hacked?

Anyone have a legitimate reason why my offensive play calling will change for no reason?

Typically I have 35-36 plays available.

At least 4 times this past season, once the game was over, I went in and saw only 23 plays called and either plays I never use are highlighted, or quality plays are not.

Ideas?

You may need to look at your sliders, just because you have 35+ plays selected does not mean your plays will match your sliders. Also if you're talking about just one game it could simply be an outlier and not the norm which is bound to happen sometimes with any thing based on RNG.

With a completely balanced book, the rng omits 8 percent of plays on average . For no reason at all. Under the old gameplanning system . ...pre 3.2? The numbers were a bit lower , but under 4. I have seen numerous posts where a higher number is omitted .

Either way imo it is broke. If a RNG called one play 6 times and another zero ....consistently then it is no longer random.

Your numbers will be more clear the more calls out of one set combined with a more balanced book. Dont forget to balnce the short meduim and long passes along withe outside inside runs.

The system works as intended , but clearly calls only certain plays while omitting in others. I would look at the game play adjustment level....it needs to be zero for complete balance. Even then I think it at some number(small as it may be) , which is why this anomaly happens.

And don't for get the slow down and hurry up...all these dictate play call variety

Lars, I would look at my sliders to see if I have that formation accounted for. It is highly possible that is the reason your losing plays. If your sliders don't have the formation, your coaches can't/won't call the plays.

So, if this is the case, iy would actually go through the trouble of "unhighlighting" my plays? Rather than simply ignoring them?

For instance....in this last game, I was running 50% short pass. Every formation slider had some %.

Yet, when I choose 8-10 different plays normally, after the game, I went in and only 4 short pass plays were highlighted.

I am not even talking about which plays the AI actually ran during the game.

When I'm referencing the sliders, I'm referring to the formation sliders. If you choose Short Pass plays out of the 2-2-1 Formation, but do not have that formation accounted for in your sliders, your coaches will not call those short pass plays.

There are sliders for play type (long pass, medium pass, short pass, inside run, & outside run). There are also sliders for each formation this game presents (0-0-5, 0-1-4, 1-0-4, 1-1-3, 2-3, 2-1-2, 1-2-2, 2-2-1, & 2-3-0). I think those are all of the formations.

You have the same on defense for play type and formation. I hope this helps. If you are still having issues after double-checking this, I really don't know. I really think this is an oversight, rather than a bug.
