GG, Hitmen. I may lose a lot fans on GLB when I say this, but the sim obviously wanted you to win. It even went so far as to screw us in certain situations regardless of the AI inputs I had entered. GL in the finals and congrats on your perfect season so far. With the way things have been going for you guys I expect nothing less than total domination by you in the League Championship.
GG BMW. I gotta say I agree with McGovern here, but I actually have a theory behind it. I actually changed our offense to 85% run and 15% pass. Also, I watched your D where you take your RDE and have him go into the short flat on every play, so I set our offense to run to the left or middle left on every play to take advantage of that; yet the sim continued to run to the right. Also, I haven't touched our DEF AI since week 7 and I just checked the DAI during the PBP and for a 5WR set our DAI showed no matching inputs. Just confused is all. I just wish what we had set up in AI actually worked.
I will say this isn't the first time I have heard of teams complaining about the sim in the playoffs. My theory on the offensive AI is that if you make changes to your AI or playbook; it takes some time for your team to efficiently run the "new" offense and since I didn;t have time to practice or efficiently run our offense, the sim make changes to the AI thqt has been called. that's my theory cause otherwise I have no clue why certain things happened. Just frustrating. I spent a lot of time game planning and when the AI adjusted to what I called it worked. I made a change in our Kickoff and Punt teams and we held Toby Flenderson to a 23 yard kickoff average and a 7 yard punt return average. I spent a lot of time yesterday checking and checking and triple checking our AI.
But, for the AI that was played, BMW kicked our butts. So GL to you guys against Heidelberg.
Like I said, I think I had you guys all figured out. We took the return game away, we wanted to hammer it left all game and throw in a few passes to our HB and TE. I think if the sim did what we had intended, the outcome would have been different. But it wasn't so, back to the drawing board for Season 10.
Yea,Yea,Yea and "The Dog ate your home work Also !" Just except the fact you were out planned by your competitor ! Nope, not at all. The game was played, we got beat by BMW.
I'd be happy to have anyone who wants to take a look into our tactics. You can easily take a look from game to game if you want as well. Just look at our O line set up in games 7 - 18 and then our setup in game 19 and you'll see that I made changes to our lineup and depthchart. You'll see our best run blockers are all to the left.
I truly meant GG to BMW and GL to them against HH. It's not meant to be a slam against them. For the plays that ran, they did an awesome job in stopping them. All kudos to their squad. But even in defeat, it can still be frustrating when things don't work right.
I could pull out several plays that didn't work right.
How is this not a sack -
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=585825&pbp_id=20632110I can see that he fell down or something, but he kept moving forward and went through the QB? No one else does that when they fall....
We have one DEF play in our AI for Shotgun 5 WR. This is it -
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=585825&pbp_id=20632110. That is all we run. But somehow, this play was put in/run -
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=585825&pbp_id=20632139. How does that happen? I checked for the DAI (in Greasemonkey) on that play and it said there were no matches found. Meaning that our basic settings were used to call a play for us. How can that happen? Just answer me that. We have 1 play in our DAI for a 5WR set. check every past game we've played. Seriously, what team in the playoffs calls a 4-1-6 MLB Blitz Cover 2 against a 5 WR set? If we had used that play all year, we would have gotten beat consistently. That plays leaves a man wide open (uncovered) every play. I'll send out an invite to be a GM to anyone who wants to look at our DAI or our OAI. I'm sure I will have no takers because it would be too painful to see that I am correct. IF you think I am wrong, I'm happy to be proven wrong, shown my faults and eat crow.
Art the end of the day, we were certainly outgameplanned for what we ran. I just gameplanned something different and it didn't run.
