Sometimes the sim doesn't make the best decisions...

SO the Dogs get the ball with 7:40 left in the half, drive and score leaving 1:15 on the clock.

They kick off, it is a touchback and they start at the 20.

First down incomplete,
second down, a dumpoff pass for -1 yards,
then the sim CALLS A TIMEOUT
the on third down the QB is sacked, and the sim CALLS ANOTHER TIMEOUT

Now it is about to be 4th and 15 from your own 15 and you call a timeout???? I can maybe see the first one.

So the Reign punts, one play later the Dogs Score

They kick off again, and the first play after that is a pick six

So the sim cost the Reign 14 points in under a minute by taking timeouts after a 3rd and long sack.

Although, down in the 4th I guess you would want that timeout, prob not at halftime. Too bad we can't control when timeouts are called, seems like it would be an easy addition to the AI.

Thats ridiculous that they put that in and then don't allow the GM's the ability to control it. That could be huge in a tight game...especially when the playoffs roll around.

they weren't gonna win anyway, but still.

lol yeah it was bullshit but like you said just a scrimmage hehe. just hope it doesnt happen like that in a real game

This has been going on ever since I got to GLB. Now that they post the TO's, the appalling stupidity of it is going to wash the suggestion forum with outcrys.

Gauranteed to happen: If you get the ball inside your 20 with under a minute or 2 before the half, yeah you are thinking "run out the clock and lets go to the locker room for half" but the sim will use your timouts! So you end up punting with PLENTY of time on the half clock and the opp gets the return to about midfield. Pow scoring chance.

Also: those last second FG attempts before half / game end. The sim calls your timeouts with like 40 or 50 seconds left and you try the kick. Now you have to KO and the other team gets a chance. You want to scream at your monitor "No! Run the clock down to 2 or 3 seconds, then kick!"

GLB has been doing this every season. It does give away points.
