Great write up ecrana.

Thing dang game is killing me. I don't know what the *%$!! is going on with my AI. It called plays for us to go for it on 4th & 10 and 4th & 5 as well as some plays I just don't know about. Great defense by Blacc and the best of luck to them the rest of the way. But if I dont get things fixed with my AI the playoffs doesn't look good. Question for you guys. One of the bug montiors check both Enable AI and Follow my AI setting Exactly. Should both be checked?

I'm sure you'll get different responses depending on how people like to set things up but I always used Enable AI & Follow AI exactly.

You need "Enable" or the AI won't work at all and it will use basic AI. You don't NEED "Follow Exactly" but then you leave your AI at the mercy of the basic AI whenever the sim decides it can't find a matching input/output.

Do you use auto adjust within your AI? I always set that on medium for my packages and never had too big a problem.

I use to just have it on "Enable" but for some reason this season I started having problem. So the Monitor put both on. I didn't have auto adjust on, but he felt that maybe causing some the issue so I have them turn off.

I used to just use "Enable" but a few seasons ago the AI started doing wonky things that weren't in my AI or in the playbook so I started using "Follow Exactly" too and most of that stopped but occasionally I would still see some weird crap get called.

I did use medium auto adjust too. Do you pull plays from your playbook that you never want called? Another thing I did as a back-up measure was tweak the basic settings in case the sim decided that it would revert to those in a certain situation. That was more of a paranoid fail-safe because I don't trust the logic behind most of the sims decisions.

Week 11 Lion Predictions
GOTW

West Yorkshire vs Kalahari
The 3rd & 4th seed battle it out this week. With Nigeria, Cambridge and Rapid City breathing down their necks neither team wants to lose this game and see their grasp on a home playoff game start slipping away. Both teams have had great seasons thus far and belong in talks of top teams in the conference. The Bandits have been a little more impressive this season and will look to their defense to slow down Kalahari. That should give them the edge in this game.

Denver vs Morocco
A game only two teams care about right now.

Carson City vs LHC
Bye

Stockholm vs Ghana
Bye

Colonial vs Botswana
This is a must win for both teams. Colonial's depth on defense could wind up being their fall as Botswana makes a push for a playoff spot.

Sterling vs Cambridge
Cambridge has been doing well and the next 3 weeks will go far in seeding but I don't see this being too close a game.

Phoenix City vs Port Harcourt
Someone's got to get rid of that goose egg this week finally.

Rapid City vs Nigeria
Nigeria is trying to keep pace with Kalahari in the hopes that they can pass them in the rankings for a home playoff spot. They've had an impressive season thus far and can't slip up this week. The Sioux have been equally impressive if a bit under the radar. Both teams are 7-3 and a loss pretty much eliminates that team from home playoff contention.

Week 11 Elephant Predictions
GOTW

Blacc's vs Barcelona
Barcelona is on a bit of a freefall right now after dropping 2 in a row (3 of their last 4). The Bastards however have reversed their fortunes and are looking strong after they lost to Zimbabwe. A close victory against Covington (regardless of the means) puts them in good position for a home game if they can do the same to Barcelona & San Antonio. They just have to show last week wasn't just a fluke.

Mario vs Nile Valley
This should be a good game for these teams. They're finally facing teams that aren't either gutted or way over their levels. With that said, Nile has a huge advantage in depth so I have to go with them.

Mogadishu vs Alexandria
Two teams playing for nothing at this point. Alexandria has a huge outside shot of making the 8th seed if they beat everybody left on their schedule.

Mayotte vs Nigerian
Bye

Toro vs Covington
Bye

Cape Town vs San Antonio
Bye

P-Town vs Warri
Bye

Somalia vs Zimbabwe
I've got to give credit where it's due and Somalia is not having a bad season. BUT we're talking about the top team in the conference right now and I just don't see Somalia doing what no other team has. No one has given the Rebels a close game yet and I don't see that happening here either.

I enjoy reading the write ups. I will be keep a close eye on Blacc's and Bercelona game. This game has playoff positioning importance.

Us as well and we have Yorkshire and Sterling coming. They will be much more entertaining than 255-0. Good luck all.

Week 11 Lion Rankings
1 LHC Naked Turtles (11-0) - Closing in on WYB game.
Next up: Stockholm

2 Sterling Bulldawgs (11-0) - A convincing win over Cambridge. Safe to say they only have to worry about Kalahari & LHC from here on out.
Next up: Port Harcourt

3 West Yorkshire Bandits (10-1) - Huge win over Kalahari keeps them hot on the heels of Sterling & LHC. Week 13 is last big test for them.
Next up: Ghana

4 Nigeria Nightmares (8-3) - Should be a pretty easy schedule from here on out. Cambridge may be only challenge left.
Next up: Denver

5 Kalahari Night Riders (8-3) - Took a big loss against WYB but they should be able to take 3 out of the last 5 with ease leaving them in good shape.
Next up: Phoenix City

