Rules Not Working

By setherick

Rules do not appear to be working as expected anymore. When I set the score to up 27 in the past, the rule would work regardless of how many points I was up by. This does not appear to be the case anymore.

Rule 1 - Run when backed up inside the 10.

Down: First Down, Second Down, Third Down
Distance: Short, Medium, Long
Location: Own 0 - Own 9.5
Quarter: First Quarter, Second Quarter, Third Quarter, Fourth Quarter, Overtime
Time: 15:00 - 0:00
Score: Down 6 - Up 27
Play Type: Outside Run: 80%, Inside Run: 20%, Short Pass: 0%, Medium Pass: 0%, Long Pass: 0%
Personnel: 1RB/1TE/3WR: 75%, 2RB/1TE/2WR: 25%

And this is the exact reason that I have this rule: https://mfn19.myfootballnow.com/gamecenter/view/1836#351957

Rule 2 - Don't pass med or long with a lead in the fourth quarter.

Down: First Down, Second Down
Distance: Short, Medium, Long
Location: Own 0 - Own 25, Own 25 - 50, 50 - Opp 25, Opp 25 - Opp 0
Quarter: Fourth Quarter
Time: 15:00 - 2:30
Score: Up 1 - Up 27
Play Type: Outside Run: 85%, Inside Run: 10%, Short Pass: 5%, Medium Pass: 0%, Long Pass: 0%
Personnel: 5WR: 21%, 1TE/4WR: 21%, 1RB/4WR: 21%, 1RB/1TE/3WR: 22%, 2RB/1TE/2WR: 15%

And, yet, here are four medium or long passes in the fourth quarter on first or second down.

1) https://mfn19.myfootballnow.com/gamecenter/view/1836#351968
2) med pass: https://mfn19.myfootballnow.com/gamecenter/view/1836#351969
3) https://mfn19.myfootballnow.com/gamecenter/view/1836#352005
4) https://mfn19.myfootballnow.com/gamecenter/view/1836#352012

I'm looking to see if there are any conflicting rules that would have overridden either of these, but I don't think there is. There definitely isn't a rule that would have overridden the rule to prevent safeties when backed up.

you were up by more than 27 and the rules you have set are "down 6 to up 27" and "up 1 to up 27" so they would only work between -6 and +27 and +1 to +27

Can I go higher than 27? If so, how? The Up/Down drop down is category select, and it only goes up to 27. It really should accept a string value. Just saying.

+1

Or at least 27+

I've had trouble getting rules to work, as well. In mf16, I set up a rule to call a specific play on every first down.

Conditions:

Down: First Down
Distance: 0 - 15.3 To Go
Location: Own 0 - Opp 20
Quarter:
Time: 15:00 - 0:00
Score: Down 28 - Up 27

Note: The above is copy and pasted from the rules page, which shows the quarter setting as blank. I chose "All Game" in the dropdown and double-checked that it's still selected.

Decisions:

Play Type: Outside Run: 0%, Inside Run: 0%, Short Pass: 0%, Medium Pass: 0%, Long Pass: 100%
Personnel: 3RB/1TE/1WR: 100%

This is the only applicable play in my playbook:

Play Action Bomb
Personnel: 3RB/1TE/1WR
Play Type: Long Pass
Avg Per Call: N/A
Times Called: N/A
Team Familiarity

The result? The play wasn't called a single time: https://mfn16.myfootballnow.com/log/1978

What am I doing wrong? Do I have the time reversed?

you don't have it set to call, set quarter to first quarter, second quarter, third quarter, fourth quarter, overtime

"All game" doesn't work?

All game doesn't look like a recognized category anymore. It doesn't show up on the rule review screen at all.

It looks like that's the case - go in and change it to each quarter individually. I will release a patch tonight that fixes it but you will need to tweak any rules that currently don't show any quarters in the list.

This is getting silly.

Rule - Don't pass the ball at all in the final 2:30 when nursing a lead.

Offense
Down: First Down, Second Down, Third Down
Distance: Short, Medium, Long
Location: Own 0 - Own 25, Own 25 - 50, 50 - Opp 25, Opp 25 - Opp 0
Quarter: Fourth Quarter
Time: 2:30 - 0:00
Score: Up 1 - Up 27
Play Type: Outside Run: 60%, Inside Run: 40%, Short Pass: 0%, Medium Pass: 0%, Long Pass: 0%
Personnel: 1RB/1TE/3WR: 50%, 2RB/3WR: 50%

Three of the last four plays from my latest game:

1) https://mfn19.myfootballnow.com/gamecenter/view/1851#354550 (default game plan 20% chance)
2) https://mfn19.myfootballnow.com/gamecenter/view/1851#354551 (default game plan 25% chance)
3) https://mfn19.myfootballnow.com/gamecenter/view/1851#354552 (default game plan 30% chance)
