Gameplay Glitces pt 2

1. On the Advanced settings tab, what run/pass modifier and base settings do you have? I've noticed that the higher the modifier and the lower the base settings you have, the more closer the game engine will follow your strategy settings.
2. Agreed. I've seen some punt returns but very few. Way too many touch backs also. Hopefully special teams as a whole will get some TLC in the next version.
3. Agree to this as well. DDPFS18 added "short" "medium" and "long" pass settings on the strategy tab, but I'm not quite sure how they are affecting the CPU play calling if at all.
4. Agree with this as well. I would add that the final play of a half should almost always be either an incomplete pass, a long pass completion for a TD (results of Hail Marys), or field goal attempts. If the team who has the lead has the ball then it should be a series of -2 or -3 QB runs (he's kneeling to run out the clock in Victory formation).
5. I've seen negative running plays but I'm not sure if the game records the stats as negative yards or just 0.
6. I thought this was fixed in a patch.

Thank you for your thoughtful answers.

Which patch are you refering to that keeps strategy from resetting after every game. Perhaps I haven't downloaded the proper patch because this keeps happening. Also, Advanced Settings, lowered Base to 30 and raised the modifier to 42, essentially swapping their values.

If the team is on CPU control strategies Will be often reset

This is exceedingly tedious, as I want to maintain the gameplans and playbooks for each team. Having to reset them each time is maddening. Is there a way we could put in a workaround? Why not let me control all the teams in the league?

[AKH]

in sandbox and online modes, you can control as many teams as you want.

[regenerator]

Why not let us in Career mode? My main interest in playing the game is creating a league from scratch, controlling all the details of each team, and then see how it plays out. There's still plenty of drama and uncertainty in a situation like this, and the Career mode is vastly more interesting for obvious reasons

[AKH]

But that is what sandbox is for. You Can for everything there that you Can Do in career except you are NOT locked to one team.

[regenerator]

Really? Players retire, League records are kept, etc?

[brooks_piggott]

Yea, the main differences between career and sandbox is that career is meant to be a challenge so many aspects of the game are locked to a single team. In sandbox everything is completely open. The only issue we still run into occasionally is that because sandbox is completely open some of the screens don't recognize you as logged in.

Basically if you want to "Run" multiple teams you probably need to set it up as multiplayer mode and set users and passwords for each team so it knows exactly who you're trying to operate as (team owner or commish, etc)
