Going for 2 points happens. Going for it on 4th down happens. One coach, Les Miles (while at LSU) did both quite a bit and was called "The Mad Hatter" for it (and the way his hat didn't fit his head). He was asked in an interview once why he made these decisions and he cited a few statistics that these plays were successful more often than not and it was beneficial to the team overall for multiple reasons. The fans LOVED him for this. Plus, he won.
Here, we can make these decisions without worry of getting fired over unsuccessful attempts as real coaches would.
Idk what the success rate is on this site, but from the small sample-size I've seen, going for 2 is worth the risk. If you think it's more fun, do it.
Also, these videos of Les Miles's replacement, Ed Ogeron, are funny imo. Enjoy them.
Is that better?
