With 12 minute quarters and 40 second clock on a Canadian field I get scores like 77-52, 45-54

My rmfl single player league has a different variety with non beta patches. I'm almost done. I just barely moved the league to 2.0.187 and am close to completing the first official week with that patch

I'll post the scores when it's done

Hi,
this idea sounds quite interessting.
I created a league (with the settings mentioned above), but wasn´t able to play a game, because I got a message, saying that the playbook is missing "mandatory plays" & cannot be used.
What I have to do / which changes on the playbook are necessary to run the game?
Any help would be much appreciated.

I created a league (with the settings mentioned above), but wasn´t able to play a game, because I got a message, saying that the playbook is missing "mandatory plays" & cannot be used.

A reason could be that necessary plays are not in the playbook (e.g. special team plays). It depends on the number of the player. So an 8 men offense can only use a playbook designed for an 8 player offense regardless of the field size. Sometimes after editing a playbook a special team play is deleted so that the playbook is not useable.

[garysorrell]

Tbird, I use the 25sec clock, likely why I get the scores I do in the shorter time span.

[22sec]

Looks like I'll have to create some defenses for the hybrid game.  The zones have to be extended and enlarged for the wider field.

[garysorrell]

Yes, thats for sure. I mainly use the stock defenses, and maybe 6 custom for the larger field. That definately makes a differense. I just havent invested the time into the defense yet.

There's an 8man punt play over at fbmax.com

I'm pretty sure it still works with version 2.0

[garysorrell]

Yep, it does. I tested it recently, seems to work ok

[Frido1207]

@Tbird :1st of all thx for the helpful hint.

I also tested it, but I guess I´m doing something wrong or missed something.
I can use the punt play while in offense, but playing vs pc controlled teams, the AI never used that play. Instead, it always choosed the FG try.

[garysorrell]

Make sure the plays were added to the playbook the teams are using.

[Frido1207]

After checking the "Situation Specific Use Only" - Rule, it seems to work properly now.
Thx for your help.
