We aren't built for the 3-4 but if this keeps up teams will be more desperate for players to make sure they don't have tired starters and also have disgruntled players getting minimal PT and thus EXP.

Check your inputs/outputs for anomalies - I haven't heard of that happening.

Double and triple checked, we've got every down covered so we don't fall onto general gameplanning and we never touched 3-4 in our outputs. Why do the anomalies happen to me? o_O

Which team?

From the first example I think to just leave the FG distance blank, unless you want to leave a 10 yard chunk blank and go with 39 or something. but is FG distance the the actual distance (yard line + 10endzone + 7 spot of ball) or is it the opponents yard line?

Actual distance (subtract 17 yards for the yard line)

Himalayan Raging Yetis. We almost cut out all 3-3-5 situations barring 3rd and 15+ but our DTs got weird PT numbers by comparison.

Quick question: If you have an input set to a 3-3-5 for a certain formation but there is no MLB on the depth chart will one of the ILB's take the spot or will it not function?

MLB will get replaced by somebody from one of the ILB spots.

Is it a random ILB or is it always the RILB or LILB?

Bort, how long in advance of the scheduled time of the up coming game should your tactics be set. I noticed last game, I made changes roughly an hour before but they didn't kick in. It was a first down play so very easy to identify. It worked this game though.

Quick question, what LBs are being used for 4-2-5 and 3-3-5? its' hard to set my defensive DC around it.

Also, how badly will defense hurt for PT since 3 and 4 man fronts can kill DT PT and overwork LBs or vice versa. I have a lot of disgruntled players asking it. By this, I mean with computer 'de-railing' gameplans after a few drives. usually by 4th quarter nothing is the way you want it.

4-2-5: LOLB, MLB
3-3-5, LOLB, MLB, ROLB

I'm not sure I understand the second part of the question...PT is based on the plays you called. Computer only changes gameplan if you don't use the AI and have autoadjust.

I'm a little confused here. Is this a change from previous seasons where the LOLB had been pulled out on passing downs?

Or is this something new and distinct?

Anyone know?

quick question, if i have one input set at 3rd down and another one right below that set at 3rd down 5-0 yards to go to first.

if its 3rd and 3, which one will it go to? The more specific one, or the one on top? (since it reads top to bottom)

The first one it gets to that meets the condition although it will consider quarter specific items before it considers general items.

In your case, if they are both in the general/all quarters section, it will be the one on top...unless there are some other qualifying criteria such as score or field location, etc.

You'd want your more selective 3rd down play first. Probably your 3rd down 5-0 yards to go on top, then the general 3rd down second. If the general 3rd comes first and the criteria match, it will use it and never see the more selective one later. Always use most selective on top to to least selective on bottom

I believe this is a change. It seems the ROLB always leaves in 2 LB sets, as opposed to last season when it was the LOLB that left.

thanks for the answers, makes sense

Asked this a couple times, but think it got buried in the huge mega announcement threads. (side note: can we get forums for the discussion of the offense and defense AI?)

How does the 'Ball spot' setting interact with the 'Special circumstance' setting?

Here's the default: http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll4/scarletmbb/OffensiveDefault1.jpg

OK, so for the FG input, the ball spot setting says between their 30 and their goal, and special circumstance is within FG range. Do both of those conditions have to be met to kick a FG? If they do, then it seems there would never be any FG attempts over 47 yards (since the ball spot has to be the 30 or less).

I think this is why my team punted twice inside my given field goal range of 55 yards. We had the ball on the 34 and punted, and once on the 37 and punted. I have now changed the ball spot to between the opponents 40 and their goal. I assume this is the reason, but it seems a little redundant if your stated field goal range is already set. You are either in field goal range, or out of field goal range. Why should you have to specify where the ball spot is ?
