There are still 12 teams available in Ultimate Legends RO. Allocation draft is on 1/2/2021. Owners using punt block exploit will be removed. Zero tolerance.

Because it is within the rules. It'll get fixed before too long hopefully. The exploit is open to everyone so it's not exactly an unfair advantage unless there is a rule against it.
Then why is no one else using it? I think it's called respect

Good stuff Frank :).

I adjusted my lineup to match this week and actually had better penetration on a few but didn't get lucky with a conversion. Unfortunately, he did with one that got returned for a touchdown. "Lost" by 4. I was hoping the code gods were at least going to even the blocking out to give me one too.

Oh well, once I get a bit more speed with my secondary and a little more receiving talent I think the Pack will be Back and some day be able to overcome a bad block or two. To be honest, the turn around is going a bit faster than I thought.

It's a shame. Minnesota would be good without it. Using it tarnishes their good record.....no honor in cheap play. Reminds me of those baseball players who juiced themselves....many of them would of been good without it....but they allowed competition to get the best of their judgement and it cost them their image and in some cases a bronze plaque.

Should I mention it in my other RO leagues? Already asked you via PM because I don't want to do it without your permission. I guess a big part of the owners are the same as in the other RO leagues but I guess we could get a few more for your league with this.

Ten spots left now. League is filling in nicely. I have been direct messaging owners who have a favorable history.

If you would like to spread the word go for it. Would be great to start with a full league

Ok sounds good. I guess I'll wait a fews day and spread it a few days before the draft if it isn't full ;)

for us real players, putting a fast guy in to block punts doesnt work because that player does not have the st rusher position experience that is needed to blow by the blockers. a player will only get that experience if he is routinely played there, which i hope that no one resorts to. since you play minnesota twice maybe three times a year maybe you should find a guy to plug in for preseason games. maybe that will get him the experience that he needs. you have to put him in at st rusher #5. must be fast (rivas is 88), have acceleration and be strong. not sure if b & r avoidance is a factor.

Hey Frank,

Makes sense. To be honest, I hadn't thought about the experience issue until you mentioned it tonight. Getting through the line in the game I converted to speed rush wasn't an issue. But, I'll bet the fact that they don't have experience played into why they never got their hands on one. Not much I'll be able to do about that. I guess I may look at doing it in pre-season, etc. to try and get some experience to help out. Gotta keep tinkering to see if I can counter Rivera better too. It is what it is. Still having fun turning GB around. Playoffs in season one was not even on the radar. But, I can see if the team plateaus and I can't get to parity in the division ever, it may lose some appeal down the road at some point.
