Warrior General Games

Question.

I set tactics to 100% run and set "no, stick with my settings".

I know it was a CPU vs the #1 team in the league, but it resulted in 105 pass attempts lol.

Is this broken? Or am I missing something?

probably an AI active that you are missing

There is also an option for score based play calling. What were your settings there. Despite the "stick with my plan" if you fall behind, it is going to start passing. Also, what was your 3rd down distance setting? I see you had 6 passes in the 1st quarter (and 1 sacked), and all of them were on 3rd and long. Even if you are set for 100% run, but you tell your gameplan that 4 yards is the cutoff for "short", it will attempt a pass on anything more than 4 yards. This overrides your other settings

He owns "the home" so I am willing to bet it's score based playcalling

Yup what sunder B said:

All of 1Q: run, run, pass for every 1st/2nd/3rdD. All 3rdD would have been considered long, unless you drastically bumped up the default "4.0 yards" setting.
Early 2Q: Same as above.
All of 3Q: Same as above.

2Q from ~11min on: 100% pass.
All of 4Q: 100% pass.

I would check the "Allow Score Based Play Calling When Trailing" part, and see if 2Q + 4Q were checked on, and turn them off if so.

willing to bet it's both. 1st quarter it is definitely 3rd down distance setting.

^ This. Score based caused 11min+ 2Q and 4Q passing on 1st/2ndD, and 3rdD throughout the game was passing bc of 3rdD distance.

Yeah I know the team was all CPU but I was just testing something. I'll check out what everyone said. I appreciate the feedback.

There's a selection in the AI you have to turn off or the AI will change what you are doing.

I ran a team in casual a few seasons back, and i had this issue sometimes. I only had rushing QB's so we were all run every game. And to be clear i had,
- automatically adjust in-game - set to 'No'
- deviate from strategy 0 even though the setting above should make this a non-factor
- run % set to 100
- score based playing - all boxes unchecked
- passing down long distance - set to 99

Yet some games (not all) i would still get pass plays. If i recall, the issue mostly showed up on 3rd and longs as if the long distance setting was not registering properly

Working as intended

Understand I'm not a Casual coach but I seem to remember that you can still create/edit what plays are in the playbook even in casual (can't use packages though) so couldn't you just edit out any passing plays or does it just select a 'formation' (example; so either you can only select 'I-Form' or can you select 'I-Form play types' such as HB runs or FB runs... ect, ect.)?
