Here we go again. After you get use to the season 8 changes here comes more mid season. Why can't these major changes wait until the off season? Maybe it's just me but DAM. I wonder how much this will effect things.

Yea, who wants a passing game and who wants to stop powerbacks? They can wait!

*sheepishly raises hand*

this sim sucks anyway where a team like the Marauders can look decent. bring on the new one.

What JRG said.
Anything that makes that puts the Marauders where they actually belong is a check + in my book.

Agreed 100%

Let teams adapt to the sim, it's part of the process. Stop adapting the sim to the teams in mid-season.

As much as I hate this sim, I hate when major changes happen midway through the season. Hopefully, the changes treat us good though.

It is very obvious that passing is broken so why should it not be fixed, The only ones who dont want things to change are the teams that have a very good Power back on their team. This fix will make the league a much better league once again. It gives other teams the chance to win games through the air like last season.

The numbers dont lie, look at the top QB's this year compared to last year, its NOT even close. Grady Ryan being the only exception(still a big drop in yards but everything else is pretty much the same)...

While I hate major changes being made to the sim at mid-season, just when we've all gotten the hang of it, this sim sucks. I hate how people expect someone who's been building an elusive HB for 8 seasons to change him to a half-assed power build just to adapt to the sim. That's a lot of wasted money, and it's causing people to retire their players or quit all together. If the build is good, it should work; it shouldn't depend on the type of build, unless you're just not using that player the way he should be used.

yeah, but there is also not any gutted teams in Naga to rack up stats. I have not really seen the big drop off is passing this season. Grady is not starting and splitting time this season so his #s will be down, but overall, the passing seems OK.

Even with Meth Head as a decent power back, I just hate seeing teams run the strong I offtackle vs freaking goalline D and still get 5 yards. that's retarded. the dots just need actually take up space and no matter how many tackles a power back can break, if there are 7 bodies in the hole (defenders + blockers) it should impossible to somehow squirt through and keep going.

It's BS when a dot just moves through dots like they don't exist and there is no broken tackle on the play.

I don't mind the sim changes as long as they actually are functionable. Midseason is awkward, but whatever.

Bort is to Beta, as Peanut Butter is to Jelly.

Alex Favre...lead the league in yards last season and has really always been brilliant through the air....only true completions this year are on lucky bombs. Either the sim is fucked or everyone just punched 30 points into vision this season.

I think the passing needed a fix, but I feel that it is terrible timing as we are halfway through the season and teams have already figured out what works and what doesn't, and to absolutely change the offense 180 degrees is absolutely unfair to teams with that good power back. Now instead of the final 8 weeks being the "down the stretch" weeks, teams are now trying to figure out new strategies once again to be successful. I know I have already scheduled another friendly with a similar opponent of PDD from SA so we can test things out, because now we need to rethink everything as if we were in the first week or 2 of the season.

Also the only teams that wanted the fix was teams that don't have a power back on their team, so the 2 sides even out don't they . Not only that, but most power runnning teams have good QBs as well, so I am not complaining about the power running game being nerfed as much as the timing of the whole thing.

Actually I have a power back at my disposal and I would like the sim change.
