Get game engine is tracking everything as floating point, but we obviously don't want to say "3rd and 4.788 at the MIA 23.879902 yard line, gain of 4.501" - so the discrepancies you're seeing are because of the rounding. "Inches" is displayed if it's less than 0.5 yards. However, I would be curious to see a gain of 11 that results in 2nd and inches to see if I need to make an adjustment to the rounding. ...And here it is: http://mfn1.myfootballnow.com/watch/***#77485 Thank you your honor...I rest on your face. |
