Yeah, that's the thing. It's not cricket. Half the people in our league are from Europe, they really don't understand how the game is supposed to work IRL. We've had one team where they had non-kickers punting and kicking, with predictably awful results. We have another team with no safties, and another with no corner-backs.

I want to win, I want to win every game, but I don't want to be some a**hole who does it with cheap hacks. But, being a computer programmer/tester/debugging person, I also want to know what would happen. "I gots to know" [Dirty Harry]

I've thought about creating a private league for myself, controlling all the teams (could I do that?) and just run "what-if" experiments.

I believe it's perfectly acceptable for someone to utilize any nugget/gem they learn and work it into the fabric of what they're doing. However, gleaning something and then entering into a difficult match-up per se and saying to oneself I can't win unless....

and then writing a rule or going to it continually in the match-up to win, is weak.

Thus, I don't like when an exploit is brought to light to such a focused and detailed nature because it'll only encourage BS game planning behavior.

This one has been known about for years. It comes back up every time there is a new bunch of owners.

This is newer in nature. I was speaking specifically about the PA TE Drag which I believe alongside the v4.3 release has seen it hit at random for TDs, consistently.

Detailing GMs on how to approach the Goal-Line sets (2-2-1 and 1-2-2)....approaches, defensively and offensively is cool because it helps to put them on a more even playing field and nothing I have an issue with.

Yes, but before this release it wasn't like this. I open up games and accept it can attack for 1 to 2 TDs in a game (in almost every game) and come to accept that. It wasn't like that before, though the issue has always been there.
