First of all, I just want to make clear this new thread is something I have been thinking about ever since I have joined MFN...........so please do not misunderstand.

Football, Life, ...........the Universe is all about mathematics crunching numbers..........colliding with each other............I mean this is why a simple 2D view of what happens with the numbers......instead of us just seeing numbers.........happens. Im not going to go all Tarquin on you and ****.........and please dont misunderstand that because I love Tarquin. What I am saying is that I have always had a theory of teams.............any team. can be buffed............or even debuffed...........according to who has access to code here. Again.......please dont misunderstand me....... I am not saying this happens in MFN and I am saying this because I am not a coder......I am actually a football player. So when I see things in this simulation........and with my 30 plus years of playing and experiencing awesome coaches tell me run the horn in practice when we **** up...........yea that is my perspective. I also easily understand how my real life playing experience will not match up with simulations.............as hard as we try........and so many of you bust JDB's ***** for every advantage and disadvantage that happens and that is bull **** as well..............cause this is the universe and everything cannot work perfectly...........or according to how all of our vision is.........anyway back to the lecture at hand........

Is it possible..........or impossible.............for a coder to give or take buffs to a team in MFN. What I am saying is can a team be given a buff or a de-buff.........code that can be inserted during a season even.......playoff time? This includes the amount of injuries they receive during a season, or a period of time, during a season.

Again I must remind you..........I am not going all bat **** crazy and charging the creators with all of this mess..............but it has been in my mind from the beginning. How many people have access to code on MFN? Is it all 100% accurate according to the numbers..........or can it be altered?

Understand that I am not mad or angry in this post. I will repeat something I have said in another recent post...............and it is I am so thankful for MFN.........especially during this pandemic...........I mean...........honestly this is the realist feeling right now..........due to all the complications that make having a real game happen now. Do you guys understand me?

No one has access to the code except JDB as far as I know.

Setherick or Ray may or may not have been shown some sections of the code. They, or JDB, would have to answer that aspect of your question. AFAIK, only JDB has access.

Having knowledge that hasn't been made widely available of how certain aspects work isn't necessarily the same as either seeing or having access to the code.

EDIT: In regards to 'going all Tarquin': Anyone may choose to believe some, all, or none of our local c**t mafia's propaganda, I'm not stopping them. I was well aware when I took them on that I would be painted with that brush. :)

Everything that I know about the game is available somewhere in a public forum or from game documentation (some of which no longer exists). I just have either copied it down somewhere or remember it. (I have a near eidetic memory for useless tidbits.)

I'm going to hack the game to ensure I win more than 4 games a season.

Mwahahahahahahaha

There's a few of us out here that believe there's a bot being used by a couple players. I noticed some quirks about a year ago, and some others have seen the same peculiarities.

How would this work? The game is hosted on a dedicated server, and all you have access to is roster management and game planning. Nothing is called in game. I'm seriously confused.
