We were well within FG range about 4 times and kept going for it and turning the ball over, I figured our go for it settings were screwed up, but then in the fourth quarter SSM with their backs to their goal up 7-0 went for it on like 4th and 10 3 times, so its not just us. Whole game was kind nerfed by this. If we would have won due to them going for it in those retarded situations it would have been tainted, either way im bummed. Anybody else have similar silliness?

Its definitely something in the settings, but it happened when it was 0-0 and repeatedly the entire game.

You are dead on zebo. Being the OC and DC for the gold rush I have a real solid feel for my team. There are about a million and one little bugs I have seen in watching game film on my team and on others, starting with the scrimmage games.
If things don’t improve soon I am pretty much writing off any real shot and doing anything meaningful this season. The game just changes too much from one game to the next right now.

Yeah, I guess we all just forge on and figure it out together as we go. Either that or just gut ourselves...

We went for it on 4th and 6.5 to go on our OPP 41.5 when leading 41-14 with 0:48 left. Seemed like a good time to just punt it away... but I guess we like to run the score up LOL
I searched our settings and found what I believe to be the issue and could also be SSM's. In our 4th Quarter settings, the default Input "Down Late" only specifies down 1-4 with less than 120 seconds left. (No yardline, No Yards to go for 1st, No Score Difference) But on one of the teams I GM for there is a score difference of -1000 and -1. So that is definitely why my team went for it on 4th and long with a lead. Hopefully that helps you to find your issue.
Some may wonder why I'd share this. I want everyone to play as well as they possibly can each and every game. So while I'm not going to share my gameplans with you guys I will help in anyway I can to figure out this new stuff so that the competition in the league continues to be what it has been for the past few seasons.

yeah that game against ssm was a bit tainted...i think they would have won it tho...we had about three opportunities when we were down by 7 to kick field goals and it would have put us up by 2 but then they threw it away on a chance late in the game that would have clinched the game for them by 1...either way a very good defensive outing from both teams.

We were expecting a close one, we were happy ay first with the win but after looking over the game we thought the FGs could have won it for you.
