So I haven't played Amazing Mirror in at least a decade, and man is it confusing. It probably isn't too bad when you are simply trying to beat the game because you can just screw around until you get to the end.

Trying to go for 100% is crazy though. I managed to get my file from 58 to 65%, but I think that getting 100% might be too much for me since there's a lot of sectioned off parts of maps that require hard-to-find abilities.

Also, I am officially on my break for B8NFLL, meaning I am nowhere near my Xbox, so I won't be booting up the game for a couple weeks.

AFC West Prediction

1. Washington Hawks

While not the best defense in the division, the differences in quality between theirs and the Raiders/Broncos is far less than the the divide between their offenses.

This is what it should have said. I had just over an hour to type these up before I had to hit the road, so I got sloppy.

Playoff seed projections are not based on how good I think each team will be though. I think that the top three AFC teams are in the East, but they are more likely to beat each other up.

The AFC North and South are less talented divisions and they each face the weakest NFC divisions, so I think that the Steelers and Jags can take advantage of having a relatively easier schedule.

AFC South Predictions

1. Jacksonville Jaguars
2. Tennessee Titans
3. Columbus Pioneers
4. Indianapolis Colts

The Jags were statistically the worst playoff team last season, but that didn't stop them from being the first team to clinch a playoff spot by winning the division for what, the sixth straight season? I have learned my lesson and will stop doubting their ability to continue winning the division. This is their last hurrah though as half of the defense is seemingly about to retire within the next two seasons. Tebow has been shockingly good to start his career and the OL continues to impress, so this might the year that the Jags become an offensive-oriented team. SS Michael Lewis aims to win his fourth straight DB of the Year Award.

Could the Titans really finish second? They have acquired a lot of talent via trade (most notably LT Travelle Wharton and CB Asante Samuel) and signed the highest-rated FB that they've ever had. These are also the Titans though, so I hate to give anyone false hope, but this is probably the best Titans team on paper that they've ever had. Because they aren't in the AFC East, that means they could potentially win the division.

I look at the Pioneers team every season, and I see a playoff contender. They are easily the best team in the division when it comes to drafting and player development. Yet, they routinely end up picking in the Top 10. I just don't understand this team at all. After picking them to dethrone the Jags the previous two seasons, I have decided to stop believing in that notion. This does allow me to make them my AFC Dark Horse Playoff Team this season even with stud FS Earl Thomas out for roughly half the season.

The Colts lost some key players, and their team is just really old now. Being old isn't a bad thing. Typically, the oldest teams in the league each season end up in the playoffs or at least a winning record. The Colts though are old and not very talented. That's just not a good combo. They had a scorching start last season before falling off a cliff and losing out on the second Wild Card in Week 17. They start the season against the Wildcats, Hawks, and Seahawks before getting a bye in Week 4. If leave the bye with a 3-0 record and their best OL Matt Light healthy again, maybe, just maybe will there be some reason for playoff hopes this season. Otherwise, I would just look toward next season.

AFC North Prediction

1. Pittsburgh Steelers
2. Mexico City Browns
3. Baltimore Ravens
4. Cincinnati Bengals

I'm not sure if the Steelers really improved from last season (WR Deion Branch is a slightly lesser Chris Chambers and WR Robert Meachem has been nothing special), but they certainly didn't get worst. With as many as six starters potentially facing retirement after the season, the Steelers are definitely in win-now mode. They did suffer a few notable injuries this preseason but at least they can take solace that they came out better than the Browns, their biggest threat to the division and the team that nearly cost them a playoff spot in a third consecutive season. It probably won't be a runaway division, but the Steelers are clearly the favorites

The Browns made the surprising decision the draft MLB Dont'a Hightower instead of RT Mitchell Schwartz. Hightower will be out until at least Week 4 and starting RT Barry Richardson is out for the season. It seems the Madden gods are punishing the Browns for that. While not the most talented defense, the Browns' defense has performed better than the Steelers the past few seasons. They will need that to continue to have any hope of winning the division as I don't trust that offense at all.

