Seen a few issues today with the playbook not running the plays ive got set.

This was mainly in the 4th quarter...

For instance

7:56 3 and 11 to go on own 31, Philip Buffington (OC) snaps the ball to Eric Cannon (QB), who hands off to Alán Bárányos (FB/C), he starts running over the left guard, Alán Bárányos (FB/C) tackled by Emanuele Munerol (MLB), forward progress: 10 yards (Flexbone vs. 3-3-5) more

and

5:38 3 and 9 to go on own 21, Philip Buffington (OC) snaps the ball to Eric Cannon (QB), Eric Cannon (QB) selected Zackary Greenlee (WR/L) as target, the receiver of this outer left pass catches the ball, Zackary Greenlee (WR/L) tackled by Jacob Krause (CB/R), forward progress: 5 yards (Shotgun 2 WR vs. Dime 4DL MLB 4CB 2SF) more

When i did the checker neither of these plays should have been run,

any ideas?

Watch your Coache's Karma.

I had my kicker returning kickoffs once and somehow he took one to the house!!

I've seen that low coaches karma correlates with sporadic and incorrect playbook decisions.

I think its how many plays in the playbook you have and use throughout the games, i'm not too sure.

I would put those exact situations into your playbook using the checker, and if you can confirm it's a mistake from the engine put it into the bug report.

I will add that QB's do sometimes improv run.

I believe it has to do with playbook realism.

Some people write their playbooks to "win at all costs" so to speak and run unrealistic plays.

Lets say you throw the ball out of the wishbone 9/10 times because its a heavy run formation. The coach is doing that to exploit the expected defense being for a run play. I've seen this happen more regarding passing much more than run plays.

The karma urges coaches to make a realistic and diverse playbook instead of seeking to exploit loopholes.

Do you have any play for these situations in the playbook or does it say „no rule found“?

Because if it’s the latter the initial settings for the game come into play. And since there is always set something, even if it’s „random“, this playcall gets activated.

Yeah; what I'm saying is that the engine will sometimes not use the correct play or player as a result of coaches karma.

But even apart from karma I still see issues like how I mentioned my kicker playing KR.
