OK.... so why isn't the HC calling different plays, in nearly all the leagues where I get this message I'm either close or using a full PB.
Please don't say I need to use Rules!
Yeah, I haven't said much about 0.41 because I was hoping it would be a LOT better than 0.4.0.. but its NOT.
In fact, if you didn't like the sim having more control of your team than you did in 0.4.0. It's even worse in 0.4.1.
Ever get this one? "The offense has gone to that play a few too many times." The play was this...Goal Line Normal HB Outside Strong. It was called 13 times and avg 1.8 yds .??? So what? I didn't call it 13 times the sim did.
I checked 34 plays and it kept picking this dud over and over.
And in the meantime 6 of the 34 I checked weren't even used once and 13 were used only once...
I had the plays checked... the sim didn't use them.
If the sim changes anything to do with my game plan, it should use plays that are successful. more.. and plays that don't work, less. That's what a REAL coach would do. That's what I would do. That's what you would do.
I hate that it will appear like I am ragging on the game and I don't want it to, because I love the game...but I think JDB released 0.4.1 too soon under pressure from some disgruntled users and it wasn't ready for prime time.
He's been playing whack a mole with hot fixes ever since its release and it's not getting better in my opinion.
Watch a few replays from games in 0.4.1... you'll see some bizarre goings on... people running around with their hair on fire... RB's running backwards.. DE's running halfway to the sidelines before deciding they need to be getting after the QB... Ball carriers running towards the defenders instead away from them...LB's blowing right past the QB like they're blind.. Oline blocking is supposed to be much better and I myself don't see much if any difference.
And other stuff too, just more than I can think of right now.
I'm not gonna quit playing the game, but I think I am gonna cut down to just a few teams until we can get a stable sim working... it takes me entirely too much time to gameplan for all my teams only to watch something totally different than what I had expected and planned to see.
I'm not a 3 box checker when I'm game planning...most of the time I use full 40/30 play books and never less than 30/20.
If the sim insists on monitoring my plays and game plan it should move to better plays that are checked in the playbook instead of a goofy *** message..."The offense has gone to that play a few too many times."