In S6 and S7, the Ravens made the AFC Championship Game (including winning it in S6). Last season, their defense was still lights-out (finished in the Top 5). It was their offense that cost them, including a bizarre and historically awful season from QB Omar Jacobs. Instead making a few changes to retool the team and go for another SB run, the Ravens decided to blow things up (not a full-blown rebuild though). They will likely have 9 new starters this season. Their defense should still be great, but this offense likely will likely hold them back this season. In as early as next season, they might be playoff contenders, but this season is likely just to see if anybody new (via trade, draft, or free agency) clicks.

The Bengals are easily the most-improved team in the division, but the improvements were exclusively on the defensive side of the ball. That offense, which has had just one new starter since S5 (WR Matt Jones after Dennis Northcutt was not re-signed), hasn't been great for a long time. Unless QB Brad Smith, who has shown very little in seven seasons, somehow plays up to his ability, we are likely looking at another Top 10 draft pick.

AFC East Prediction

1. Miami Dolphins
2. New England Patriots
3. New York Jets
4. Buffalo Bills

The reigning SB champs have lost a 91 MLB to retirement and traded a 99 LT, 94 WR, 90 DT, and 89 DT since that game. Even though they are being replaced by 83, 88, 85, 87, and 82 players respectively, that is still a lot to lose. Without those trades, they would probably have been the runaway favorites to be the AFC representative in the SB, but now they are probably co-favorites along with a few teams. The good news is that they lost three 90+ players the season before due to retirement and finished with the top seed. The bad news is that it took until Week 17 to get that #1 seed. Their work is certainly cut out for them this season, but this is clearly a playoff-caliber team. This could end up being their first playoff appearance as a Wild Card team, but I will have to see it to believe it.

The Patriots lost a good OL but then went out and got four more via trade and the draft. They otherwise return 20 of their 22 starters (19 of 20 still with a starting gig) from last season. The Patriots just unexpectedly released HB Cedric Benson. While Benson, as Stan can attest, hasn't had a great career, Benson did have the second-best season by a Patriot/Cougar HB since Ronnie Brown in S2 and actually set a franchise record for most rushing TDs in a season. While new starter at HB Dexter McCluster had a good rookie campaign, it remains to be seen if that small sample size will translate over a full season as a starter. That could very well be the difference between competing for a division and a Wild Card.

Who was the third-best team in the AFC (same rankings as Hawks)? If you guessed the Jets, you would be correct. The Jets fielded a Top 12 offense and defense and had the NFL's best turnover differential. The Jets lost one starter and had, in my opinion, the best rookie draft class. None are expected to start, but three or four are the #1 backup to several players. I have been high on the Jets for the past few seasons now, and while their record hasn't been been good, the stats suggest they are more than a good team. If there's one cause for concern, it's Drew Brees. Brees has been the most overrated QB in B8NFLL. Through eight seasons, four have resulted in sub-70 passer ratings. Another was around 80. The other three though resulted in being a QB of the Year candidate. Unfortunately, it seems he has a max of one QB of the Year season for each team he plays for, and he has already used that up for the Jets. Luckily, they have MVP candidate Romance Taylor at HB to carry the offense if Brees continues his trend.

This Bills team is too talented to suck and not talented enough to win the division. They are also in what is easily the AFC's toughest division, and given where I have ranked them in the division, they will not be a playoff team. Talent-wise, this team has taken one step backward for every step forward. There's less depth at OL, QB, and LB but more at HB and DE. They lost their top TE and FB, but they added the top DT in the game. The Bills have seven projected starters with sub-80 ratings, easily the most in the league. With the Dolphins and Patriots seemingly set to own the division for years to come, I'm not sure when to expect the Bills in the playoffs next.

AFC West Prediction

1. Washington Hawks
2. Oakland Raiders
3. Denver Broncos
4. Kansas City Chiefs

This division could finish in any order and it wouldn't surprise me.

