Another season is on the books. It was quite a wild ride, but enjoyable none the less.

There will be no coaching changes this offseason, but several coaches come up for review after next season. I'll be taking a break the next couple months or so and will return for season five after that. Meanwhile, I'll be tweaking graphics, toying with the constants, updating draft profiles and holding the draft. I'll post a quick look at the first round to the site, as has become the custom.

Wow, the Makos got hammered by retirements.

[DreamTeams]

Here are the latest stadium changes...

The Jackets will play in the DonStadia (local8h) model.
The Kodiaks will play in the Bedrock (local8h) model.
The Colonials will play in the USA (garysorrell) model.
And in case you hadn't noticed the Keltics switched to the Gigantus (created by garrysorrell, edited to be 4 sided by local8h) model during the season.

Click on the team page then the stadium link under each of these teams to get a quick glimpse at these fine stadiums decked out in team colors.

Enjoy.

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DuPre is gone....damn...

whats with all "my" players retiring the last two years, every single one of my favorite players has retired. We better get a superstar rookie, but damn, we're going to be hurting next season...

[Reaser]

We lost so many DB's also, wow....
 
Gonna be interesting to see the roster going into season 5...

[DreamTeams]

Just completed the draft.

Site has been updated with a quick glimpse at the first round picks.

Who did your favorite team land?

[jdhalfrack]

Man... what the hell happened last season?! I stop watching for one season and the Seaside Invaders turn into the Seaside Suck... 322 points allowed?! That's awful. But, at least they didn't lose much in the way of retirements. Plus, Bossell will be a key addition to the defense. Nice draft pick. I already bought his jersey. Hopefully he can help turn this team around!

I stop watching for one season and the Seaside Invaders turn into the Seaside Suck...

 
At least they were not as bad as the Doneandburied Dragons.

Since this is the 5th season, when can we expect the MFL Hall Of Fame to be erected.

Since this is the 5th season, when can we expect the MFL Hall Of Fame to be erected.

I'm not sure, BigSmooth if I'm going to even have a HoF. Not having the stats migrate from the first three seasons would make for a lot of calcultions I don't have time to do. But, it's definately something I've thought about. I've also thought about starting from the current season forward as the game is now traking career stats.

We'll see.

[DreamTeams]

Ok still gearing up for season five. Here's what I've been up to lately...

- Just added a Playoff History Page to celebrate the MFL's fifth season of play. Here you can re-live every post season game from the last four seasons. (Click on 'Playoff History' when at site.)

- Next season's schedule has been posted to the site.

- Team rosters have been posted. (Starting with season five I will only be posting the roster pages at the beginning of each season instead of after each sim. This will save time. However, I will also be using the Garysorrel/Tullius approach to the season stat page. This will yield better results than what the game out puts.) I also plan to list injury updates on a separate page.

Here are a few more changes for next season...

- The play clock will go from 20 seconds to 25 seconds.

- Kicks-off has been moved from the 30 yard line to the 40 yard line.

- The Keltics have discarded the green helmet and will play in a white helmet next season. (You can see the updated helmet at the team page.

- Actually thought about switching to a sudden death overtime this season. But, decided against it. I still believe that overtime should be completely played out and if both teams play to draw, so be it. (Except in post-season) Overtime will remain as it is.

Would like to wait on the patch because of the documented stat issue currently plaguing the game. Still, I'm itching to get going. Hopefully soon.
