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.

I'll look into that. The AI shouldn't be overriding the button you click in play game mode.

Appreciate that Brooks. It certainly did override it but I made an error on clock time. It was approximately 3 minutes left and not 5.45 as I said above.

There's also another bug relating to the "play" button.
At least 2 or 3 times per game (sometimes more) after a play when you choose the next play and click "play" it replays the previous play.
Not a major bug but takes you by surprise every time it occurs.

Yea, I found the fix for the kickoff issue and it should be available in the next patch.

Yay!

You seemed so certain it did not do that, I began to doubt what I saw and started to think I'd hit the wrong button.

I was so annoyed it happened I just closed the game out without saving it. I copied the old save game onto another new save name and tried four times to see if it might repeat the error but naturally I could not duplicate a game that was that close. In my tests, though it did end up 2-2 each team winning by more than a double TD in every game.

This happens when the quarter ends after the previous play.