The Hawks's offense far eclipses any of their divisional peers. It might be a small sample size, but it seems that QB Philip Rivers has found his home on his fourth team (it just so happens to be the team formerly known as the San Diego Chargers). HB LaDainian Tomlinson averaged over 100 yards a game last season, and WR Roddy White has showed no signs of relinquishing his title for best AFC West WR. You could even argue that the Hawks have the best TE and OL in the division. While not the best defense in the division, the differences in quality between theirs and the Raiders/Broncos is far less than the . Statistically, the Hawks were the fifth best team (via rankings for total offense, total defense, and turnover differential) in the AFC last season. They didn't really lose much last season, and what they did lose, they added superior players to those who departed. This team finished 7-9 last season and a fourth-place finish in the AFC West, but they had the best record in the division after rising star ROLB Koa Misi returned from a preseason injury. This team is as good of a bet as any to go from worst-to-first.

The Raiders are basically the same team from last season. Instead of A.J. Feeley starting at QB, Tavaris Jackson takes control of the offense. Every other starter returns. Is that enough though? The offense is a little deeper this season, but the margin for error is slim given the lack of playmakers. Barring the unexpected, their stellar defense should lead their team, which is always a plus in a defensive-oriented division. Their out-of-conference foes are the NFC East, and this Raiders team might match up worse against them than any other AFC West team. That could end up being the difference for a team aiming to make the playoffs in back-to-back seasons.

The Broncos have always had an elite defense, and that will always make them a threat to win any game. That's not going to change this season. Their offense however took a couple of hits in losing Daunte Culpepper and Walter Jones. They also took some hits in their depth as cap space issues forced them to downgrade at the interior OL. This team has always been defined by their rushing attack, and with LaMarcus Coker and Brian Leonard leading the way, they will get their way. However, things typically don't end well for one-dimensional teams. They have looking-like-a-bust QB Ryan Perrilloux penciled in as Culpepper's replacement and that young WR corps is still likely a couple seasons a way from being respectable, so I don't have a lot of confidence in the Broncos scoring. Even an elite defense still needs their offense to be good for 17 or more points a game, and that might be asking too much from the Broncos.

Easily the most active team in the division, the Chiefs might still be another season away. HB Domanick Davis can never be counted on to play a full season, and nobody on that Chiefs offense has stepped up whenever Davis is absent. It's unsure how new QB Omar Jacobs will fare on a new squad, but the Chiefs are built somewhat similarly on offense to what Jacobs was accustomed to in Baltimore. In many other divisions, that defense would look good on paper, but it's easily the weakest in the division. Every other team finished in the Top 14 in the NFL in Total Defense, but the Chiefs finished 27th. RE Ryan Riddle is the only new starter for that squad, but I doubt that's enough to improve the unit to the level of the Broncos, Hawks, and Raiders. Still, the team finished with a surprise 8-8 record last season. Who's to say it can't happen again?

To elaborate, I am not the biggest fan of JRPGs. What they offer tends to give them lower ceilings in my eyes. Pokemon in particular embodies the tediousness, low thrills, and uneven pacing that I find in many JRPGs. I know that the series is gearing more and more toward the multiplayer element, and while I am a fan of multiplayer games, it just doesn't interest me.

That being said, I find its charm and bizarre journey through a child's eyes very appealing. While they aren't all winners, I, in general, really like the Pokemon designs and with there being so many Pokemon I wasn't familiar with, the short period upon learning that a Pokemon was about to evolve and seeing what it became is quite exhilarating. I also admit that I am feeling nostalgic about something that I was super into for a couple of years in the late 90s/early 2000s.

If I were to have played the series prolifically from 1997 (or whenever) to the present day, I would probably feel super burnt out (and likely would have dropped the series long ago). If I get Ultra Sun/Moon, I would probably wait another five or more years before actually playing it. I might even just wait for a future game as to increase the pool of unfamiliar Pokemon.

Preseason Madden Team Rating Tiers

Each team is assigned an overall team rating based on the collective rating of their starting players on offense, defense, and special teams. I do not use the actual numbers but instead wordy descriptions that are neither funny nor interesting. Tiers will be listed in descending order and within each tier, the teams will be ordered via alphabetical team name.

