opportunity to grow your reputation in this area....and word does get around I promise you. Of course not everything I hear is true...BUT the more you hear the SAME good things or bad...
|
| | ...guys be careful about not abusing this style of offense. Watching these games I'm seeing a lot of it. Of course its fine to run this type of offense...BUT not only do u have to mix up your plays...but u must mix up your formations too. When does an NFL team run the pistol offense every play? NEVER. First of all..the league has already caught up to the read option...2nd of all if a team runs the pistol..they usually never run it more than 25% of the game tops. A QB should never have more than 5 or 6 carries over game...8 tops. And yes by the calling the read option and handing it to the back...
|
| | If you are CONSTANTLY difficult to schedule with.....and I see nothing on the "Weekly Matchup Threads," then you WILL be gone.
Team will be replaced with another owner soon.
|
| | in the Chiefs/Raiders game...the Chiefs went for a 2 point conversion in a situation that broke the rules.
It was explained to me that it was an accident and that Zeemen thought the score of the game was different than it actually was.
Chiefs WR Brandon Lloyd is suspended for 1 game.
Zeemen please remove him from your entire depth chart for your next game.
everybody please take the responsibility to get to know the rules....mistakes happen for sure and its understandable....but we still have to hand out suspensions in cases like this.
remember...
|
| | yes...I title this "state of the union" like the freaking president of the united states.... We are Very pleased with the state of these 2 leagues right now. Yes it was tough with the PS4 transition....but after the dust settled and a bunch of guys got gone....most of, if not all of our owners are doing a tremoundous job in all areas. Keep in the back of your mind tho....playing the right way is much more important than playing to ONLY to win. Playing the right way and winning is our goal. ...keep up the good work.
|
| | iamstr8fire has informed me that his life is just too crazy right now to continue on here....loves the league and hopes to be back in a month or two, but with stuff going on he's going to retire.
qn0sis.....once he retires from the Lions later on tonight you can get that game out of the way and play the CPU.
|
| | not responding to people when trying to contact, already 1 simmed game.
Replacing him is "indys_finest317" who is a MAJOR upgrade for this league.
|
| | everybody could see this one coming a mile away...
If you do not schedule your games and/or communicate with an opponent, you will be gone...its that simple.
|
| | Born2win just does not come to the website and is becoming non-responsive. Dolphins are available for team switch. Let me know ASAP before i go to the waiting list.
|
| | I was getting disconnected at the start of games when using custom playbooks but i believe i have found a fix..
When you go into a game, be sure to toggle your playbooks to some regular team playbooks, then back to your custom playbooks before pressing start.. I have been doing this for over a week and havent had any disconnects since..
I think its a weird loading issue that is causing the disconnect, and by toggling the playbooks from custom to regular and back to custom before...
|
| | Guys.....MEFL is a "machine." What I mean by that is day by day, every text I get...it is becoming more evident that we are attracting guys each and every day. And when viewing other leagues out there struggling to fill teams up, we are far ahead of the curve.
Here's where the message gets important....everybody needs to make a serious effort in expanding your games, being accessible to others and making sure you have a very strong internet connection. It's NOT HARD, it's only being courteous and being part of a strong community....something fun and enjoyable for everyone.
|
| | if you don't respond to someone when they're trying to get a hold of you once...we'll give you the benefit of the doubt....not twice. This league is only for those who have the courtesy to respond to others.
New owners to take Browns and Jags shortly.

|
| | So as we all know by now....there is 1 serious error/glitch that is not allowing us to play some games.
Dankfaded will be posting something shortly that can be a possible fix

As for THIS League goes, the Default Roster League.....Yes our Rosters are set and the League is created...BUT here's 2 things that I think we should do before we get going....
1. If any team requests a player that RECENTLY signed with their team IN REAL LIFE, then please contact either Cabbage or Myself as we WILL make that happen. --For instance, Ed Reed has recently been dropped by the Texans and signed by the Jets. I'm gonna...

| | I'm not a big CHAT box guy myself....BUT as a league it's very important that we get this thing going. Hey when ur on the site login to the mini chatbox. You never have to leave the screen ur on to do so.
I anticipate that once PS4 comes they'll be more chat activity....but just something to keep in mind right now.
