The AI just let the clock run out w/o attempting a field goal!!!!

very rarely something happens like that. I have had it happen one time in 20+ games and I jumped off sides and then the CPU kicked.

I was absolutely stunned last night while playing my franchise with the Rams. I'm in game two with the 49ers and we're deadlocked at 7-7 heading deep into the 4th quarter. There's roughly 3 and a half minutes left and finally, the niners are moving the ball on the ground with Barlow. I'm having a heck of a time slowing him down. Methodical runs continue to bring San Fran first downs. With just over a minute to go, they're on my 5 yard line and it's second down. They run a play to the three. Third down, they run a play to the 1. 4th down. Time is ticking. They have at least one, maybe two timeouts. And even if I was wrong and they used their timeouts somehow, they still just stood there in the huddle letting the clock wind down. 15 secs, 10 secs, (I'm thinking there's nothing I can do except possibly block the field goal), 5 secs, 3 secs, 1 sec (no timeout???) 0...clocks runs out. We head to overtime where I eventually win. However, I can't seem to wonder what in the world happened?!?!?! How could the AI not pick up that the game's in the 4th quarter and they have use of their timeouts? I evened my record at 1-1 but obviously feel as though I cheated. Never have I ever experienced this in a football video game.

Damn! I WISH that would happen to me. Maybe I wouldn't have lost that conference championship game against the Bills in year one of my Franchise. They called a timeout with about 5 secs left in the game, score tied at 17 , and kicked the game winner.

What quaterback were you using in your franchise and what was his COMPOSURE and LEADERSHIP rating?

I've had the same thing happen as well. Was kinda annoyed. CPU should have won. I guess that makes up for the CPU NEVER missing a FG.

What difference does it make? I think even Ryan Leaf would have called the timeout in that situation.
