In my match against Motol Ducks, the engine seemed to screw up my PB instructions. I don't think it would have changed the outcome, but here it is anyway:

I have orders when leading with less than 1:45 in the fourth quarter to go I-form run. In this game, when I was trailing with less than 1:45 in the fourth quarter, my reverted to I-form run, when they should have been passing.

Similarly, in my scrimmage, the team that was winning was still throwing the ball when they should have been going with I-form run.

please use the playbook checker tool first. What is the outcome of this certain situation there?

Performed the PB check, and it came up that my team should have passed the ball and not do I-form Run like it did in the real game scenario described

Please give me the correct playbyplay, I will try to double-check. However, engine and playbook checker are using the exact same function to determine what to do. Any chance you were using the wrong playbook in your match settings, or changed the playbook?

It seems to have been a problem on just that day. In my scrimmages since, the rules have been followed. Not sure why Saturday was an exception...I had made some major changes earlier that day, but never messed with the first lines of code, which deal with my "victory" formation and haven't made any changes since. But today's scrimmages went according to script. Hopefully that will continue.

Hm...there is a small chance the QB will not follow your playbook at all. This happens very rare, but maybe this was the case here? I have no single reason to doubt the playbook mechanism. We run too many games per day without any fault to oversee something major.
