I am being told right now it is exactly. Thats ridiculous since it means if I want to have an input for the opponent having any time outs left I have to put in three separate inputs for that.

Yes I could just have the other inputs I want to happen if he has zero in that setting be ahead of it and set to zero time outs. But those are actually settings I want to have happen in other scenarios and it would be equally onerous to do that if not more so.

Whereas if there was just the modifying drag downs requested, it could be handled with one input.

That would be a much more eloquent resolution.

See it done, GLB. See it done.



Why don't you select "Any Number" from the list of available options in the drop-down labeled "Opponents Time Outs Left"?

I think yello was a bit confused on that issue but

But knowing if kneeling on first or second or third and then fourth is enough to run out the clock requires knowing precisely how many TOuts the other team has.

Yes it could be done through stacking and stacking and stacking, each for the field positions you want to consider that option.

But that is beyond tedious.

And given the ability to have a More Than Less Than Equal To set of modifiers, it is pointless tedium that could be easily avoided with a smarter friendlier User Interface.



This is valid IMO and "any" wouldn't work with this scenario. He might want to kneel if the other team has only 2 left but not 3...

Exactly

I wasn't making myself clear before I think, but glad I finally did.

I have been OC'n and DC'n for 12+ seasons, and have had some success (granted not at WL) and I have never worried about how many time outs my opponents have.

I stick by my and think it may be time for you to stop over thinking things and take the KISS approach , with that last "S" clearly describing this suggestion

Kneel downs.

In my experience, # of TO related inputs is not a big issue. You set them once and forget about it, while the OP can be useful for new coordinators, most people will never bother with it.

I only have kneeldowns fire when opponent has 0 T.O. remaining and me on 1-3rd down and less than 19 seconds remaining and i am leading. It has never cost me a game. If an OC wants to spend the time writing out inputs for time out opponent has remaining, they can do so with what is currently coded in the game.

Now if Bort wanted to spend the time to install this suggestion it would not bother me, I just feel there are better ideas out there.
