Warrior General Games

It never once called the right defense against a rushing QB.

I had plays for I formation vs rushing QB and I formation vs passing QB

it only did the passing QB, It never called the defensive plays I wanted against the rusher. I don't know if I'm missing something, but I would think that tagging a "rushing" QB would set up the defense against the QB that has never attempted a pass. They were playing their passing QB as TE during those plays, I don't know if that is a glitch or what. But that pisses me off that I spent a couple of hours making plays to stop this team and it never worked.

here is the play it called vs Strong I and their rushing QB is in

In my DAI, I had "Strong I vs QB run" this is the play I wanted and thought would be called vs a rushing QB. Why did I think it would be called against the rushing QB:? because I had it tagged for "rushing" QB and the rest of the defense vs strong formation I had it set for "passer"

Why doesn't it work? why did I spend a couple of hours yesterday doing this for absolutely nothing?

You did scout your opponent and tag their players appropriately?

I'm having the same issue with my AA team. My peewee team and the three teams I DC have had no problem. It's just that one team that the sim is not following my tagging. I am not one to scream bug, but I think there is something buggy with one of my teams.

Makes no sense that all 5 teams have the DAI inputs set up the same and I double and triple check to make sure the right player is tagged and the inputs/outputs are correct but only 4/5 follow the tag I have set up.

I know it sounds like a stupid question, so don't get pissy if you did, but:



Did you go to the scouting page and tag the QB as rushing?

I checked twice to make sure the QB was tagged (right after I tagged him and several hours before the game simmed). I also checked after the game when I noticed our inputs weren't used and he was still tagged.

I haven't had any problems with this. Just make sure that your "tag" input is further up in the ai than your standard inputs otherwise the ai will select the standard inputs 100%

I know, I have it set up exactly the same for all 5 teams and I've only had problems with one. There is definitely something wonky going on.

Once again, all 5 teams have the tagging inputs/outputs set up identically and I checked several times to make sure the players were tagged and it worked perfectly for 4 of the teams. Tagging worked for the team it hasn't been working for today. There was obviously something buggy with tagging for that team the first two times I tried to use it.

Here's what I did for ALL 5 teams:

Step one: Create inputs/outputs for tagged players (making sure the right player was tagged in the input).

Step two: Double checked my inputs/outputs to make sure proper player was tagged in input, the right formation was chosen, ect... and that the output wasn't empty.

Step three: Made sure inputs were on ahead of the other inputs for the same formation in my DAI.

Step three: Scouted opponent and tagged player(s).

Step four: Checked the inputs/outputs once again to make sure the proper player was tagged in the input, right formation, ect... and made sure the output wasn't empty.

Step five: Day of game made sure right player(s) were tagged and input/outputs were correct and in proper order.

Step six: Watched as only 4 out of the 5 teams followed my tagging set-up.

Keep in mind that tagging didn't work, I did an exhaustive examination of the situation, found nothing wrong, and made no changes. Today that team played and it followed my tagging to the letter.

In other words...tagging didn't work and then all of the sudden did today with -0- changes to my DAI or the way I tag. Keep in mind that the scouting feature has been screwed up (glaring inaccuracies have been posted in the Bugs forum) which leads me to believe that had something to do with it.

somehow i'm not seeing where to 'tag' in the scouting screen. i'm probably blind, but can someone specifically say where it is?

It is next to the player's name. I'm not sure how co-owner works but you have to have scouting abilities in order to tag players.

its been working for me! here are some tips and places to check where you may be going wrong.

im responding to all so sorry if some is repetitive.

1. Scout has to have GM level scout privileges. then go to scout team and select the team you are scouting for then tag the QB as a rusher or whatever.

2. under AI you have to have select tagged QB as rusher or whatever you tagged him as and then MOST OF ALL, have the rushing QB AI above the regular AI. in your case make sure"Strong I rushing QB" is above "Strong I"

Id check the TEST defensive AI and click on "Test and show unmatched" that way you can see if some other play is firing first.

I think that should do it.
hope that helps.
