The game is not predictable just like real football can give some surprises. Some comparative scores from gameplay with 1940 College league:
Duke 0 at Alabama 13
Alabama 0 at Tennessee 13
Tennessee 28 at Tulane 7
Tulane 27 at Alabama 32
Tulane 7 at Duke 28

Comparing the scores you would think that Tulane should have given Duke a real scare or maybe beat them. I'm not playing full 10 game schedules with these teams. Example- I've played 4 games with Alabama and they won 3. I assume that they win the other 6 games on their schedule so that would give a 9-1-0 regular season record. I will play them against Texas in the Cotton Bowl. Texas won their 2 games that I had set up for them. Assuming they win the other 8, their record is 10-0-0 going into the Cotton Bowl against Alabama. The Sugar Bowl will match 10-0-0 Tennessee against 9-0-1 Boston College. Orange Bowl will be 9-1-0 Duke vs 9-1-0 Oklahoma and the Rose will be 9-1-0 Stanford vs 9-0-1 Michigan. Gator Bowl will be 7-3-0 or 6-4-0 LSU vs 7-3-0 West Virginia. Sun Bowl will be 7-3-0 or 6-4-0 Tulane vs 7-3-0 Oklahoma State. I should get some interesting and surprising results from these games.

Please post the results Old Coach. Great to see the simple old bowl system back in place. Love how this game allows us to customize our post seasons in so many different ways.

This is what I love about this game. As i've stated before, I wouldn't put money on the games in my league.

Cleveland-3 at KC -41
Vikings-14 at KC-3
Cleveland-14 at Vikings-10

I recently added 4 expansion teams. They usually get trounced. But on occasion they put up a good game and took an 8-0 team to OT to finally lose 19-13.

Some teams look great on occasion and absolutely terrible the next few weeks. This is why I keep playing, because it is not predictable. This is why I will support any upgrade. Especially if it includes updated playbooks.

I am going to try to have completed a daunting task....I am going to create a NFL league using the madden plays on the website with full accurate rosters. If we get these, I think there will be a new out look for the game for next season. I think that alot of our problems were trouble shooting this game and feeling it out. Now we know what we have and well have to take it as far as we can go to make it enjoyable without having to tinker with it.

And what's really fun is when you don't know how a game will turn out. One game can be a stalemate with the winning points coming in the first quarter, another can be a shootout

Simmer is correct. So much time has been spent waiting, a lot of creative people were probably hesitant to get involved for fear their efforts would be negated due to major changes in game elements like the databases.

At this point, the game being as it shall be, we really can cut loose and start making stuff. I have been compiling a big folder full of all the 8 man plays and playbooks that I can find. I want to make about 6 playbooks, with unique plays and decent situations. I still make plays on a regular basis. I am still in a stadium building mood, so they will continue to pop up occasionally. Hack is a machine. DTVT is making plays...and so on.
