Fake punt bug?

Post by 1GFRover »

Did I do something wrong in creating a fake punt play? I started with the Punt formation, and had the center snap to one of the up-back blockers (FB) in the back field and then a simple run to the right. The run is good for at least 10 yards every time. And every time I should be credited for the first town the ball gets turned over as if lost on downs.
Is this a known bug or operator error?
I created the play in the earlier version play design utility.

It's a bug. It was only just reported by someone else (about 5 minutes prior to your post), so I've not had a chance to look at it yet. It's something I'll look into.

Thanks

I think adding fake punts is only useful for non-AI controlled playbooks.  Because the computer will call a fake on any 4th down.

Not if you assign the play as 'situation use only' in the play book. If you create a specific situation to call a fake, the computer will only call that play in that situation.

Correct but you can't a special teams play to the profiles section unless you make a special offense formation to look like a punt formation.
