9 is pretty high, I wouldn't set it that high. "Hurry up" basically means you're doing all passing and always going for it on 4th down unless you are deep in your own territory. So if you're down at all with 9 minutes to go, you'd be going for it on 4th down ... if you're down by 8 or more you'll go for it for the entire 4th quarter.

ok, I misunderstood the logic on that then because it does say if 7 points or more on the setting

I was only down by 5 point at that time, I ended up going down by 8 after I failed on 4th down on my 14 and got sacked. I just didnt expect it to kick in being down only by 5

maybe I need to change the description - it's minutes per score down, one score is up to 7 points.
