The timeouts are killing me

January 05, 2011 at 05:20PM View BBCode

In [url=http://footballbeta.simdynasty.com/boxscore.jsp?boxscoreid=1300&thid=105]the BIR vs. WAS[/url] game, 2nd quarter, :26 remaining. I complete a pass on 3rd and 7 for 4 yards, bringing up 4th and 3 from my own 16, then I called a timeout instead of letting the clock run out. The ensuing punt was returned for a TD. Ugh.

00:32. BIR 3/7 BIR 12 3rd and 7 for the Vulcans, they line up in a Pro Set; the Redskins line up in a 4-3.
Greg Scott takes the snap and drops back into the pocket.
Scott passes to Larry Nowak at the BIR 17.
The ball is caught at the BIR 17 by Larry Nowak.

00:26. BIR 4/2 BIR 16 4th and 2 for the Vulcans, they line up in a Punt Tight Protect; the Redskins line up in a Punt Return.
Jim Younger takes the long snap.

Time outs are not particularly logical at this time .

Look on the bright side though Hammy, you're really just playing for a draft pick at this point so giving up a late TD is like a little bonus .

I was out of town for the 28/29th and 31st of December, so I missed all of the settings when things went live. Bam! 6 game losing streak. It is bad. Really bad.

I thought I had fixed the time out before punt bug. It is supposed to try to run out the clock in this situation. I will check it again. I may not have uploaded code since I fixed it.
