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.

Add Logic to the Running Algorithm to Spin Upfield before Running

The running algorithm works great when the player is facing upfield. However, it ends up causing a player to run parallel to the LOS or even backward when the player is facing away from the LOS. I know mathematically why it does this, but it doesn't make much logical sense. A player that catches a quick hitch, for instance, is going to stop and then spin upfield before try to angle away from a defender. Right now, the player starts running immediately and since the algorithm can't calculate an angle that gets him up field, he ends up running parallel.

I would post examples, but this happens on 75% of all plays where the receiver comes back to the ball.
