Strange Decisions in Week 7

December 09, 2010 at 08:40PM View BBCode

With 1:27 left in the first half, trailing only 14-7 and facing a fourth and 17 on their own 33 yard line Miami go for it .

If this is a coaches setting OK, it's an odd one but I can live with it but after BC completes a pass to take it to the Miami 10 Miami then calls time-out.

That's just wrong.

By the way, helped by the fourth down failure and a late interception the Rain scored 21 points in 1:40 to turn a close game into a 28-7 halftime lead.

See the game [url=http://footballbeta.simdynasty.com/boxscore.jsp?boxscoreid=1235&thid=106]here[/url].

Yeah, the defensive timeout logic doesn't make any sense at all.

I was also looking at the Vulcans-Bighorns game. This is at the end of the second half:

00:44. 14 14 BIR 4/10 LAA 32 4th and 10 for the Vulcans, they line up in a Pro Set; the Bighorns line up in a 4-3.
Greg Scott takes the snap and drops back into the pocket.
Scott passes to Ike Allen at the LAA 1.
The ball is caught at the LAA 1 by Ike Allen.
Pass by Greg Scott is completed to Ike Allen for a 30 yard gain.
First down for the Birmingham Vulcans!
The Birmingham Vulcans call a time out. They have 2 remaining.

Hamilton, was going for that 4th down supported by your preferences?

I'm Miami, I just checked my settings, there's nothing in them to support going for it in that situation. There's a bug somewhere.

Timeout logic is definately screwey, I need to rearrange the code to fix it though so we may have to live with that for a few more games.

OK, I think I've found and fixed the "going for it" problem. I'd put in some code to fix the issue of the AI buring a bunch of running plays followed by timeouts, but I put it in the wrong place and this was overriding some of the correct 4th down logic. Sorry about that.

Yes, I did that on purpose.
