Subject: Flaws of the game

I did not write the software for this game... God knows if I could do such a thing, I would fix many things.

One thing I noticed was that in the Wichita-Black Hills game, Wichita went for 2 points late in the game. Had they kicked the extra point, they would have been within 3... so why go for 2?

Next time they had the ball, they drove to the Black Hills 15 and on 4th and 7 on the 15, they could have kicked a game-tying field goal (see below), but instead had to go for it.


Wichita's ball on Black Hills's 15 yard line. Fourth and just over 7 to go.
:26 left in the fourth quarter. The score is Wichita 20, Black Hills 24.


I unfortunately cannot change plans, since I believe the profiles are setup in a range. It doesn't say "If down by 4, kick the 1 point try", rather I believe it looks at range... "If down by > 5 points, do this..."

If someone wants to work on the logic of these things I welcome it. This would certainly make you smarter than the developers.

The game must have been written by a bunch of Canadians or something :) (Sorry Ian).
