Solution #7. Don't use the offense's timeouts starting at 2 minutes, wait to use them maybe with 45 seconds left. (This would be a change both for the 2nd quarter and also in tie games in the 4th.)
Solution #8. Save 1 timeout for the final seconds of the 2nd quarter, or for the final seconds of the 4th quarter if the game is tied. (This would be an easy fix and I really can't see a reason not to do it.)

or maybe

Solution #1. Instead of checking the AI based on the remaining game time at the time the previous play ends, instead first take off however much is the minimum amount of time between plays (maybe that's 10 seconds for a spike ball or hurry up), and then check the AI. To use the above example, let's say the runner is tackled with 32 seconds left. In our case the AI would have been checked at maybe 22 seconds and we would have kicked the field goal.
Solution #2. In the last 45 seconds or so of a half, keep checking the AI as the clock drains down to see if there is a different input that would dictate using less play block in-between plays (i.e. field goal or spike ball instead of run play). To use the above example, again let's say the runner is tackled with 32 seconds left. Instead of just checking the AI at 32 second and deciding to run them all off, check the AI again at 31 seconds, 30 seconds, etc...
Solution #3, Re-check the AI with 1 second left (before time expires) at the end of a half.
Solution #4. Some combination of #1 and #2.

You should be able to tell the AI when to start calling TOs TBH. If you do it your way with not calling TOs until 45 seconds, it only fixes half of the problem..... the other half being the lack of a "hurry up" offense. I mean, does it really matter how your team wastes 1:15 off the clock, either from 2:00 down to :45 or from 1:15 to 0:00?


Yes, it does matter.

There is a hurry up offense, both at the end of the first half, and in the second half when trailing.

Thus it is important to save the timeouts until later, because for an especially important scenario, let's say you're down 10, you run hurry-up and score with 1:20 left without using your timeouts. Now you have 3 timeouts left with which to make a stop on defense. But if you had used your timeouts on offense, the other team would just be able to take a knee as soon as they get the ball back.

Or like I said earlier, if it's the end of the half, if you get the ball back with 2 minutes left, go three-and-out and punt--If you saved your timeouts instead of using them, you would give the other team less time to score.

Jesus someone should send that replay to bort. 31 seconds to spike the damn ball in field goal range for a shot to win the game? wtf is that?

For about 13 seasons now perhaps the two glaring, ignored issues have been: 1. time between, during plays and 2. no two point conversions.

1 will probably get fixed in 3 or 4 seasons. 2, probably never.

I'm guessing Bonn didn't have the spike ball in their AI there. Still should have had plenty of time to run a play though IMO. If they did have spike in their AI, then it's worse than I thought.

We actually had the sit on ballcarrier post-play option enabled.
