What the heck was this?

Down by 7. 1 Minute to go. 4th and goal from the opponent's 14.

I decide to kick a FG?

The odds are much better that I can complete a 14 yard pass than recover an onside kick (not to mention then score a TD with less than a minute remaining).

Following up:

Down by 4 with about a minute to go...

A series of plays that starts well enough (https://mfn1.myfootballnow.com/gamecenter/view/6153#1107481)...

But the following plays devolve into 3 short-route passes (for 10 yards total) coming out of time outs, and a 2-yard run on the last play of the game?

That doesn't seem right.

You have to make a rule for that situation

While that makes sense, and I likely will make a rule now... Shouldn't the coaches (AI) be playing to win in a reasonable winnable situation like that, even without my intervention?

That's my point.

Yes, but any time you let the Ai make a decision for you (in game or out of game) you are just asking to be screwed.

That said, I still let the Ai handle most in game situations because of how limited the gameplanning options are right now, I've just come to accept it will most likely not make the right decision.
