Yeah, like you need a test league GDB :)

No I dont, but JDB does, and to get feedback from players on how any changes being tried out are working, you should get a team in MFN1 Jay, theres only a few of us left! All teams in MFN1 should be owned, no auto mgr, well, maybe one for comparative purposes, I would like to see the auto managers significantly improved, especially on contract renewal for high rated players on their rosters instead of letting them go to free agency and then signing an older player with a lower rating to a max amount contract, which loads on the dead cap if a new owner takes over the team. Play selection and use, reduce or eliiminate using the GL offense in other than 0-1 or goaline situations, coach style based decision making, balanced, heavy pass, heavy run, etc., when to go for it on 4th down and inches (score and location), calling TOs when opponent is pinned down inside own 10 yd line at end of the 2nd qtr and 1st half. basic football strategies. Another item Ive been crowing about for years is to show the yards allowed per catch by defenders, instead of or added to return yards per interception. Two CBs can have 50% catch allowed, but there could be a big difference in how many yards they allow. Dont need to see whether or not they ran a pick back for yards or a td. Its a nice stat but not relevant for pass coverage information.

Another thing I would like to see is a learner league for new MFN players, where they can get a season in before getting into leagues with owners who have several years of experience. A mandatory learning league for one season to qualify for entry into standard and/or custom leagues.

Kosmic mentioned that before.

There would be a number of logistical issues around that - taking over team set up by a previous noob, making players "league less", someone paying for a multileague subscription not receiving the service they've paid for initially which is kinda a serious legal point etc. Joining partway through such a league, how does the one season get calculated? AI needs work to be competitive because such a league can't be guaranteed to be fully populated...

The answer really is a comprehensive suite of tutorials which new user has to click through before being allowed to join their first league. Not everyone will like the game and want to stay after all, playing against AI can lead to bad habits too. Give newcomers the information and have the community be helpful.

Once played in a game where new players needed to take on a mentor.

Which is fine when the new player wants to listen.

Happy to help, but not going to waste my time on someone not wanting to take anything on board.

Ive helped more than I can remember, enough writing for a novel, some pick it up and some dont, many of them are gone now. Comments above are all good, pro and con. And until we get leagues filling up with new players, hopefully, its not a big deal, I just reached out to another one week old, havnt gotten a reply yet, he may or may not know that he got a message, lol.

JDB mentioned keeping MFN-1 information out of and excluded from this update thread to prevent confusion.

Please do so!

I normally don't "*********" at others on here - but........................

Are you the same guy that, when JDB announced the transitioning of the game, you were 100% all-in for joining the Discord group and helping?

Then you cited reasons of "too busy" or something to that effect, but have loads of time to nit-pick at the changes here on the forums.

Are you that guy?

I'm sure having been a CMO of a highly successful, ground breaking game WH could be an immensely valuable asset on the marketing side, if they chose to be. Guess just need to convince them of the progress being made.
