Who cares how many plays a team uses. A win is a win. There are no style points in the standings, boys.

I'm not sure if there was a penalty for running so many. I still haven't watched the game though I plan too sometime soon. I'll ask dead ed but I dont think there is that much of a penalty. I also don't see anything wrong with running the same plays over and over, because if you have weakness, you supposed to attack it and it's our job to fix it.

45 times the same play was ran against us. If there were really a penalty, it would've started going for negative yardage, don't you think???

He's right...holy crap....you know I didn't even check to see what happened on that game...Thanks for that...I checked AI on that game....went 60%run 8 different plays 40% pass 7 different plays....that play was set at 32 percent 1-2 down ...for your team. WOW...can't believe I didn't pick that up....spending so much time gaming O and D for next game didn't back check...

I'm kind of late with this, sorry. I fell asleep and watched the game late. Anywho,

GG Gondwana, a nailbiter all the way to the end. Had me cussing and talking to myself. lol

I remember hearing in a Q&A session that Bort said that if an offense calls the same play too many times, the defense starts to get a bonus against that play and that bonus grows each time they call it. I believe the bonus involves a boost to Vision/Speed/Agility, but don't remember exactly. Bort wouldn't pinpoint the exact number, but hinted that it was around the 12-15 range. Not sure how big that bonus would be if you call a play 15-20 times, but it's got to be at least decent by the time you hit 20 plays. Bort also said it doesn't matter when in the game you call it or the personnel you use, only the number of times that specific play is called matters.

That could be. I only watched the first half of our game where you put up 28 pts and your team put up 0 in the second half so I'd have to go look to see if the SB Pitch isn't as successful in the 2nd half or you just ran it less. For the record I don't care that you ran it as much as you did, I knew it was a big weakness in my D but I've been too busy to make any changes as I tend to always put GLB on cruise control in the summer time due to a demanding work schedule (the downside of living in a place where people go to vacation ). Any coordinator would do the same if they sound an apparent whole (though the most I ever set a play to run in a scenario is 15% mainly just because you never know when a team is gonna fix the problem) with the exception being 4th down situations where I have favorite plays but those scenarios are less frequent in games then say 1st and 2nd down scenarios.

I was curious on this and will confirm that it was indeed called 45 times!

Sac's play calling:

HB Slam Weak 45
HB SB Pitch Left 5
QB I Form Sneak L 5
QB SB Roll L 5
FB Pro Belly 2
HB Pro Blast 1
WR I Med Cross 1

HB Slam Weak was run on 70.3% of the plays called by Sac.

-that's pretty crazy

What, you thought I made it up? Honestly, I think the SIM is getting worse about crap like this and a few other bugs. I spent 45 minutes last night on our cap 30 team trying to figure out a) what a particular play was (didn't really look like anything I had in a package), and b) how the heck 2 custom positions were occupied by people not listed in those positions on the depth chart.

On another note, go watch some DSBM footage. We must be the easiest team to tackle in the whole SIM. Teams get more diving tackles against us than I ever remember seeing -- even if we're in between 3 defensive dots in a circle jerk, one of them dives to tackle us.

That's Sacramento If memory serves me right they won a couple of games one season using nothing but the goalline formation the entire game. Not ragging on MVikings because its perfectly legal and if thats what it takes to win , so be it. If I see a team not covering the 5 wide cross, I guarentee you I will run it 20 times.

I've had the sim call QB sneak twice already on 4th and long when I don't have it in my AI. (It is in the play book)

4th and Long......................

Are your 4th and Long settings set to like... 10-99 yards.. or did you accidentally cut it short at like 10-20 yards. Could be a .5 yard thing as well if you have 4th and med set to 5-8 yards and 4th and Long set to 9-20 yards.

Or are you trying to punt within the 30? That will always call a random play.
