Please let us know when you're done with creating the match engine then. I'm delighted to hear how easy it will be for you to accomplish


The run part was quite easy to write as I just did matchups for run blockers with run defenders using the combined stats to assign a probability of winning the matchup then rolling the dice to determine who actually 'won'. If the OL wins the defender is out of the play and the runner moves on to the next player; if not he gets a chance to tackle the runner.
Of course to make it more complex I'd need to add in what happens if the O is overmatched by a stout run D, leading to them trying more sweeps to match up to the weaker outside part of the D (left or right), which in turn has the runner behind the LoS for longer giving more chance of a tackle for a loss.
Pass play will be more complicated though to write from scratch

No idea why you'd bother to write another game when there's a lot of other games to play that are out there.

Personally, I'd like to see a cross between old Playmaker Football and Madden.

And it's not very often we say that about this game



Pretty true, but for all the quirks, the randomness actually does end up making the results about as similar to real life as you could hope for in an online game. You get your upsets mixed in with ridiculous passing stats or occasional defensive struggles, but no pick sixes, no safeties, no punt/kick returns for TDs, no last second FG option, etc. I'd love to see a simple game like this incorporate all of that, but haven't yet


Look at blake bortles..., no pick sixes? look at baltimore and seattle... no safeties?

Writing the game can be fun in itself. I managed a match engine over the past year but am struggling with the organising a league bit. How to store players etc.

A large part of it for me was to practise a new coding language I needed for a new job ato the time.

Can someone explain to me why I punted yesterday from the opponents 40 Yard Line (the game says "Phi60" ) when it was 4th and 5 and my settings were

On 4th down punt or attempt a field goal If distance < 50 yards
Unless yards left
<=40 On 4th and 5


It's this match, my second possession of the game, if you want to take a look.

It says less or equal 40 Yards and I was 40 Yards away (we're not talking FG or Punt here, were you have to add 17 respectively 7). And it was 4th and 5, which qualifies to go for it.

It couldn't have gone wrong any worse, since the following play was a long TD from my opponent. In general, the punt wasn't the worst thing, since it did pin him deep. But nonetheless, it wasn't according to my settings, at least how I understand them.

Known text bug. Even through it say equal to and under. It is really just under.

dont fully understand what the question is... but 4th and 2 from the 68 would be a 49y field goal (need to add 17y on to the distance to goal line for endzone and holder). if you're questioning why your team punted, it's because you don't have the orders set to try a field goal from 49y (which is the correct thing to do as kickers in this game are rubbish).

I would argue the correct thing to do is to go for it on 4th down but that is a different discussion
