So, I'm in a bowl game and trailing by 1 point. There's almost 5:45 mins on the clock
I've just scored a TD and at the subsequent KO I chose to do a regular kickoff.
But when I clicked play - the freaking AI changed the call and did an onside kick - which I subsequently lost WTAF?
Yes, I realize that's the percentage call.
However, I'd just scored 2 TD's in a row, stopped their offense in the 3 previous drives holding them to 23 yards in total offense on those drives.
Also, my team had not won an onside kicks in 4 previous attempts.
The opponent had 1 timeout left. I had 3 timeouts left. I had all the momentum on both sides of the ball.
I was happy to gamble on a deep kickoff and then hope to stop their drive based on my previous 3 attempts. I aimed to then drive up the field burning the clock and kick a FG at worse for the win.
Obviously I'm not actually the head coach in this game - the AI is. AI outcome - scored a TD (8) on the next play after winning the onside kick. Leaving me needing 2 scores.
It's beyond frustrating to have AI override your calls in this way. Confirming again this game is written for sim players not down by down players like me.
