TheKillerNacho Posted July 18, 2021 Author Share Posted July 18, 2021 Honestly i might consider a pass-only situation but I'd be hard pressed to decide where to start it. There's also potentially teams who have a horrible passing game who might actually be better running for it lol @TL-TwoWinsAwayneglects to mention how he fell behind in the first place... a 38 yard scamper down by 3 with a mere 74 seconds left to play: Q4, 1:14, 2nd & 10 on the PRO 38: Gus Edwards rushes up the middle for a gain of 38 yards. Touchdown. Jason Myers' extra point good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your team knew they were expecting the pass. They sent in Chris Carson on the surprise draw, catching the defense by surprise. He scampered through the defense like a hot knife through butter, before Harold Landry was able save the touchdown. Just needed 5 more yards and it would've seemed like a brilliant playcall! If only you had Gus Edwards... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty crazy back and forth all game long. Defense stepped up in the 4th, clutch 4th down hold. Don't like giving up 32, but by god my offense woke up.

The audacity of the RNG being the difference between winning and losing in a sim. I, for one, am shocked 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Touchdown. Jason Myers' extra point good. Now, in fairness, I wasn't really hiding anything. Yeah, Gus Edwards destroyed my defense to take a lead with 1:01 left. I set my defense against the pass, and held Watson to a 54% completion percentage. I was really pleased with the way they played. I was merely pointing out how ridiculous it feels to watch my "Run Chance: 30" offense run it twice to end the game, down by 4 near midfield with :30 on the clock. Regardless of how I obtained that deficit, that doesn't feel right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of how I obtained that deficit, that doesn't feel right. if i were to program a clause though, when would i put a 100% pass mode to kick in? some would say they should be passing it exclusively at < 1:30 but it worked out for Egypt there. Then I have to put in weird conditional clauses. If you have like 50 seconds left but you're on the 1 yard line, obviously you still want the normal routine to evaluate it to potentially do a running play to force it in. Or if you're down by only 2 but in field goal range, the normal routine will kick back up run chance in the hopes of icing the game with a last minute field goal. i dislike hardcoding 100% chances anywhere and it would frankly be a tad difficult to program the exact conditionals. I already have things in the main routine to lower run chance even further in these situations but i always make sure that it never dips below a few percentage points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuskieTitan Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I'd be against 100% coding it, but you mentioned it was under 5%? Maybe drop it even further, 2-3%? I agree there's still value, and it does seem that on occassion someone gets burned by it so maybe some consideration, but I would fear over-compensating for it.

I would rather lose throwing it at the one than running it at the 17. I can't imagine many people would disagree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, really good points. It's easy for the fan in me to want them to pass in "obvious" passing situations, but not as easy to program. Is that something that could be added to the coaching preferences? "Pass Only Offense (max: 120, min: 0, default: 60): Determines at which time your offense will start to exclusively throw the football (unless your team reaches the opponent's 2 yard line). Setting to 120 means that your team will start at the 2 minute warning of the second half." Edited July 18, 2021 by TL-TwoWinsAway Second half only.

Aaron Rodgers gets sacked by Frank Clark for 9 yards and the game ends. don't even get the second play.@TL-TwoWinsAway That’s crazy.. ggs @TL-TwoWinsAway you’re tough man. All my other wins seem closer but that’s just because I kneeled and didn’t score. Like against my son @RandyMossIsBoss I took a knee at his 3-4 yard line.. and so on. But my god our game was a nail bitter. What an extremely close and tough game.. Rodgers destroyed me. I’ve never seen my d get lit. And by wack Wrs lol. You get him a elite weapon and ooof.
