From this game: http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=112411

With a 10-6 lead with less than 2 minutes left in the 4th quarter, the last series by Red Deer In The Headlights has the last 3 plays of:

1:56 1st & 10 OPP 38 Brains Thinksalot pass to Fastee McFasterson over the middle [deflected by Pop Lock And Drop It] (incomplete)
1:53 2nd & 10 OPP 38 Brains Thinksalot pass to Fastee McFasterson over the middle [deflected by Pop Lock And Drop It] (incomplete)
1:50 3rd & 10 OPP 38 Brains Thinksalot pass to Steaming Iceburg up the right side (incomplete)

When I do a test in the offensive AI with those 3 plays as the criteria, the game says Red Deer should be running 100% at that point. Instead of doing that, it passed 3 times in a row. I have auto adjust off. Could I be missing an input? Everything looks fine to me...

Thanks

Check your 4th quarter specific settings, especially the 'Down late' one.

'Down Late' and all the other comeback plays I have in the AI are set to come in between -1 and -100 score differential. They look fine to me. The Offensive AI tester picks the right play regardless of those comeback plays.

i've been having similar problems. i did adjust the AI, but something is fishy. i'm gonna keep a close eye on this stuff.

Still think it's some AI setting. You had 5 runs in a row when there were 2-5 minutes left. Once it got under 2 minutes it started passing.

Show us the result of the AI tester.

That wouldn't be down late..That'd be "Late Lead".

If your "Late Lead" is not at the top of the 4th quarter playlist, another call could take precedence. That's all I can think of.

Well it appears now that it is an AI issue... left the Offensive AI Tester tab open in Firefox, hit "test" again, and it came up showing a different AI play being run to get into field goal range instead of the original one to run out the clock. Bugger if I know what changed.

Thanks guys.

Huh, that's weird. Sure it wasn't the GM changing settings between tests?

Could be. It's working grand now tho. I'll have to fire him later.

...shouldn't it be "between -100 and -1"?

That differential will only work when you are losing.(down points)

And to the poster above, No, the order of the numbers is of no consequence.
