At the 2:00 mark in the 2nd Quarter of HAM vs. CHA, HAM drops back to throw the ball deep and the CHA defense "keys" on the play. But I do not understand why.
First of all, I thought that "keying" was turned off during the final 2 minutes of each half, due to the unique nature of end-of-half/game play calling?
Secondly, this was the reverse play sequence for HAM prior to the "keying" taking place, and it doesn't make sense that the defense would expect a deep pass there.
1) The deep pass in question, this is the play they keyed.
2) An encroachment penalty (shouldn't even count, since no real play was run)
3) Punt
4) A deep pass (this would be #2 counting towards the keying)
5, 6, 7, 8, and 9) Running plays (yes, 5 consecutive running plays)
10) A 20-yard completion
So ... unless the sim is counting back 10 plays instead of 5, I don't see any way that the defense would/could recognize a deep pass and "key in" on the above sequence.
What am I missing here?

Furthermore, it is my understanding that any time that the sim is going to let the defense "key in" it gives the offense another chance (or multiple chances) to call a different play, since the goal is to punish abuse but allow for variations if needed by a person who gets caught by the "key" on accident. According to my strategy tester, in that situation, I would be 10% likely to call a long shotgun pass. 10%. Why didn't we just run a different play?

OK. Now I am even more confused. We lined up in the pro set and he dropped back to pass. That isn't even an option on my play calling strategies. Sometimes, I have no clue at all what this football sim even does.

Are you talking about a different play? The play at Q2/2:00 was lined up in a Shotgun.
I am looking into the rest of your post now.

It is turned off in the final 90 seconds of each half.

It counted #2. The plan is stored before the snap. In this case since the penalty occurs before the snap, the play did not have a chance to develop, so the defense never sees it; however, it is already recorded in the plan log. I don't have a good way to fish it back out; I will need to figure one out, though, as you are right, this shouldn't count.
Also, I think the threshold is triggering earlier than it should. I think I tightened this down intentionally at one time, but it really should be a notch less sensitive.

The code for this looks correct; I am putting in extra logging to make sure it is correct. Of course it is possible for a 10% play to be repeatedly selected, but with the extra logs I'll make sure there isn't a seeding issue.

Starting at the 6:30 mark of the 1st quarter Tennessee goes:
1st & 10 - Pro Set, run
2nd & 5 - Pro Set, play action pass
1st & 10 - Pro set, run
2nd & 5 - I formation, run
3rd & 8 - Pro Set, pass
punt
next possession
1st & 10 - Pro set, run
2nd & 11 - Shotgun, pass
3rd & inches - Pro Set, run
1st & 10 - Shotgun, The defense is keyed in ???????
What are they keyed in on ? The previous eight plays have featured 3 different formations with 5 runs, 2 passes and a play action .

The formation isn't the issue, it's the distance of the pass. Medium shotgun, medium sideline and medium pass are all lumped together, for example.Chris

Also - the Hot Reads dont seem to be correct. I watched a bunch of games the last three days and it seems that when the QB cant find the read he does better than when he can. I saw it about 20 times. I would guess that about 7 out of 10 times when the QB "canīt find the read" heīs completed the pass and 4 of 10 times when he does find the read heīs completed the pass. Maybe itīs just my games, but itīs happened on both sides

The keyed-In only works on long passes. I see almost no effect on Med or Short.Also - the Hot Reads dont seem to be correct.

Regardless, how can they be "keyed in" when only 3 of the past eight plays have been passes ?

Because the punt doesn't count, and right now it can be triggered on the third play. It needs to be triggered on the fourth play.
