If I have a roll for zone come up and there is no zone in that formation (say 3 WR, for example), would the sim try to match the next best thing or go into a random play out of that formation? Or would it look into another formation to find a zone play?

The tactics work Left to Right.

First it determines what type of Play you want called:

Pass Short, Pass Med, Pass Long, Run Inside, Run Outside

Then it checks for a Zone D.

Then it checks for a Blitz.

If there's no Zone in that playbook but a Zone was rolled, then it will use a Pass/Run category that was rolled prior.

What if it comes up Long, Zone, and Blitz... but there are no Long or Zones in that book section, only Blitz?

It will pick the blitz. If you have 2 blitzes, it will use the blue dots.

Thanks guys.

I can't seem to understand why the fallowing keeps happening. I have only 2 plays for double TE setup, both are Zone Run/Pass Blitz. Under tactics I have 100% blitz, for example short run inside. Instead of calling either one of my plays, it goes into a 5-2 Base Defense trying to defend inside run (which is not in the playbook). How can I get it to run my defense just based on offense's formation?

Are you sure you have the right playbook loaded? You have to change the Default.

Right play book loaded indeed

SO I saw Stobie posted that he leaves all the categories set to 0, except zone and blitzing which are at 50%.

If all categories are set to 0, will it just pick a random play based off how many WR's in the offensive formation then?

I could tell you, but if you pay for Stobie's tool, you'll see for yourself what he means, by scouting one of his defenses (That's 12.5%, Stobie!)

You've also got it slightly wrong in that what he said in the thread you're referring to was that he goes 100% Short, 50 Zone and 50 Blitz so it's not a question of picking a random play, it's a question of limiting the playbook in a very focused way.

I was just wondering if you left all categories at 0, except for blitzing and zone at 50, will it just call plays out of your playbook based on WR's sets? If so, I think I'm ok with that.

It's not that hard to optimize things better than this.

Just been a few offenses that I'd rather have my defense set to base 0 and just call blitz or zone against would have helped if it works. Not an every game thing, mind you, but it'd be nice to have another option. So does it work?

Also, say you have short and medium set up for a formation... if you put only 50% short, would you have to put 50% medium in the tactic to get them called or would the sim call the medium by default if it failed the short roll?

If the sim can't find the play "rolled", then you get a random play called I presume based on the blue buttons.

And you have to put in 50 for Medium. If you just have the 50 Short in there, it will recalculate the % around that 50 (Short) rather then add 50 to Medium.
