rules question:

If you set a specific rule, and it's set for 100% pass for example...
It will trigger ONLY when it's a pass play,correct? Or am I mistaken?

Hey Wolfkill,
Great question! My understanding would be...and if I'm wrong someone please correct me...if you set up a rule, for example (defensive rule) 3rd and medium with 100% pass key. Whenever your opponent is in a 3rd and medium situation, the rule kicks in. If your opponent runs the ball, you will take a hit for yards on the play. If your opponent chooses a pass play, you get a bonus (less yards) for that play.

So, I believe the rule will trigger whenever a 3rd and medium play is called, run or pass.

That's what I'm hoping to find out. In your example,shouldn't it only trigger if it's ONLY a pass play? (without any other rules set)

Depends on if you're talking about your offense or your defense.

Your offense will run a pass play 100% of the time if you set it to pass in that situation.

Your defense will key on the pass 100% of the time, regardless of whether the opponent is running or passing. So mwd65 is correct.

Now I know why I was getting thrown off when I was looking over games. It was showing me pass key when I had a rule set to 100% run.

One thing to remember is that the play overuse logic will cause you to key correctly on the plays your opponent overuses.
