My own Fault - Congrats New York

January 17, 2011 at 09:18PM View BBCode

I forgot to put Milt Young back in the starting lineup for my playoff game after resting him in the final game of the season, also forgot to put my starting TE back in.

Great play on the last play of the game as New York stuffs the Rain from the 1 yard line for what would have been the tying TD after BC scored 3 TDs in the fourth quarter, two on punt returns .

I am surprised that the Rain didn't get off another play after that stuff; they should have been in hurry-up mode, and the timer expiration message should have said "Time expires before the next play", so I'm wondering if there's a subtle bug in there somewhere.

Still, exciting 4th quarter there :)

By the way, looking at the game logs, Bandy was brought down at the 1.1 yard line, and the "short gain" by Curtis brought the ball to 10.8 inches away from the goal line (0.3 yards).

Hey if you want to replay the last 30 seconds I'm cool with that :D

I'm just always on the lookout for subtle bugs. It's more likely a display bug, that I am sending the wrong play by play text ID. The play by play does not actually store the text on the fly, just codes as to what happened and the system uses a lookup table of 100 sentences to reconstruct the game for human consumption, which leads to bizarre looking results if I store the wrong code.

The list of play-by-play sentences is kinda fun to look at, it's like a little history of the game development as you can see exactly the order in which features were added. :)

what a game....

The back-and-forth interceptions in the first quarter, the back-and-forth punting stalemate in the 2nd. 2 punt return tds in the 4th, and a stop within inches of the goal line. If this was real life, we'd be talking about this one for decades...

end of the first half was a bit dramatic as well, with time expiring before my Knights could kick a short field goal
