Warrior General Games

I get why some flavor penalties are in the game, and I get how they usually off set one another.

But you can not have the random rare penalty blow a game like this

Third and Two becomes Third and Seven is too much

I doubt you will give me that back by screwing the other team in a key down like that.

So remove em in key situations, or turn em off in playoff games entirely.

And eff you who say build better dots. The dot has vision 70 and no tactical or VA choices that would trigger penalties.

penalties as implemented just 100% suck.

Yeah plus one, everyone knows that penalties have never happened on a key down in any other form of Football or ever cost a team a game before in RL. It's just poppycock!

Saints VS. Seahawks
But that game was really just the penalty that killed it. :/

agreed. it has never happened outside this game. this shit is outrageous. bort better get rid of penalties because they dont happen in real football.

IF penalties made sense

IF penalties happened more often so that they were routinely a part of the game rather than one a game for each team

IF penalties were controlled by the dot agents and team coaching choices (ie entirely driven by Vision and VA and Tactical Choices)

THEN it would be a totally different thing.

Then it would in fact be just another part of a football simulation. One that would still have some frustrating elements to it, but which you would be able to try to mitigate by picking players and tactics to avoid them, and one which would happen often enough to both sides that it would be inherently fair.

BUT

Making it just two random plays in the game, and having one of them possibly be a key game changing third down and the other a meaningless first and long is simply built to infuriate. Particularly in a playoff game.

So yes, you could read my suggestion to be Fix It OR do what i said in the OP.

Or get rid of them altogether.

But my point stands.

Why on earth you held your TE, HB, and FB on 3rd and long nobody will ever know for sure, but that is the part where you lost the game. Not the false start penalty.

Get rid of all penalties.

We won the game

I held because of the scouting

The one that gets me is when there are 3 or more false starts in a row.

the yello we all love is back

That in pee wee?

Maybe I have been lucky but what I see, so much that I thought it was a thing, was one for each team mid game.
