4th Down

September 20, 2011 at 01:41AM View BBCode

Can we get additional options on 4th down?

We currently have:

If losing and there are less than xxx seconds remaining in the game, go for it.

Could we get this with options like this?

if down by 3 or more within ____ yards and there are less than ___

if down by 7 or more within ____ yards and there are less than ____

if down by 14 or more within ____ yards and there are less than ___

Yeah I'd like to go for it on 4th down more often as well .

There should also be a setting for 4th downs inside the opponent 5.

I would probably like to go for it inside the 2 most of the time.

If youre down 14 with 6 min to play and its 4 and 2, you have to be able to go for it there

I think the best way to go at this is not "if down by 3 or more within ____ yards and there are less than ___", but rather, something like:

On 4th down, with between __ (yards) and __ yards to go, go for it in __ (zone name or yardage) part of the field if the score is between __ and __ (negative values for losing, positive values for being ahead) and the time remaining is between __ and __.

Incredibly complicated, I know, but it's the only real way to make 4th down decisions worthwhile.
