well thats what I was saying... I want more focus on the "inner balance of the engine" instead of just adding stuff like the "no PB penalty" to deal with its flaws...

OK, so to clarify - there is NO penalty at all for this approach? It's ok to leave some gaps with a view to random plays being for those gaps?

If so, that's not quite how the announcement reads - it gives the impression that any use of the random settings leads to a small penalty of some form.

Any use of ONLY random settings...

Definition: no PB = inner balance

and what happens if the playbook covers only stuff like for example 3rd-and-long or situations at the end of halves or when falling behind in the second half; when to kick/punt/go for it etc?

It is a question of having a playbook at all covering not only FG/punt situations, and the balance inside the playbook for non punt/non FG plays...

So if you have only 3rd down rules as example, you are still OK...if you would have only 3rd down rules saying sg4wr left rush, your would be in trouble...clear enough?

You guys put in more than there is

What if 2nd and 4-6 is set to random for the whole game?

Sorry to be picky, but the wording needs to be totally clarified.

I think we are talking at crossed purposes a little - I fully understand the implication of using 1 play from 1 formation for a specific down all game, but my question is specifically about the stated penalty in the announcement for people who use the random match settings.

If some has this offensive playbook:

Punt Situations
Field Goal situations
4th and 1 - go for it if losing
1st and Goal situations, various depending on score/quarter etc
Nothing else - therefore random plays from match settings get used for all other circumstances

Are there ANY penalties at all for that style of playbook? Please, just a simple yes or no.

Not possible, depends on relations inside the playbook...

Next question: how are these relations set? No answer, sorry
