Purposed League Guidelines/Rules

[JeffHCross]

I'm cool with all the rules, but I just have one question about the linebackers' weight. I would say 215 would be a more acceptable weight for changing players to linebacker. In the past we've seen teams like Clemson and OU who have moved 215lb safeties to linebacker.

Personally, I don't think weight should be the deciding factor in a position change. Weight doesn't matter in this series. Yes, a 196 lb safety will look weird at linebacker, but a 90 SPD, 71 ZCV FS is going to be a hinderance. IMO, it doesn't make sense than a player could be 90 SPD, 71 ZCV, and 220, and he'd be allowed to change, but 211 lbs and in violation. The question, in my opinion, is whether or not the change gives you an advantage. I believe it does not. Now, obviously, moving a 96 SPD, 90 ZCV FS to LB would be a decided advantage (unless, as I found two years ago, he can't get off a block to save his life). But moving a guy that isn't good enough to be an FS to LB is kinda the point, no?

Also, FWIW, according to this, there are built-in recruits that are OLBs and 180. Oklahoma has a 208 lb Freshman OLB on their roster in the OD right now.

(And yes, this is more about OLBs than MLBs. There is a weight difference there)

The winning team will finish the game vs the CPU and the other will drop. If by chance there is a tie after the game would be "over" play out the entire rest of the game as "overtime."

I like it. This is how the tournaments are done, and it works well. However, I always wondered how the "play to the end" would work out. So to that end something along the lines of ... "be courteous to your opponent and don't run the score up on the CPU just because your opponent is no longer playing."
