Strange Observations
Okay so I've come across a few things that seem strange to me and want some feedback regarding because I'm curious if I'm just unlucky!
Dynasty Injuries:
Game 3 of my dynasty. 1st time my QB was tackled in the 3rd quarter he strained his abdomen and was out 7 weeks.
I reloaded the game. 1st time my QB was tackled in the 3rd quarter he ripped his pectoral and was out 7 weeks.
I reloaded the game. 1st time my QB was tackled in the 3rd quarter he strained his abdomen and was out 7 weeks.
So I gave up and just played without him, but I thought that was strange that no matter how many times I reloaded on that first tackle in the 3 quarter (different plays) the QB always went out for 7 weeks.
"Fixed" games
ND vs MSU. ND 31 MSU 3 5 min. quarters start of the 4th quarter.
ND throws interception at 4:30ish mark. MSU interception and TD.
ND fumbles kickoff return, MSU recovers. MSU 1st running play goes to the 1 and the QB sneaks it in for the score.
ND 31 MSU 17
ND fumbles an option toss MSU recovers. 1 play later long pass for touchdown.
ND 31 MSU 24
ND 3 and out. Punt returned for TD by MSU after about 6 broken tackles.
Tied game with about 45 seconds left.
So MSU tries on-side. MSU recovers. Hail Mary on 1st & 2nd down fail. About 20 or 25 seconds left. Throw a little out route stops the clock around 12 seconds with MSU on the 35 or so.
Hail Mary, ball is bouncing around and an MSU receiver dives into the fray as the ball bounces away and catches. MSU kicks off, makes the tackle and wins.
Okay...comebacks happen. But does it not seem like the CPU flat out threw that game? How much bad luck and lousy play can there be?
Fast forward 1 game to Illinois...
Illinois & MSU are tied with 1 minute left. 21-21. Illinois is at mid-field. It's 3rd & 10 after 2 bad passes got knocked down.
MSU encroachment. 3rd & 5....MSU encroachment 1st & 10. Next play MSU encroachment 1st & 5...next play MSU roughing the passer. Next play MSU encroachment.
Illinois went from MSU's about 47 to inside their 10 yard line only completing a single pass for like 8 yards because of penalty after penalty. I even called a time out after the 1st & 10 encroachment that put them around the 37 yard line thinking maybe it had to do with the guys on the field or something I had no idea about.
Regardless...Illinois rushes in for a touchdown and ends up holding on to win...
I never saw this kind of stuff in the exhibition games only in dynasty. I always had close games and felt like I either blew the lead or the AI screwed up. I never felt like games were flat out decided by the AI which is annoying as all get out.
Anyone else notice this kind of stuff in Dynasty only?
