I may be forfeiting tonight's game.

Not sure how to keep Roethlsberger from throwing to Hilton. (Where is the control for that?) Do I make Hilton my third or fourth receiver?

And, in the ATG, it does not look like SOM accounted for the 12 & 14 game schedules of some in the player pool.

This game is a joke. My last night injured who did not play.
Ryan, Matt QB 11.50M Game 4 in-game only
Matthews, Jordan Fl 5.75M Game 4 in-game only
Ajayi, Jay HB 8.50M Game 4 in-game only

Ryan and Matthews are both B0. Of course I lost the game. Funny Ryan play in ALL of the Falcons games last year. To add to this he hasn't missed a game in 7 YEARS!

In our league, A. Rogers has been benched by HAL for 2 games and we have only played 5 games.

Say it ain't so. They did not set this thing up right. Oh lord.... I want my money back.... I may wait like two years before using my credits, hopefully they will have fixed some of the problems by then... I am glad I did not buy the multi pack of credits...... This is bad people....... The SOM Football CD-ROM is very nice, I do not know how this online one can be so bad.

I have Brady and he has played 2 1/2 games out of 5. Every time he has a "Q" next to his name he misses a game. So I guess my question is, I am playing against a team tonight that all of his HB listed as either "Q" or "D" and 2/3 of his SE listed as "D". How does the team field a team if HAL is always benching players for an entire game with a "Q" and "D"? I'm really lost on the "Q" and "D". I keep seeing QB's that are A0 missing games.

I was wondering the same thing.

If I draft an entire team of Ds and Fs, someone has to play.

would their skill level be diminshed?

Otherwise, why not load up the team with cheap, efficient, injury-prone players?

SOM Must not be as concerned with palyer safety as the NFL.

It's a shame, with the CD-ROM you can set usage limits as high as 150%.

Also the All Time Greats Football Set is based of off the players entire career AND only a 14 game season, so the usage problems appear to be even worse, (if that is possible) with the ATG Game...

I have some faith that they can get this thing turned around.

I guess the "Q" & "D" do not matter. I played a team last night who J. Howard as "D" and the 2 backups as "Q". What did the game engine do? Started Howard who rushed 26 times for 126 yards. I'm glad I only paid the few dollars for the game. I will not be playing it going forward until they get the problems resolved.

It makes sense to me that your opponent doesn't know if one of your doubtful or questionable players is active. But it seems ridiculous that you don't know. At some point before kickoff (and it may be only minutes before) each team knows which of its players are available for duty.

One other thing. The game does not penalize a team for drafting a full complement of low usage players. Look at this team: http://365.strat-o-matic.com/team/1467499. My HBs, BBs and TEs are constantly listed as doubtful or questionable. But they continue to play and perform reasonably well.

To me, that's a serious loophole in the game logic.
