Warrior General Games

Three seperate teams I follow have had their low/lowest priority plays called a ton the last few games... for example a few medium long pass plays (4 WR unders) I have at 1 bar priority have been trigger more than my 5 bar priority. This is also true of my running plays (highest 5-bar priority being QB rush plays, triggered 3 times, vs 20+ rush p;lays with 1 bar priority).

I've seen this today with Nebraska, HBurg, and Ellix... I havent watched any other games. Am I the only one seeing this? Has something been changed Corndog/Bort?! I noticed this for yesterdays ladder games too, but figured it was fluky until I saw it again today for league games.

edit: vipermaw82 says he's seeing it too

its been a few days but I bitched about this in my team forum about a week ago. mine was a bit different of a scenario. It had to do with inside/outside rushing.

this was my post

This was a loss that sucks! I think we are better but we for whatever reason kept running outside. I set my inside tactics and I am at a loss for why we kept running outside so much. I knew what they were going to do and it was exactly what they did but it kept calling outside f*cking run plays.

80-20 inside run on first down but it seemed like every first down almost was a freaking sweep. This pisses me off beyond belief. I hate when this sh*t happens. 2nd down was also set at 65-35 on medium 4-7 yards but we just kept sweeping. I dont understand!

End Rant

I double checked my game this morning I guess everything seems within reason.

As an example - only had 7 plays in the pass book and all were rated at 5 priority. They were run 9 to 2 times which I guess would be in the realm of random

On runs - seems 5 priority were run 7 and 5 times.
4 priority was run 5 times
3 priority was run 5 and 3 times


Does anyone know how priority really works? Is it like a lottery system? a 5 rating is represented 5 times....a 4 is 4 times etc?

I am pretty sure it works up to 100%.

tdiddy having 20+ rushing plays outside his qb runs at 1 priority and lets say 4 qb rush plays at 5 priority lays it out as his other rushes taking up 20% of his playcalling give or take RNG. Sounds like he has less than 4 QB rush plays though so of course that is going to up the ante on his other 20 rushes.

I'm not sure he was saying he has 20 HB rush plays. Just that he had all his HB rushes at 1 and all his QB rushes at 5. He never said how many of each play but as you said that is a MAJOR factor.

That's why I run 5-7 plays max in any given package. Easier to control.

And I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary with my teams plplaycalling fwiw.

What else does 20+ rush plays mean?

oh nm im retarded.

this is what happens when i make sense of something while doing shots at da bar.

Happened to a rookie team that I help out with

I had a set where I had 2 d plays at both 5 bars and both were blitz but it called one play 68 times and other 8 times. Seriously screwed.

you misundestood me... I was saying that non-QB plays were ran 20+ times in the game... I only have 3 or 4 total in my playbook at 1-bar priority

Ya i got that after rereading it.

Stobie - not saying this is your issue, but usually if it's defensive plays getting called wacky, you can trace it back to conflicts in tactics (inside/outside, short/medium/long, blitz/zone)... were they both the exact same, ie - inside run, blitz, short?

but offensively, it's usually a little more straightforward. Whenever a run up the middle is called, you can tell how often stuff is ran... There should never be a reason a one-bar play is called more than five-bar play during the span of a game. Something is up, and I have no clue what it is.

Nothing specific to priorities for me, but the AI dies seem streakier than usual of late. Same play 3-4 times in a row often these days.
