I did it again. Are my settings wrong?

March 25, 2011 at 05:11PM View BBCode

Didn't kick a FG and let the clock expire with the ball at the 1yd line again.

SD 1/10 SF 15 1st and 10 for the Aztecs, they line up in a Pro Set; the Maulers line up in a 4-3.
Ryan Lindley takes the snap, hands off to Rock Studwell.
Rock Studwell runs up the middle for a 2 yard gain.
The San Diego Aztecs call a time out. They have 0 remaining.
00:09. SD 2/8 SF 13 2nd and 8 for the Aztecs, they line up in a Shotgun; the Maulers line up in a 4-2-5 Nickel.
Ryan Lindley takes the snap and drops back into the pocket.
Lindley is under pressure.
Lindley passes to Malcolm Thomas at the SF 8.
The ball is caught at the SF 8 by Malcolm Thomas.
Thomas dodges a tackle by Fay Peterson.
Pass by Ryan Lindley is completed to Malcolm Thomas for a 12 yard gain.
First down for the San Diego Aztecs!
Time expires before the next play.
00:00 SD --- SF 1 End of 2nd quarter.

Well, it was 2nd and 8 from the 13 yard line and you didn't have any time outs left. You completed the pass and dodged a tackle, but the WR was stopped just shy of the goal line. It was really almost a TD, which you wouldn't be complaining about, so I'm not sure that you did anything wrong or that this was necessarily the wrong call.

Now, on 1st and 10 from the 15 with only 1 time out, there is no way that you should have run the ball and wasted your last time out. I don't know how you can fix that though with your settings, not until we get advanced options.

Of course its the wrong call, they should have kicked the FG on the 2nd and 8. The settings for this situation are illogical and pointless if its going to attribute your last timeout to the play AFTER the play that you call it and not the actual play you call it after. I dont get why this isnt being addressed?

I am working on having it re-evaluate the field goal settings after the timeout and reset time; this should prevent this from happening again.

I would never complain about a TD, Hamilton!
However, I would have taken the 3 pts at 2/8 from the 13.
I understand the game is a work in progress and that's why I've pointed out a flaw in clock mgmt.
