Warrior General Games

You can say fix the build, needs more vision, fix your tactics, rationalize it all you want but the truth is that a defensive player should never run out of bounds to keep a halo, b/c doesn't see the ball and thinks it's halftime, b/c had to poop, or whatever. My dang 7th graders don't even randomly run off the field during a play and boy they are special and is really saying something.

This game is so messed up until pro and even that's debatable.

Thread was quickly closed as they claimed it wasn't a bug, which the OP didn't claim it was (Working As Is)

There was nothing wrong with that play. Dot was not pancaked. So no point to thread. If it was a pancake and then that dot deflected the pass, I would have left it open and asked OP to be sure to file a Bug ticket.

Changing on the fly!

There is a ticket open for on a specific screen pass. I don't recall seeing anything like this recently.

The ticket is still open therefore it has not been fixed. Regardless of whether you had seen it recently, it hasn't even really been looked at.

Did I say it had been looked at? I pointed out a ticket existed for a different issue (so, in other words, there are still circumstances where players run off the field for no reason) and stated that I hadn't seen it happen recently otherwise (if you look at the bug report, there is an instance of it happening this season noted). For all I know Bort may have spent 0 time on the issue or could have spent the past two months trying to figure it out. Once its filed as a bug, its an issue the developers, in this case Bort, have to fix or determine won't be fixed.

OMG you are so fucking defensive. First, what I said was simply regarding the fact that you hadn't seen it recently.

Just out of curiosity, did you add the OPs instance as an example? Hmmmm.

No. That issue has been isolated to a specific behavior on a specific play. At this point we've seen a single case of a player running off the field on a different play. The way the player left the field was different and the circumstances were different. I did check to see if it had happened again and it hasn't (they've only run the play 4 times). At this point I would personally consider it a bug but unless it happens more often than once its not something that will ever make it to Bort's radar.

Yep, you are right it seems completely isolated.

You didn't know? There are no point to threads anymore... Nothing to see here

Everything is easily explained and Working As Is

Did you bother to click the links in the bug report? If you did, you would see the WR make a right angle cut and runs off the field. It happens consistently on a specific play at all levels.

In the linked play the CB and WR seem to wander off the field together. I think this sums up the probable cause pretty well...

Actually looks like the CB has a decent size cushion trying to prevent deep, while the WR is locked in trying to block them.

They both do this dance which takes them out of bounds until the CB recognizes the run and focuses on the QB, all the while the WR is still trying to block them.

That is completely different behavior which, most likely, means a completely different root cause. That means its a completely different bug.

I don't think I ever said working as intended. I feel its a bug. It'll take more than one instance to get buy in from those who would have to fix it.

you are not very good at this. First, I did look at the plays. While they are different in nature they are more alike than the comparison you sent me in a PM the other day. Your thinking that it sums up to probable cause to be completely different causes is pretty lame. They are probably actually tied to the exact same thing and even if they are not, it is possible that the 2 may help define where the 2 isolated events can be found. While they may be exclusive of one another they can provide help to one another. Keeping a separate item from similar issues is really not a good precedence to set. However, GLB makes a habit of setting bad precedence. Therefore, carry on.

I guess every company I've ever worked for has set a bad precedent then.

The more specific a bug report is, the easier it is to find the root cause. The more abstract the report is, the harder it is to find the root cause.

If we had players running off the field all over the place from every position at random times, I'd believe combining these makes sense. Since the bug report has already isolated the issue to a specific play there's no reason to muddy the waters.
