Question - If you select a random run as your output for a rushing play, does it then default to your basic settings for inside/outside rushing%?

Basic run settings, IIRC.

In Goalline double tight offense how do get it to throw instead of run all the time?

You don't, it's always a run. Yes, it would be nice if we could pass. Maybe some day.

Is there any way to control what formations you use? I know choosing more long passes uses more 3 receiver sets, and I also heard using more short passes uses more 2 TE formation.

Is there any way to control other formations?

Not really. I'm hopeful the OAI will be as in-depth as the DAI next season. I'm really looking forward to being able to dictate the specifics of what I want to do on offense. Well, from a personnel package standpoint anyway.

Using goal line will use a 3 TE formation and if you use punt the punter will come in. It's really fascinating!

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

Serious answer, other than what you already mentioned I haven't seen anything that is identifiable and I've probably tested every possible type of setting there is on the offensive AI.

I couldn't find this anywhere, but I have to imagine it's in one of the guides and I just missed it:

If I set my output percentages to less than 100%, will it just pull from my basic options for the remainder? E.g., if I set "3rd and short" to 50% "Run inside," and don't specify any other outputs, will the AI run inside 100% of the time, or run inside 50% of the time and then follow basic settings for the other 50%?

I don't know for sure, but it says on the offensive AI page that outputs that don't add up to 100% will be automatically adjusted at gametime. So I think if you just have one output at 50%, it will adjust it to 100% at gametime.

Thanks. I actually wanted to default it to my regular settings when it didn't match my specific point, but I ended up just putting a 50% "Default" play that just had "use basic settings" for every field.

Have a few questions:

Can you run out of a spread (3/4-wide) formation?

Can you pass out of goalline?

Can you have 3 rushers on the field at once (2HB/1FB or vice versa)?

What good is distance on running plays?


Does distance control how many WRs are in the formation?

so run/long wouldnt be running out of a 3-wide?

Good question. It would seem that he is saying it has no effect on the play call, but it does on the WR's on the field.

I don't know, but I would sure like to know.
