I think what prevented the field goal attempt from taking place is the line in the Last Second Field Goal settings that says "or 6 or fewer seconds with timeouts remaining". Is my guess right? If so, that 6 should be a variable that coaches can change.
Last second field goal settings question
February 14, 2011 at 03:24PM View BBCode
At the end of the 2nd quarter of [url=http://football.simdynasty.com/boxscore.jsp?boxscoreid=1136&thid=117]this game[/url], we returned a punt to our opponent's 27 yard line with 12 seconds left. Really, the logical thing here is to go for the field goal. instead we went with a pass, which got a first down, but time expired!I think what prevented the field goal attempt from taking place is the line in the Last Second Field Goal settings that says "or 6 or fewer seconds with timeouts remaining". Is my guess right? If so, that 6 should be a variable that coaches can change.

That probably should be a setting... I'll take a look at it. Thanks!--Chris

with 14 seconds left in the first half on my opponent's 39 yard line and 1 time out remaining, i would have liked to take a field goal. that "or 6 or fewer seconds with timeouts remaining" is really really low. i'd like to be able to set mine for 20, at least for the end of the first half.

Gosh-gdarn it!! It happened again. At the end of the first half in [url=http://football.simdynasty.com/boxscore.jsp?boxscoreid=1183&thid=117]this game[/url], it was 4 and 14 on my opponent's 34, with 28 seconds remaining and 1 time out remaining!! FG was not attempted because (I assume) the "or 6 or fewer seconds with timeouts remaining" statement. Please make that 6 a variable we can control.

00:00 7 10 NO --- TUL 23
End of 2nd quarter.
Tulsa Wild GreyWolves 7, New Orleans Cajuns 10
At the time, my prefs were as follows:
my preference a the time of the second instance was:
"At the end of the first half, on any down, with less than 25 seconds remaining and no time outs remaining (or 6 or fewer seconds with timeouts remaining), and within 30yards of the goal line and the estimated chance of making a field goal is at least 50%, attempt a field goal."
That game was a little windy : "Clear, 73°F, wind 10 MPH to the west " With 15 seconds left, the no-timeots-left rule should be in effect. Because of the wind, i could maybe see a FG from 40 yards being below 50%, but i'd still like to try it, and lowered the 50% to 40%.
Here is the following game, just before halftime:
00:32. 7 14 NO 2/10 CLE 38
2nd and 10 for the Cajuns, they line up in a Shotgun; the Thunderstrike line up in a 4-3.
Blaine Lomax takes the snap and drops back into the pocket.
Lomax is under pressure.
Lomax passes to Jim Groth at the CLE 22.

00:00 7 14 NO --- CLE 21
End of 2nd quarter.
Cleveland Thunderstrike 7, New Orleans Cajuns 14
my preference a the time of the second instance was:
"At the end of the first half, on any down, with less than 25 seconds remaining and no time outs remaining (or 6 or fewer seconds with timeouts remaining), and within 30yards of the goal line and the estimated chance of making a field goal is at least 40%, attempt a field goal"
This time the weather was better, "Conditions: Clear, 62°F, wind 4 MPH to the northeast ", so j have a hard time thinking that my field goal odds for a 40 yard FG were below 40%.
Here's the kicker:

perhaps the logic predicting the odds of a field goal could be the problem?
