While I understand this sentiment, the last time I did this the unintended consequences made it even worse for about a week, and technically this is one of the unintended consequences that is still here. These unintended consequences are also why the next release was delayed - that would have had this fix in it - because instead of getting it solidified in the upcoming engine I was spending my time patching the existing one. There are some bug fixes that are easy to slip into the existing version because the logic is very simple. Timeout decision logic is extremely complex and making what seems like a small change has a butterfly effect that has the potential to blow everything up. MFN-1 is the league designated for testing this, and the fixes are baked into this engine with the additions of other tweaks that would be unfair to release on leagues who have game plans in place with the expectations of how the engine currently works.

By "once a fix is found" I mean that it has been tested (in MFN-1) and proven to work properly without causing other issues.

In all seriousness , there just seem to be 'that' many issues that aren't getting resolved, maybe it would be better to start over. Take a look at the 'change-log', very few issues have been fixed.
It's this that has me losing interest in the game, I'm getting to the stage where I can't be bothered with game planning or even the draft anymore, and I'd all myself an advocate of this game as well

Is the game perfect, no. it doesnt mean its not still a good game. I have been playing for a while myself so I guess I have a better understanding of the adjustments I need to make for the game to work for me.

First thing I would say is dont over think on the strategies. Let the game handle some things for you. Build to your coaches strengths both Offensively and Defensively because when it comes down to it the coach is going to call his favored plays more often than not during the game regardless what you pick for plays during the game.

The TO issue is the biggest problem but its the same problem for everyone and dave has worked hard on this daily to get it straight. My only suggestion on it is maybe have it set up just like the 2 point conversion. This way its only called when the team has it in their settings. Wouldnt need to code it as much either

But I am against resetting leagues. Some people have paid for their teams in the custom leagues
