This league has just begun! Because this is a new league, it will be a few days before the allocation draft begins (the countdown timer above shows when the first pick will fire). This is a great time to get a team as you will be able to build it from scratch! If you don't want to wait for the draft, though, check to see if there is a team in an established league that you can take over.

NOTE: As of the last sim, this league was under the minimum 20% capacity. Invite your friends to join MyFootballNow to keep this league alive! Then send them to this league to become the owner of a team! The league will expire at 8/01/2025 8:00 am.

Magic play

Now that the season is over, I want to report a magic running play, a run that gave Philly 30+ yards both times they ran it in the championship game and has given the opponent big plays consistently against my defense. Then again, when I ran it offense it did nothing for me, so I'm not sure what's going on. But honestly, it's ridiculous.

The two examples from the Bowl game, each against a different defense, should be enough to see what is wrong with this play:

Both plays there are defenders in excellent position to make the tackle, but the fact that the RB is running almost horizontally to the line of scrimmage seems to confuse them as they seem to run themselves out of position and give the runner a free TD, if not for fast pursuit.

I scouted this play as much as I could, but as you can see, it didn't helped much.

I am hoping to have some new logic in place in time for the upcoming season for pass and run defense. I'll see if I can include a fix for this pursuit issue in that set where pursuers are more aware of the location of their teammates.

I love the sound of that! Would help on many running plays
