I'm new to the FOFC2007 game, and I'm playing the Atlanta Falcons. I'd like to know why I'm doing so bad on offense... I loaded SkyDog's FOFC gameplans on it, and I'm using the West Coast Offense and am calling plays. However, I don't think it's the plays that I'm calling... is it? For some reason, I never get first downs, and last game I ran it for 33 yards and threw it for only 22. I lost 7 to 13 in that game... luckily, it was only preseason. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong or if they have anything useful to say to me? Like I said, I'm very new to this game, so I'll be very open to any suggestions. I'm starting Byron Leftwich, but Harrington hasn't been doing great in the second half either. Is it about time I try out Chris Redman?

And then on the defense, I let the computer select the plays. For some reason, every time it's a short yardage situation, my coach expects heavily on the pass, and they always gain 8 yards.

I don't know if the Falcons just suck or if I suck. Thanks in advance.

If you're calling plays, then there's no reason to have loaded the gameplan. You'd be overriding whatever gameplan was there byt he plays you are calling. Let the coach handle playcalls based on Skydog's gameplan and I bet you see some improvement.
