Mitch, the computer is obviously giving priority to the GLP, which is the point that I was making and confirms my testing. The situation is 4th and something and you have called a Punt Return or Field Goal defense. When the computer sees that the offense is going on the 4th down, it randomly grabs one of your GLP plays.

Now, if you remove all the GLP plays from your profile and leave the GLR and RRD, my guess is that the game will randomly call a GLR from your profile. I also believe that if you remove both the GLP and GLR plays from your profile and leave the RRD, my educated guess is that the computer will randomly call a RRD play.

So, what I was trying to say in my first posting is that if you like say GLR plays against a 4th and something, make sure that you do not have GLP and RRD in your profile for the computer to grab. That way you can call the routine Punt Return and Field Goal defenses and if the team goes on 4th down, the computer will randomly grab a GLR play. If you like GLP on a 4th down attempt, then you are all set based on your own testing.

No, see my previous post to Mitch. The computer will only call a play in your profile, but it has a pecking order, which looks like Goal Line Pass has priority, if it is in your profile. I have never seen the computer go outside a profile. The computer would have nowhere to go outside your profile or a way to get there! :roll:

If it's 4th-1, wouldn't you want the computer to give priority to a GL defense?
But, what is the computer doing on 4th-5? 4th-12?
And is it really ignoring a teams 4th down call if they called pass short?

The CPU called RM plays on 4th & 1, even when I had GLP, GLR and RRD in my gameplan. It leaned heavier GLP on 4th & 2-5.

Well, as you said, it is a coaching issue :shock:

@Rich - I haven't noticed the computer overriding a play call unless its an actual special teams call. Meaning, if you have PS for your 4 & 2-5, it will call a PS.

It only overrides the Special Teams defense.

If it only overrides special teams plays, I see no problem.
Call the play you want, perhaps at the expense of a punt return.
That's the coaches call.