6 Cambridge Chieftains (7-4) - Tough loss for Cambridge and the schedule doesn't get too much easier from here on out. No guaranteed losses but they have their work cut out for them.
Next up: Colonial

7 Rapid City Sioux (7-4) - So close to pulling off the upset win. They were shut down offensively but the defense put up 14 points in the 4th to make it a game.
Next up: Botswana

8 Colonial Zoners (7-4) - Big game up next with playoff implications.
Next up: Cambridge

9 Botswana Bone Breakers (5-6) - Tough huge loss. Their schedule is too tough to have any hopes of a playoff push at this point.
Next up: Rapid City

10 Ghana Rhea (6-5) - Same story as Botswana. If they're lucky they finish up at 8-8.
Next up: West Yorkshire

11 Morocco Snake Charmers (3-8) - Finally get third win of the season. A few winnable games left this season but not enough to get them into the playoffs.
Next up: Carson City

12 Denver Assassins (3-8) - Another loss.
Next up: Nigeria

13 Carson City Cadillacs (1-10) - Another loss.
Next up: Morocco

14 Stockholm Polarbears (1-10) - Another loss.
Next up: LHC

15 Phoenix City Warriors (1-10) - First win finally.
Next up: Kalahari

16 Port Harcourt Playmakers (0-11) - Another loss.
Next up: Sterling

Week 11 Elephant Rankings
1 Zimbabwe Rebels (11-0) - Nothing left to worry about until the playoffs. They've beaten every good team by a large margin and are the easy favorites going into the playoffs.
Next up: Mogadishu

2 Mayotte Metal Militia (10-1) - After a week off the Militia kicks off a rough 3 week stretch against Covington.
Next up: Covington

3 Blacc's Bastards (9-2) - Huge win over Barcelona after squeezing by Covington. Looking really impressive right now and with a game against MMM they have a shot at the 2 seed.
Next up: San Antonio

4 Covington Black Knights (8-3) - Covington has a shot at knocking MMM down a peg in the standings and helping themselves move up in the process.
Next up: Mayotte

5 San Antonio Venom (8-3) - Two teams I thought would do well early in the season are facing off this week. Should be a great game and could go either way.
Next up: Blacc's

6 Barcelona Blaze (7-4) - The Blaze have really fallen on hard times the last 5 weeks. After opening up 6-0 they've won one game out of the last 5. Things don't bode well for them in the playoffs if the last 3 games are any indicators.
Next up: Toro

7 Somalia Warlords (8-3) - They get a week off before starting a 3 week nightmare stretch that could really through the standings for a loop.
Next up: Nigerian

8 Warri Delta Warriors (5-6) - It's going to be a logjam for the 8th seed but Warri is in good shape to take it if they don't slip up.
Next up: Cape Town

9 Cape Town Great Whites (4-7) - It's going to be hard for the Whites to make any push at the playoffs this season.
Next up: Warri

10 Mario Maniacs (5-6) - A week after stumbling against Warri the Maniacs come out and pick up a much needed win. It won't help much in the playoff race though with that last months worth of games looking like a hellish stretch.
Next up: Alexandria

11 Nile Valley Vipers (4-7) - This last loss could have cost them the 8th seed.
Next up: P-Town

12 Alexandria Barbarians (4-7) - Can the Barbarians shock the conference and win out to take the 8th seed?
Next up: Mario

13 Mogadishu Juggernaut (2-9) - Another loss.
Next up: Zimbabwe

14 Toro Nation (2-9) - Another loss
Next up: Barcelona

15 Nigerian Nightmares (0-11) - Another loss.
Next up: Somalia

16 P-Town Ballaz (0-11) - Another loss.
Next up: Nile Valley

Hey Dave,

Do you have the link to the script that you are using?

For some reason my old scripts and even the ones i reinstalled aren't running correctly. They keep hanging at different percentages into doing the rankings.

Week 12 Lion Rankings
1 LHC Naked Turtles (12-0) - With the season coming to a close LHC is bordering on perfection. They have two big games remaining but if they escape those unbeaten they will have cemented their place as the #1 seed and easy favorites to make it to the Championship game.
Next up: West Yorkshire

2 Sterling Bulldawgs (12-0) - Sterling also has 2 big games remaining on schedule. They would love to see LHC slip up and improve their odds of taking the #1 seed but they had better beware that they do not overlook Kalahari first.
Next up: Kalahari

3 West Yorkshire Bandits (11-1) - The Bandits slipped up once this season and have done a great job of staying on the heels of the 1 & 2 seeds. They have a shot of taking down the 1 seed this week and if they can do that there is no one left to challenge them this season.
Next up: LHC

4 Nigeria Nightmares (9-3) - The Nightmares have it pretty easy the rest of the season. They had a close call against Rapid City though so the week 15 game against Cambridge could be an interesting one with playoff implications.
Next up: Morocco

5 Kalahari Night Riders (9-3) - Kalahari will have to win out if they hope to move up for a home playoff game. They don't have too many tough games remaining but this weeks match against Sterling will be a stiff test.
Next up: Sterling

