Add FG to Rules

As it stands right now we do not have the option to kick a FG in rules. I just lost a game in OT when we could have kicked a FG in regulation.

Can you link to the game? I'm curious to know why you didn't.

-- edit -- I meant I'm curious to know why you didn't kick the FG, not why you didn't link to the game.

What is your end of game FG range set to? It looks like it would have been about a 54-55 yard field goal, which if your end of game FG range is set to higher than that you should have attempted.

End of half - 52 Ball was on the 32
Regardless, with seconds on the clock and with nothing to lose I want my kickers to attempt a 60 yarder if needs be, this sucks big time.
Sorry for the delay in replying

gustoon you have to have that 60 yards in your GAMEPLANNING >MISC options > MAX FG Distance (End of Half) for your kicker to attempt it .

MAX FG Distance (End of Half)
The max distance you will kick a field goal at the end of a half to tie or win the game.

it should be at 60 in that option or else you wont kick it.

No, you're missing the point, that setting is for regular game play.

The problem with that setting is that I don't necessarily want to use that game-play for ending a 2nd half, which that applies to, I want the option to change that.

I would think its easy to add into rules and can't think why we can't have this option, maybe change the original setting to 'By qtrs...'

that setting is for halftime and if the game is close instead of going in overtime your team will try to win the game in regulation with a FG .

well in that case suggest you want to change it from Half to By quarters .

Exactly, this didn't happen in this instance because the setting is a generic setting for 2nd and 4th Qtr situations, TOTALLY different.
