Warrior General Games

I dont think I learned much. we still refuse to kick FGs when in obvious FG range. anyone really get much from it? did it even work?

I learned that my kick returned has a tendency to stop in the middle of the field with no one around him for no apparent reason.

We went for it on 4th down every time, no matter where we were on the field. Something has got to be wrong with some aspects of the AI.

Yeah we went for it on 4th and 9 on our own 4 yard line. Bad move

I think you can set what it does on 4th down in the new AI. You may have already, but if you haven't make sure it's not set to that.

Our kick returner didn't come to a complete stop, but on his two kickoff returns, it looks like he randomly decided, with no on around, to see how far he could make it if he dropped to his knees and started crawling. The opposing team had the same issue on all but one of their kickoff returns too.

I asked what the settings were on regarding that. So we'll see what we had going on there.

ok so apparently the 4th down thing is a problem for everyone.

I'm glad that the penalties didn't play a role in deciding anything.

Did anyone have issues with energy settings? Positions where we had problems trying to get certain players more plays last season inexplicably just shot up *cough LOLB cough*.

Also, does anyone feel they have a good grasp of how the WR 1-5 and CB 1-5 slots work? Seemed a tad unusual today, no?

No, our game, we were punting normally on 4th downs.

I did see penalties, but it was mostly by players who were over matched.

More dropped passes, missed tackles, FG issues, energy issues and Kick Return problems. I hear R.E.M. playing in the background "It's the end of the sim as we know it and I feel fine."

Some of the 4th down problems may be from checking the "only follow these settings" box, you know.

Zone defense still sucks.

Judging from the mess in the Bug forum, its gonna be a long day for the admins......there are teams that have not been able to rotate starters, teams that have systematically gone for it on 4th (Stallions amongst those - edit: our DC just produced a piece of evidence showing that it was actually our fault in programming haha), team that have had 4 TDs on punt return against, QBs scrambling for 40+ yds Tds breaking 10+ tackles...
