Can we pls get an Update

Postby regenerator » Sun Dec 22, 2019 5:38 pm

Could we please get some kind of update soon?
Even just a kind of "clean up" update where many of the small errors and things that shouldnt take too much time to correct would be great.
The biggest problems I continue to see-
1) WAAAY too few punts inside the 20 - any time you punt anywhere between your 40 to your opponents 40 yard line will be a touchback almost every time, so much so that it makes sense to either go for it every time or continually attempt really long FGs
2) Seems almost impossible to give a RB over 20 carries unless game goes to overtime - backup gets subbed in.
3) Related - I REALLY dont like how backups will be subbed in and you as a coach have no control of this! A crucial play in a tight game and suddenly my backup rb is running the ball and I lose the game no this should never happen!
4) play analysis is very inaccurate
5) players are caught from behind too often - i think this is why they are so few 20+/40+ yard runs

Couple of other biggest bugaboos that, if fixed, would drastically improve this game -

6) QB completion percentage is so low! Is anyone else getting this? I have all different levels of QB skill and game plan, yet even my highly accurate QB running a short passing attack can't even maintain 64%, much less what i would expect 67-70%!! Across my league completion percentages are an accurate dispersal...of the NFL in the 1980s. Completion percentages are an even distribution of 53%-63%. I know I mentioned this is another post, but I cannot seem to correct this. Is this just my league? Are perhaps my secondaries too good??

7) Please add in ability to call kneel downs at the end of games!

8) STILL THE #1 ISSUE - Computer play-calling is not good - i must mention again how much it calls runs on 3rd and long, shotgun long passes on 2nd and 1, the computer just has no sense of correct play-calling. No dime coverage needs to be called on 2nd and 1 when the offense is lined up in Two TE Jumbo! I have heard the arguments about how this is supposedly what ppl want, and this can be controlled in the game...i'm sorry i dont buy it. I have played this game enough now, and I have played many other simulation football games where this was not a prolem. This is not something you have to pay close attention to in order notice it; sticks out like a sore thumb!! The playcalling needs to be improved across the board. Perhaps what you say is true Brooks that we can reel it in through enough adjustment but im sorry i have done a LOT of adjusting and I still cant get it even close enough to allow the computer to call plays. You know what i have settled in doing? I now dont trust the computer to such an extent that i have to call al the plays in every game. Because EVERY SINGLE GAME i go back and look at the play by play where i allow the ccomputer to call plays i see DRASTIC game-altering mistakes every game! 4th and 1 from the opponent 35 down by 14 and they punt...down 20 its 3rd and 15 and they run a dive...i literally have to control every team every game. This is fine now in my small 10 team league but i do want to expand and i do want to start messing with NFL-size leagues and such...please take another look at this from a fresh perspective i beg you...

I havent even got to dive into this game yet but plan to very soon. After reading this post though I gotta
strongly agree some of this stuff that has been said really needs to be addressed.... Will there
be anymore updates or are updates all finished for this version????

We're in the middle of DDSCF beta... after that we'll put the latest PF update through testing and release it.
