If you count slightly melting the arms so that those guys with Harpoons for arms doesn't get them.

All jokes aside. I play with buzzball stock and Haiti Repro. The only thing I do is drop the arms down based upon the rules. It's amazing what you can do with customs but can't do with stock. But that is another story.

Norbert you are right to toot your horn a bit. That passing display yesterday says a great deal and you are one talented dude, especially offensively.

I think Mike made a great point when he stated to leave it the way it is. The Pisarcek (Pardon my spelling) analogy was great. Kneel, game over, run fumble!

I would like to play one league that doesn't use the box and one that does to get that balance. You really do have to up your game though. There are people with a lot of time and determination right now. I am trying to get to that point but until I retire like Jimmy I'm not losing in other areas to win at this game. But I will surely continue to try.

WOW.. so much to quote... but I will say this...

LEAVE the box alone... It will come in your favor eventually...

This is how I relate it to football

BIG PLAY just happened ie. TD, first down, INT etc

*When you hear the shake of that box...
Thats coaches, fans etc... checking the field for flags

*If no double are called.. Then no flags

*If doubles are called..
Now everyone is waiting for the ref's call against the "O" or "D" or in other words, "ODD or EVEN"

*Once its called..
Here comes the GASP and ROAR... common ya'll "THATS FOOTBALL!!!"

Little secret of mine:
EVERY TIME I hit a BIG play... I hear that damm box that I love being shook... My arss clinches up every time... even if I look as cool as the other side of the pillow
Well thats probably everyone one of ya'll too.

lol, celo

ps. the silence after a 4th fumble is awesome!!! part of the game!! go to a home team bar... witness that home teams silence after theve lost that 4th fumble... It's football... It's part of the game

You know the thread is getting a little chippy when Norbert went "third person" on his last post and Celo's arsss starts clenching.




Like any product, there are room for improvements and tweaks in the box. Since it is a percentage based system, somebody should probably do a research project on the percentages of turnovers, percentage of penalties, and add a few tweaks and adjustments along the way to match up closer to the NFL.

I still like the idea of when a fumble is called on a runner during a run, they have the ability to pivot race out of bounds. If no one tackles them before they get OB, then it is not a fumble (or if they cross the goal line). However, if they do get touched, then the tackle caused that fumble. I think that adds a bit of realism and definitely excitement.
