This issue has been discussed many times but I thought it might be important to bring up again as we are hopeful for meaningful game updates in the near term.

On the play above, we have a WR with Max Speed = 94, Acceleration = 95, and Ball Carrying = 91 break free to receive a pass only to be caught from behind after a 74 yard reception by a CB with Max Speed = 56 and Acceleration = 93. Fatigue should not have been an issue as it was just the third play of the offensive series and the prior play was a running play.

So, If Acceleration is roughly equal but the WR has a 38 point advantage in Max Speed and also has superior Ball Carrying, doesn't this play just scream touchdown?

From JDB on Discord:

My bad. Forgot to check the injury status of the speedy WR. It raises an interesting point, though. Knowing the injury status, i.e., 68 knee strength rating due to injury, is there anyway we can estimate the effects of the injury on key attributes? For example... knee strength rating of 68 due to injury reduces Acceleration by _____ points and Max Speed by _____ points?

How about this one. CB has an injury and 67 max speed but caught a 90 speed WR with no injury while in full stride. How was this WR caught?

Adding that every player on that defense who is secondary or linebacker are all sub70 speed, multiple defenders were catching up. I do not believe exhaustion should have impacted since it was relatively early in that drive.

Before all the brainwashed come in to make every excuse in the book as to why this is completely normal and correct, I will reiterate my grand MFN theory which I think both explains this, and should cause the community to demand transparency and change.

This is a clear example of what I typically refer to as the "parity" or "anti-blowout" code that snuck its way into MFN.

MFN used to have a big problem with untouchable teams who would regularly beat the particularly bad teams by over 100 points in a game. You don't see it to nearly the same degree anymore because the code was changed with the intention of no longer allowing this. The problem is, it is all entirely artificial. The code finds every "subtle" way it can to boost bad teams and/or suppress good teams. You'll often get this type of play, and then in the same game, you'll see a slow and terrible WR from the bad team outrun a 90+ speed CB for the good team for an easy long touchdown. You'll see wide open receivers for the good team drop easy long gain passes, while the bad team will complete every throw while under intense pressure into tight triple coverage. Meaningful penalties will all go one direction, and the bad team will almost always win the turnover battle.

This does not apply to every MFN game, it is only when there is a massive gap between the two teams. If you don't have a team for which a 12 win season is a massive disappointment, you likely are completely unaware because this does not ever effect you.