Cavs/Warriors?
Dolphins
Cowboys

NFC Beast (and others)
Buccaneers
49ers
Giants
Jaguars
Pumpkins
Redskins
Seahawks

Too Many Teams For a Clever Tier Name
Bills
Broncos
Falcons
Hawks
Jets
Packers
Panthers
Patriots
Raiders
Steelers
Vikings
Pioneers

AFC No...? Goddammit I Can't of a Play-On Word for North with a Negative Denotation or Connotation!
Bears
Bengals
Browns
Chiefs
Rams
Ravens
Titans

Probably Didn't Have Playoff Aspirations Anyway
Colts
Lightning
Wildcats

Come Back Peyton!
Lions

Without saving the results obviously, I released a bunch of players at the MLB and DT position to see if the results still matched up with those when I was play-testing for the creation of B8NFLL. With the overall ratings the same, MLBs and DTs ask for essentially the same salary on an annual basis. The largest difference I found was less than $150k.

The problem with your example was that the ratings didn't match. That means A LOT. The higher a player's rating is, the more they expect to be paid, and the relationship between asking price and overall rating can be described as an exponential, not linear.

All PMs have been sent. I plan on simming the preseason tonight somewhere around 9-9:30 PM ET. You can come to the spreadsheet if you want. I will mostly be updating the injury and depth chart sheets while wiping the league leader and schedule/standings sheet while also putting up the new schedule. I might have time to post my seasonal predictions tonight.

For those who don't remember, I am very spot-on (called for great seasons from the 49ers and Bears, called the Raiders my dark horse AFC playoff pick) and hilariously wrong with my predictions (called for Jets, Pioneers, Seahawks, and Pumpkins playoff appearances in each of the past two seasons I believe, said that the Falcons were the #1 lock to make the playoffs last season). I am easily more wrong than right.

I will soon start sending out PMs concerning coaching strategies. Let me break everything down and what your options are for each.

Defensive Alignment - You can either run a 4-3 or a 3-4. A 4-3 has two starting DTs and one starting MLB. A 3-4 has two starting MLBs and one starting DT. The overwhelming majority of the league runs a 4-3, but there is no statistical or financial advantage at the individual or team level for either alignment.

Run/Pass Offense - This is the intended percentage of plays on offense that are run or pass. These are on sliding 100 point scales, and run will always be listed first.

Conservative/Aggressive Offense - This is the intended percentage of plays that are considered conservative or aggressive. I honestly cannot tell you what the game considers to be conservative vs aggressive, but I suppose conservative plays are risk-averse in terms of turnover, loss of yards, and yards gained potential and aggressive plays are risky plays that are more prone to lead to turnovers, loss of yards, and huge yard gains. These are on sliding 100 point scales, and conservative will always be listed first.

RB1/RB2 Splits - This is the theoretical percentage of carries that will divided between the #1 and #2 RB on your depth chart. Personally, I think that the splits more accurately reflect the amount of rushes divided between your #1 RB and your #2 RB/#3 RB/FBs/WRs/TEs/maybe QBs. These are on sliding 100 point scales, and your split cannot go any lower than 51/49.

Run/Pass Defense - This is the intended percentage of plays on defense that are geared toward stopping the run or pass.. These are on sliding 100 point scales, and run will always be listed first.

Conservative/Aggressive Defense - This is the intended percentage of plays that are considered conservative or aggressive. I honestly cannot tell you what the game considers to be conservative vs aggressive, but I suppose conservative plays are risk-averse in terms of turnover, sacks/tackles for loss, and yards allowed potential and aggressive plays are risky plays that are more prone to lead to turnovers, sacks/tackles for loss, and allowing huge yard gains. These are on sliding 100 point scales, and conservative will always be listed first.

Seems that MLB's are cheaper than DT's.

False, unless you want to be pedantic. The difference is extremely negligible. That's the games way of preventing the salary cap from becoming sort of meaningless (as in running a 3-4 or 4-3 doesn't matter in terms of finances).

I can't keep up with this. My life has been so busy that it completely slipped my mind that I have yet to send out coaching strategy PMs. I will send those out before simming the preseason. The break between the preseason and Week 1 will probably be longer than usual.
