I've been playing a few Canadian rules games with the 131 patch, and the computer has always gone for it on 3rd down. No punts, no field goals. There is definitely a kicker on the roster, and there is definitely a kick play in the playbook. Anyone else have this?

I've played a few games with the .131 patch, and haven't seen any problems in that regard. The computer team has punted and attempted field goals. Actually, I don't remember a case where the computer team hasn't kicked on third down.

Now, the distance reported for field goals is another matter. [:)] A successful field goal with the LOS at the 38 yard line is reported as 62 yards, and a missed field goal from the 13 yard line is reported as 4 yards. [&:]

Ya, I have notice this aswell with Custom US Rule Leagues aswell. The feildgoal attempt distance is calculated wrong.

This is a known bug, and it should be fixed in an update.

Thats great. Thanks for the information.

Sorry to rehash an old topic, but I have new information on this.  A while back I created some updated placekick plays (so that the ball was snapped back 7 yards instead of 3).  When I have that play in the playbook, the computer never kicks or punts.  But I can kick and punt just fine.  With the default kick play, the computer kicks and punts as normal.

I seem to remember someone else modified the kick plays a while back.  So, my question is: Has anyone used a modified kick play and avoided this problem?
 
EDIT: I should mention that I'm using Canadian rules with 11-man rosters.

I have set up a league using the Canadian rules (12 players) and all teams are using the same playbook. The playbook is a copy of the default 12-man playbook, but has the original FG play replaced by the modified FG play from www.fbmax.com. In all the human vs computer games I have played, I have not seen the problem you describe.
