    Setting all sorts of rules for 4th down causes nothing but complaining and finger pointing. It's a SIM league and players should play that way. There are times when you can make an argument for going for it and vice versa. If something happened, PM me about it.

    How is SIM to say you can't go for 4th and 2 or whatever the situation is? Makes no sense. Whatever you're upset about, PM me about it. Having rules that dictate what you do in certain situations never made any sense to me. If someone is abusing things and going for it at times that make no logical sense then I will do something about it. Have had 0 complaints thus far.

    It was 4th and like 5 on your 44. Too close to punt and too long to kick a FG. What does it matter? I missed the FG anyway. If you wanna talk about rules, there should be something on running backwards or to the side immediately when the ball is snapped like a ~*~* every single time on a pass play.

    This is exactly why I don't set strict rules for 4th down and other situations. There are things everyone does that wouldn't really happen in an NFL game. Does that mean I should sit here and throw rules for everything? No. You have Prior, you can run with him. Lundy has the choice to either spy him, send a blitz from the side he is anticipating you will scramble to, etc. It's a game, play it. I know you're 0-3 and losing isn't fun but don't pull the "we need rules" card because of it.

    Doesn't have to be a rule. I'm just amazed people find it fun to play that way

    I was referring to him asking for 4th down rules. Scrambling around with Prior every play is more unrealistic then going for it in the situation that you described.

    I have never played in a sim league without one. Usually it is 4 and inches anywhere if you are down by 17 in any q or losing in the fourth you can go whenever, lastly you can go for it when you are on the 5 yard line or closer. Either way people will start bitching atleast with laid out rules there will be a laid out expectation... Not to point fingers but vik was going for it 4th and 5 up 21-0 in the 4th vs Jess while doing the hurry up.... That isn't sim

    First I've heard of Vik pulling that. If I'm not told about the issue, I can't fix it. I'll talk to him.

    Jess said she was going to message you but I think she didn't wanna bother you. Was a good game tho other than a few questionable 4th down calls!

    She didn't message me about it. Please tell her it's not a bother, I'd rather be told about it so I can handle it before it becomes a bigger issue. I messaged Vik, he's a reasonable guy so I'm sure there won't be any other issues moving forward.

    It will be hard to enforce rules especially if games cant be changed after theyre completed. If someone breaka a ruke what punishment do they get if they alrdy won the game? If someone does something questionable yell at your xbox to record it, thats rly the only thing we can do

    just dont play like a ~*~*, in my connected careers im in its with 31 other random people that idk, i have the 49ers since they were still around with 26 other people so i picked them, i hardly run with kap, or run to 1 side of the field and play cheesy, ill punt the ball, etc. The only time you should be a cheesy ~*~* is in head to head or mut, dont do it in connected careers, you take the fun outta the 1 game mode where i feel you shouldnt be cheesy.

    We need to enforce some rules when I play. Opposing players have to run it at my beastly run defense on 1st and 2nd down. On 3rd down, they may throw it, but not over 15 yards. Thanks Bob.