6 Cambridge Chieftains (8-4) - The Chieftains bounced back from the Sterling loss by taking down Colonial in a hard fought game that saw them score the final 17 points in regulation to tie it up before scoring in OT for the win. With Rapid City & Nigeria still left there is no room for rest.
Next up: Rapid City

7 Rapid City Sioux (8-4) - A big game against Cambridge coming up with another against Kalahari to follow. Winning both could go a long way towards an easier first round draw.
Next up: Cambridge

8 Colonial Zoners (7-5) - A very tough loss for the Zoners this week. They gave up the games final 24 points to lose in OT. They still have to face Kalahari & LHC so their grasp on the 8th seed is in jeopardy. The week 15 game against Ghana will probably decide their fate.
Next up: Port Harcourt

9 Botswana Bone Breakers (5-7) - Botswana lost any shot at the playoffs when they lost to Colonial. Compounded with the loss against Rapid City and the fact that Nigeria & Cambridge are still on tap they have no shot at the playoffs if they can't pull off some miracles in the coming weeks.
Next up: Denver

10 Ghana Rhea (6-6) - The Phoenix game is most likely the last win of their season. Outside shot of making the playoffs if they can beat Colonial though.
Next up: Phoenix City

11 Morocco Snake Charmers (4-8) - Back to back wins won't be enough to give them a strong push into the playoffs with Nigeria & WYB still left.
Next up: Nigeria

12 Denver Assassins (3-9) - Another loss.
Next up: Botswana

13 Carson City Cadillacs (1-11) - Another loss.
Next up: Stockholm

14 Stockholm Polarbears (1-11) - Another loss.
Next up: Carson City

15 Phoenix City Warriors (1-11) - Another loss.
Next up: Ghana

16 Port Harcourt Playmakers (0-12) - Another loss.
Next up: Colonial

Week 12 Elephant Rankings
1 Zimbabwe Rebels (12-0) - Coasting for the rest of the season.
Next up: Mogadishu

2 Blacc's Bastards (10-2) - The Bastards get a bye week before they face MMM. After 3 impressive wins they move up the rankings due to MMMs downward spiral. They get to show whether it was a deserved move in another week.
Next up: Toro

3 Covington Black Knights (9-3) - The Knights have had some technical issues this season that could have cost them games. I've no doubt they are one of the top teams in the conference but they need to try and find a way to stave off the bad effects of an illogical sim. With Somalia as their only real threat left they could squeeze into the top 4 seeds if MMM continues to fall.
Next up: Somalia

4 Mayotte Metal Militia (10-2) - Mayotte is having a tough time winning against top teams right now. Things don't bode well for a home playoff game if this drop continues.
Next up: Barcelona

5 San Antonio Venom (8-4) - The Venom dropped an important game to Blacc's but their remaining schedule is still manageable. MMM should be the only hard game left for them. Hard to see them moving up to a home playoff spot though.
Next up: Warri

6 Barcelona Blaze (8-4) - Barcelona has been another team freefalling. With MMM & Somalia the next 2 weeks things won't get any easier for them. They should still make the playoffs easily though.
Next up: MMM

7 Somalia Warlords (9-3) - Tough game against the Knights up next. Barcelona & Blacc's are still on schedule too making this one of the harder remaining schedules for a playoff team. I was going to move them ahead of Barcelona but with that game coming soon I'll just wait to see how things go this week.
Next up: Covington

8 Warri Delta Warriors (6-6) - The Warriors still have 2 very tough games remaining that are pretty much guaranteed losses. That leaves Nile Valley & Alexandria games as their biggest games of the season if they hope to make the 8th seed.
Next up: San Antonio

9 Cape Town Great Whites (4-8) - The loss to Warri puts a big damper on any playoff hopes. They have 3 tough games ahead and with no chance of beating Zimbabwe they are realistically eliminated.
Next up: Nile Valley

10 Alexandria Barbarians (5-7) - The Barbarians are out to stun the conference. With 4 winnable games remaining, 2 of which are against teams vying for the 8th seed, they have a legitimate shot of shocking everyone and making it to the playoffs after a 3-7 start.
Next up: P-Town

11 Mario Maniacs (5-7) - 3 guaranteed losses remain so the young Maniacs are eliminated from any playoff talks.
Next up: Zimbabwe

12 Nile Valley Vipers (5-7) - Another young team. The ONLY shot they have at the playoffs is to beat Cape Town, Warri & Alexandria to win some tiebreakers. Safe to say they are pretty much eliminated as well.
Next up: Cape Town

13 Mogadishu Juggernaut (2-10) - Another loss.
Next up: Nigerian

14 Toro Nation (2-10) - Another loss
Next up: Blacc's

15 Nigerian Nightmares (0-12) - Another loss.
Next up: Mogadishu

16 P-Town Ballaz (0-12) - Another loss.
Next up: Alexandria
