The draft is underway!

Click here to go to your war room, or visit the war room item in the draft menu.

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.

Why 0? It recommends 5-10 although I don't really understand what it means...


Ask Seth....I have no idea what it means either but it effects down and distance somehow...setting it to 0 means your play matrix is used without adjustments


There's a forum search function you know: https://vikings.myfootballnow.com/community/3/4214?page=1#26895

i find 5 to be my sweet spot for that factor, and have seen 23 mentioned as the magic #
That stated, as it accelerates or decelerates play selection (overall), it seems to me it's best use is to "throw off" any data collection from your opponent - as any user created options override the AI, every time and all the time.
I've wasted time collecting basic data regarding GP Distance Adjustment Speed over points scored and well, it seems the lower the better - but for 0 to be too low.
Higher numbers seem to result in more plays called for a less net yardage. Again: My experience. Closer to zero seems to focus plays called relative to OFF GP slides.
Just my experiences, might not be wisdom, and likely includes at least 1 part assumptions (read as "probable bullshiite" but i will insist as "including relative chaos" lol).
I work with trends vs spreadsheet results, and always look at the big picture over the micro focus.
Find your sweet spot - you know what you watch more than we do ;)

The forum search function is so bad it's nearly unusable.

It is if there are a lot of posts that mention what you are looking for. You'll see posts from years ago but never be able to find the one made last week.
