Punting and snapping

1 - Where do I set that I want them to punt on 4th down or is it a given in this game?

2 - How do I choose who snaps the long snap cos Coney was second choice in the Depth chart yet he made the first long snap for punt?! Although he's my main C he can't long snap to save his life - I assume that might affect the punter's time he has etc.

1. The game will automatically punt on 4th down depending on if you're in FG range or not and the game situation.

2. You can set your long snapper based on your special teams depth chart.

If you're talking the sliders, that is for when it does go for it. Or you can also use rules for how you wish to handle any game situation.

Yes - on the gameplan there's the same options to insiderurn/outside run etc. Seems odd/pointless if the game punts it auto

The game will go for it on 4th down if you are in hurry up, which is why you have the game planning tools for 4th down.

ah I see - how clever!
Hadn't really looked at that setting before. Have now just linked it to my last game (coincidentally in which we were down by 7 with 4 to go - how I had it set!). And yes it was all pass plays. We got back one FG but sadly no more :(

You can also set your team to go for it on 4th down anytime you want by setting up a rule to do so.

But you CANNOT create a rule to NOT go for it (in cases where you would rather punt or kick FG).

If the default AI thinks you should go for it, you're going for it no matter what your rules are. The only way to prevent this is to turn off the hurry up mode.

You should just turn off hurry up anyway and run it through rules.
