There should be a change it - make it less effective option. More options are usually a good thing as long as they aren't unfair and I think the general idea is a good one and should remain in place during the playoffs. It sounds like the tactic is a little too effective right now if horrible teams are able to beat good teams comfortably now.


To put some numbers in: A team utilizing MOTY is playing between 3 and 7 % better than a team playing at "normal".

MOTY strikes me as being more like Poker than American Football .... if I wanted to play that I'd go to worldseriesofpoker.com .


Nice one^^

Long time ago i suggested that MotY could also lead to "overmotivation" and result in negative effect

So Moty could have a range of -2% up to +5% and then it would become a strategic one imo since not only decide to play MotY but also decide if one want to live with a possible downside

But meanwhile i dont want it! Even the up to 5% plus leads to a huge not imaginable boost - something that makes me sure that is buggy anyway - so i would be quite happy to get rid of MotY option at all

Any possible changes would have to be down the line a little, correct? IF, I mean IF, a change would happen it would probably be season 6?

such changes can happen on each season rollover, never in the middle of the season

I easily beat good tactical playing teams and equal on rating with 20 points

But in a game with game rating opponent 41,6% and my team on 48,4%

AND opponent not playing tactical wise in defense, well not even in offense
AND he is playing MotY
AND i go for more yards total and passing and rushing

result is: i lost!

Ok sure its not a bug! Its just coincidence or someone does not like me and manipulated the game

Don't forget that it's still a game of chance.
In case of the game you're referring to, it might just be coincidence, I guess.

per definition a bug is a mistake in the source code, and I can assure you, there is none on the MOTY part, it was checked again and again and again. Maybe it is not working as you expect it to be, but then it is not a bug - per definition
