Re: Offensive Matrix Play Calling Bugged

Offensive play calling seems to be bugged in the same way that defensive play calling is bugged. I'm Denver in MFN-19. My game plan calls outside runs out of the 113 only 15% of the time, and only on Short and Medium distances on 1st down and 2nd down, in the first 3 Q's of the game. If I'm leading in the 4Q and want to bleed the clock, I call outside runs 45% of the time with the HB Counter being the only outside run I'm using right now out of the 113, 203, and 212. The last game my team called the 113 HB Counter 11 times with only 3 of those times coming in the 4Q. 8 times in the first 3 Q's was more than twice as many times as any of my inside runs...

...except for the 7 and 5 times out of the 212 runs. BUT, here's where things get more complicated. My game plan only calls for running out of the 212 10% of the time except for short downs. I would have expected my 113 and 203 inside runs to be called ~3x as many times as my 212 runs, but that wasn't the case. And I would expect the 113 HB Counter to be called 1 or 2 times in the first 3 Q's...not 8.

Something is definitely off: https://mfn19.myfootballnow.com/log/5096

HB Counter called 5 times through 3Q's this game including three times in a row: https://mfn19.myfootballnow.com/log/5112

Something is definitely off with offensive play calling.

I'm not sure exactly that there is a bug like there was in the defensive play calling, looking at your game plan that is the only outside run that you have selected - remember that the dice roll first chooses the play type and then a play within the type. I think it is within reason that you could get a dice roll to get an outside run rolled at the rate that the HB Counter is being called.

Going through percentage breakdowns now, and maybe. But I am seeing similar issues like one play being called the entire time while other plays aren't called at all like I did with defensive play calling as well.
