Warrior General Games

My pass outputs are all set to "use basic settings" for the HB/FB pulldown assignments. In basic settings, both were set to 100% pass block, 0% run route.

Yet in the game, well over half the time they were running routes.

Certainly they aren't the intended target (thus overrides pass block assignment) that many plays... as they were never thrown the ball, and I have it set up to throw to HB 10% and FB 0% anyway.

Why must AI be so difficult / what am I doing wrong?

Just because a HB medium pass is called doesn't mean the ball will go to the HB.

The override means:
If a HB/FB short/medium/long pass is called the HB must run the route.

But my basic settings said 0% run route, yet they ran routes over half the time.

If the play called has them as the primary receiver, then they will run the route, no matter what.

Say you set it to Pass long, use basic settings for primary. It will pick a random long pass play from all available. It doesn't matter what you set the stay in and block setting is. If it picks a HB pass play, the HB will run his route.

I've also found I set some of mine to stay in and block on WR passes. Then latter went back and double checked to find they had changed back to the default.

I'll agree (based on my other post in this forum) there's something buggy with the run route/don't run route logic. I always want my guys going out, but many plays designed to have them run routes, they stayed back and blocked.
