The game, btw, is being fixed, things resolved at a decent cadence; not fast enough for some, but hey ho.

And to add on the more general point of MFN-TEST, there's plenty of things in progress there being tested to help the game improve; roster management, Zone vs rush, improvement to passing game. Roadmap is also useful for people to see what's been done and what is in progress.

There are a number of teams available there, anyone willing and happy enough to help test changes would be welcomed there by JDB, I'm sure. Most helpful thing is always constructive criticism. Carping solves nothing.

Max FG you can set in gameplanning is 65.
Gameplanning rules say 70% is 43 yards.

If you assume 0 kicking gives 0 yards, you can then plot a cuve using 3 points - (0,0), (70,43), (100,65).

If you assume the quadratic formula
max dist = a(kick strength^2) + b(kick strength) + c

The c must be 0 to cover point (0, 0).

Solving the quadratic then gives you values for a and b.

So, a possible max distance can be solved by plugging in the kick strength.

Worth pursuing.
Im my experience, in order to accomplish a near 100% fg% that if and only if a kicker has 100 str and accuracy, then their max before declination is 53 yards.
53 yards is the max a 100 accuracy and kstr kicker can achieve over 90% field goals made.
54 yards and beyond exponentially increases failure, by each yard set as a maximum 54 and above (exponentially increasing in difficulty for each yard after 54 yards regardless of max Kaccuracy and Kstr and including a 100 attribute score in both Kaccuracy and Kstr).

My experiences support the equation and logic for presented.
Additionally, kicking distance is directly impacted by player (not K) STR as a minor attribute.

Id suggest instead of attempting a 55 yard FG, to have a 4th down rule for any opportunity between the opponent's 45-35yd line.
If one is at 4 and whatever on the 36 yard line it's a 53 yard kick - and the maximum epoch of even the best kicker's accuracy and Kstrength attributes.

Quadratics always provide a maximum and a minimum before there is an angular declination. The smaller the lateral angle, the larger the apex of success - the increase of difficulty - becomes over distance (and as the apex increases, success decreases).

Neat topic. I'll never do the actual math, tho.

If i must pay to beta test, if i must pay to help, i simply will not.
My account dictates i can either compete or do beta.
I prefer to compete.
I'd love to test, but i refuse to pay for a second team so I can do so.
If I'm helping MFN, i should not have to pay to do it.
Never pay anyone to work for them.
The employer pays the worker.
MFN beta should be free to all accounts. I won't buy a sub just so i can do work. I won't pay someone so i can work for them.

Calling anyone a carp or saying they're carping is racist, btw.

You can continue to call us bottom-feeders, or you can enable us to help.
Calling people Carps is just plain nasty and racist.
Your ignorance of vocabulary is not an excuse. Your insolence and your intolerance towards others IS not something I and others will tolerate moving forward.

PLEASE STOP USING RACIST TERMS.

Carping...
Next, martin is gonna tell us to shut up and eat our watermelons.
Just, yikes.

My family and myself did not overcome every obstacle to have some rando call me a carper.
The offense is grave and deep.

MArtin, just another really nasty racial thing youve said since you become the forum admin.
Ive addressed your racism in public twice, and privately once, and here you are still opting to use terms of superiority.

Martin - there are better options. IF you are to continue speaking for MFN to us, you better stop saying stuff like carping and all the other racial epithets you continue to use.

You're great for information.
However, you always take the superior road, and you always talk down to those you respond to. Often, you pull out racial epithets like carping.

I'm assuming you can do better.
...but I'm not seeing you make any effort on your part to do better.

Martin, please stop dropping racial comments. I hope you have the smarts and the professional etiquette to not be the base of the base, to not be the beast of 2 backs as Shakesphere wrote.

I continue to be disgusted with your obvious biases.

dude dropped "you people" and "carping" in 7 days and somehow he's still the mouthpiece.
Unreal.

Literally, what the **** are you talking about?

A carp is a fish. A FISH.

Bit racist of you, that.

1. Not a forum admin.
2. No racism has been posted or intended to be posted.

I suggest you seriously think twice about making false accusations.

Ive addressed your racism in public twice, and privately once, and here you are still opting to use terms of superiority.

At no stage have you "addressed racism" privately. Your public accusations are false.

Martin - there are better options. IF you are to continue speaking for MFN to us, you better stop saying stuff like carping and all the other racial epithets you continue to use.

I continue to be disgusted with your obvious biases.

I suggest you'd better stop the false accusations.

You claimed people were using inside knowledge of the game to cheat.
I asked you for names and evidence.
You failed to provide either names nor evidence.

Instead, you seek to pursue an agenda by making false allegations.

I'd suggest you grow up or seek help.
