SIM COMPLETE - Week 2

[Cotton]

It's generally +17 yards for FGs. 7 for the hold, 10 for the end zone.

Righto. Like I said, I'm a little brain dead this morning.

4-15-DEN28 (2Q: 03:22) Joe Kaplan punted 28 yards. Touchback.

Well inside the 40 yard max that we have set for field goal attempts. This game sux.

I think it's at least 41 yarder from the 28. You have to add 13 or 14 yards for the spot hold. I wish I could remember what the exact number is, but I'm a bit brain dead this morning.

Otherwise there's no way your coach punts there. I've never seen that before. Like, ever.

It is 17 yards you add. The endzone is 10 yards deep and the holder is generally 7 yards behind the line of scrimmage. So, if you want your FG kicker to attempt from the 28, make sure your setting is 45 or higher.

[Cotton]

Yes. It's that annoying blue line they put on the field late in the fourth quarter, "Here's where they need to get to get into field goal range..."

I just forgot about the ten for the end zone. I'm old. Maybe I'm still living in the days when the goalposts were on the goal line.

(As a former clumsy fullback that collided with them on a regular basis, I am glad for future generations that they are no longer there.)

[Cotton]

And my high school athletic department was too cheap to actually pad the damn things.

[Jistic]

That's right 2-0! Both division wins. Smoke, mirrors, and defense. Thought we'd get smoked in this one. Clements really had a nice day, our D was tough again. Shutting out the Totems and holding them to 1/13 on 3rd down.

The Reaper D still hasn't allowed a TD yet. Then again our O only had one so far.

It's been nice, but this won't last.

Ugh, 0-2 now. I was favored by 3.5 and lost by 10. My running game was horrid, and for some reason my coaches pretty much abandoned it after a good first quarter. The defense got eaten up in the 2nd quarter. Although we're 0-2 now, I still think we can turn this season into something. We'll see though.

[Heelfan71]

2 games with no TD's I move the ball well but can't punch it in. Some heads are going to roll !

someone please email me the file. deepblu at gmail.com, thanks.

Showboats --- Don't be sad --- No one was going to beat us on the eve of Groundhog Day --- Loved the 67 yards (67 YAC) on the play by your fullback

My fullback can fly.

Tough loss to a very balanced San Fran team - I thought we did a great job bottling him up on the ground but he still had 2 big returns that probably led to our defeat. Our passing game was as cold as I have ever seen a passing game in the second half. I don't think Allen was comfortable all game.

Scovill continues to be our only consistent star on offense while FA DE Mohler and S Jon Banks continue to make plays.

Camden comes to town next week in the opening stretch for Yuma, facing another top 10 team.

Its gonna be a ballgame.

yet I go for 4th and 10 on my own 20...LOL

Had the same problem the first week from the 9 yard line (they took over and scored 3 plays later) ---- Really the only real weak part of the AI that is readily evident (that I've seen in my limited play)

[HWessinmouse]

So what you're saying is, when you set your max fg attempt range, it's asking for the actual yardage of the kick, not the field position at the time?!?!? #-o

I thought that if I had it set at 40, that would be the 40 yard line (57 yard max attempt). #-o #-o

Thanks for clearing that up. Now all I need to do is disable punting...

[SoobieTech]

Hey, we covered the spread. They actually had to come from behind to win, so I wouldn't call it a complete disaster.

edit--Oops, actually it was a push. I thought it was 27-20. My bad. But we did score some points, which was unexpected. Columbus should have shut us out.
