Here's the scenario. We were up by 34 in the 3rd Qtr. 12 mins left. 4th and 0.5 from our own 34.5 yard line. Now I'm not complaining because we converted the 4th down. I'm just wondering if the sim will automatically go for a 4th down if there is a high probability we will convert.
Nothing in my AI instructs the sim to go for it in this situation. It is instructed to punt. Does anyone know anything about this and why it happened?
When I ran a test here is what came back:
