Warrior General Games

Because I was pretty much told in suggestions by a mod that he didnt see anything wrong with my team running the ball and fumbling on first down on the 7 yard line instead of lining up and kicking the game winning field goal. According to him had it been 4th down we would have kicked the ball, to which I said so I have to run the ball 3 times in a row and hope I dont get a first down or turn the ball over to be able to be able to kick the field goal.

I was told that pretty much this was not a problem and that I should fix my builds and that having situation inputs like this could be abused. When I asked for explanation on his opinion as to why this is not an issue he simply said "I dont care either way, I just dont see an issue with it." So I ask GLB do you guys see an issue with this?

yes but every team has the same issue, its not just you. my team was at the 10, got sacked 3 times, then we punted. ya it's shitty but it's pretty much lolcasual tactics so shit happens.

So why not fix it? It's a common sense thing so I don't see how it couldn't be encorporated into the game any more than going for it on 4th and short when up by a TD or whatever it is or whatever input there is already in the tactics. Yea is a problem for everyone but it should be a problem for NO ONE.

lol

ya it would be nice if they added a "IN SAFE FG RANGE OT" option to kick FGs, but i see that also as being the first one in a domino effect. Add a little more tactic here, little more here, then eventually we'll be at GLB1 tactics again.

Not saying more control is bad, I got pissed when i punted lol

I doubt an OT field goal input would cause a domino effect lol I'd get it if it were something more complex like when to go for 2 but this is a common sense thing

Is it a common sense thing?

Do normal teams line up for a FG in sudden death over time with plenty of time on the clock on first down? It seems more logical to try for it multiple times before kicking a FG. Especially with "low level" kickers that are pretty inconsistent.

plus they sometimes run the ball to put it right in the middle.

a lot of teams in the NFL just kick it when theyre close... especially the 7. pretty sure in reg season OT, once any points are scored the game is over.

Umm..no NFL is not sudden death OT anymore.

Well now you are putting words in my mouth. I see plenty wrong with fumbling the ball on first down.

even in reg season? i thought it was just playoffs the other team got a chance to score.

idk though, my team loses by 50 every game so i dont get to watch OT.

That's not actually true anymore. NFL OT rules now are this:

(a) Both teams must have the opportunity to possess the ball once during the extra period, unless the team that
receives the opening kickoff scores a touchdown on its initial possession, in which case it is the winner, or if
the team kicking off to start the overtime period scores a
safety on the receiving team’s
initial possession, in
which case the team that kicked off is the winner.
(b) If the team that possesses the ball first does not score on its initial possession, the team next scoring by any
method shall be the winner.
(c) If the team that possesses the ball first scores a field goal on its initial possession, the other team (the
second team) shall have the opportunity to possess the ball.
(1) If the second team scores a touchdown on its possession, it is the winner.
(2)
If
the second team scores a field goal on its possession, the team next scoring by any method shall be
the winner


Not exactly cut and dry.
