How does the simulation choose which play if there are multiple plays for the same situation

Based on the entry on your PB. It reads from the first line to the end. The first order fitting the situation will be executed. All the other lines after it will be neglected.

What about the opposite? If there is no entry in my PB, that matches the particular situation?
For example if I set the rules only for the 1st quarter - what will the engine do in the remaining 3? Pick the settings by random? Pick them from the Basic playbook? Or is the interface smart enough not to allow saving the playbook until all possible match situations are covered in that playbook? |

And another question, probably more important than the former one.
Basic mode allows using the option: random. Does playbook allow that, too? Edit: Or does my question indicate that I haven't grasped what the playbook does, and what it doesn't do, yet? Because my understanding is that everything I do to set up the game right now (prior to clicking that no-return Playbook button) by clicking "set" in the Game link - once I am "in a playbook mode" I can only do by editing this or that playbook. Am I by chance wrong, and Playbook does not override regular way of setting completely. It only overrides certain parts of it? Like, for example, it might override completely what defensive formation is used against a given offensive one, BUT - it doesn't affect my ability to specify "random" regarding, say, attack direction in the 1st down. As long as I have no my own rule for that in the playbook I picked to be used. Is that how it works? Last edited on 2022-08-09 22:11:10 by jpnwrt |

If no pb is set or no play inside the playbook is found for the current game situation, the game settings are taken. In your example that means, in 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarter the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th down orders in the settings are used. |

As long as I have no my own rule for that in the playbook I picked to be used. Is that how it works? Regarding the random part, there are several wildcard-entries in the playbook line setup, like 'any' and 'all directions', only 'formations' and 'pass/rush' doesn't have that kind of wildcard on offense and on defense the fields 'use pass formation', 'use rush formation', 'prefer', 'blitz LB %', 'blitz SF %' have always values. I thought I did describe playbook in my guide, but maybe not sufficient to get the concept. On every play the engine does check 1st whether there is a line in the playbook. You can check such a play with the checker on the playbook setup page. If a line is highlighted the engine did use that play (except a 2% overwrite rule, simulating something happend on the field and the qb did change the play). If no play is found, the engine selects a play based on game settings. How does this work? Example: 1st and goal on the 5th yrd line in 1st quarter. Your playbook has 2 lines which might fit. One with 1st quarter 1st down and any distance, calling a run 'all directions' 2nd with 1st half 1st down and less than 10 yards, calling a pass to the right. Now the sorting comes into play. Since 2 plays are valid, the highest sorted is selected. If the 1st example line is sorted highest, your team will run and the engine does s e l e c t randomly the direction, say left. If the 2nd is sorted highest, your team will pass to the right. Now you did not make the TD and have 2nd and goal on the 4th. There is NO play in the playbook, matching that situation. Then the game settings are taken. For 2nd down you have set 'pass and rush', 'all directions', 'random' and 'random'. Now the engine does basically through the dice for each line and create a play. pass and rush means roughly 50% chance for each, say the dice gives pass. all directions means all 6 areas are in the mix, not sure they are equally available, bit likely, so 1/6th change for each. Say the dice selects only left flank. random on rush and pass formations means all 10 are in the mix each, 1/10 for each, say dice s e l e c t Big I for rush and I-Formation for pass. Maybe he only s e l e c t the formation for the one already selected, here then pass. Means at the end the engine plays pass to the left from I-Formation. Same is for defense. Game settings do offer a basic set of rules, playbook rules do overrule those always, if for that situation a line can be found. In the game summery there are lines to see, how those playbook lines were used. Playbook coverage Offense 1 of 68 / 0.01 Playbook coverage Defense 79 of 79 / 1.00 |
