You probably need to write a rule. They're not the most user-friendly part of the game so I'll dig out a guide for you and link it into the League help forum.

That's the problem. For me a rule must be to dictate the AI to do something which is not obvious.
It's a problem for me that the engine do not pass deep in those easy situations !

In that case, in my opinion, this must be a long/medium pass every time. If I want anything else I make a rule.

nods and then the problem becomes JDB and the Gang nerfed long passes after v4.2, therefore, you can't hit turnstile touchdowns on PA and WR Streaks. This was way before you Admiral but the game was Wild West with each GM flinging it and the goal was to make it so the other QB tired and fired blanks by the end of the game. You win a war of attrition.

But, yes, it should be passing there. For me? I'd peep my highest gaining passes and Lightning Force the opponent with them as if I was Emperor Palpatine.

I understand the frustration and some coaches (AI) are better than others. His coaching style may have something to do with the call too?.

Some of the AI timeout calls or lack of them are head scratching too. I think it's partially designed that way to get people to explore the rule setting part of the game.

I have 4 or 5 offensive rules and one for defense. It's worth spending the time as it may add an extra win or two to the column each season.

Yes maybe it's coach AI or something else (it must be something :) ) but it's so obvious that I should not happen.
But I know it's a game and that some of you try there best to make it so good. The last upgrades with QB moving are just great ones !
Just, as you wrote, very frustrating situation.

And I still believe the rules should not be necessary in that case. I'm using rules too (trying too to be honest) and I think it's a very good thing in the game.

I need to be cool with you Adminral becore we play each other next game :)

What your hurry up set at?

A value of 3 will start hurry up at 3 minutes if down by 1 through 7 points.... you were down by eight? I think the AI would pass more there with at least a 3 ...... I like mine at 8 to make sure stuff like this doesn’t happen. I use no rules and never have problems like that.

Maybe the coach just gave up;)

After 3 games i still have 0 clue what this team is capable of.

gregs Triangles made my inmates look like they have never played a down of football before in their life. Just for them to bounce back and dominate the Dragons of Kowloon like there is no tomorow. 62 points and the 6 we gave up came from the biggest fumble return i'v ever seen on mfn. 75 yards to be exact and the sack before looked meh.

https://victory.myfootballnow.com/watch/428#78958

Ball gets snapped, my RT and RG turn around, the RT turns the right way again to block but my RG glitches to the left of my center leaving the blitz wide open and eventually helping my LT to block. My QB had the drag wide open aswell but just waits for the sack.

Besides this play Alcatraz looked impressive, doing most of what i want them to do. 530 - 14 Total Net Yards is borderline insane. Kowloon had -1 net passing yards.
looked like a perfect storm and probabley not a realistic reflection of team strength.

Updates for Power rankings, Stat leaders, rankings for QB, Rushing, Receiving, Blocking, Secondary, Kickers and Punters.

I'll be looking at doing something for DL and LB next weekend (probably/possibly) and will look at updating the individual stats on a weekly basis (every 3 gameweeks)

As always feedback (and potential improvements) would be greatly appreciated

GG Admiral. Hats off
Awfull Offensive game for my team. But excellent def and off playcalling/execution for you.

I hope that I'll find an offensive rythm soon.

You didn't do much wrong in fairness, my team just had one of those days where it all clicked.
