In my game today I didn't try any punts on 4th down despite my tactics saying Try Fieldgoal instead punting on 4th down when distance <35 and Go for 4th down when yards to go Never.

Do I need to set something in the playbook to make sure my team punts instead of always going for it on 4th down?

Yes, just set to punt on the 4th down, and the distance you want your punter to kick the ball.
Usually I set the distance just outside the range covered by my Kicker with FG, so if it's too long to try to go for a FG, I'll punt the ball.

Why does it need to be taken off 'never' if I never want to go for it on 4th down?

In my game today it's doing the same thing again where I'm not punting the ball. I even removed all punts from the playbook so surely just having the game settings set to

Try Fieldgoal instead punting on 4th down when distance <35

and

Go for 4th down when yards to go Never

should work ok?

Thank you, I still don't see where I am going wrong unfortunately!

Check 1: match settings are enabled?

Check 2: what are the 4th down / punting settings?

Check 3: ANY rules in your playbook affecting 4th downs?

1. Match settings were set over 1 hour before the game

2. Try Fieldgoal instead punting on 4th down when distance <35
Go for 4th down when yards to go = Never

3. I only have a small number of plays in my playbook and none are set to do anything on 4th down.

Thanks for checking
