Some form of this I am sure has been brought up ibefore, but it is something that seriously needs to be addressed!
For those of us in Casual,, here's an issue we have all seen before. But explain the football logic here:

4th down, 1/2 yard to go on our own 47, down by two, 53 seconds left with 1 time out. We PUNT!
In what football world would this really happen?
I get that Bort wants Casual to be "Casual" with as little control and time involved as possible. I also know that he says that, if you want more control have a regular league team, (Been there, done that!!!) But there is not a way that in ANY competitive game, would that decision to punt have been made. If the Casual sim is not going to reflect what would normally happen in those situations, there should be at least some form of control to make it do what should be done! We already have the "Allow Score Based Play Calling When Trailing" for Quarters 1 thru OT. But why don't we have another one for "2 minutes"? It would have the Casual Sim make those type of calls to go for it automatic" Just basic common sense calls that ANYONE would make when trailing. This would also call more pass plays to stop the clock when incomplete and to move the ball down field more quickly, to work to field goal range to get a tie or win and to work towards a to TD when trailing by 4 or more and always going for it when trailing when there is almost no chance (short of a turnover) to get the ball back before the end of the game! This is how football is played. Why would ANY team simply give up when they have a legitimate chance to win (which is what you are doing by kicking the ball away under two minutes). It could also include actually running the ball when ahead to run time off the clock under 2 minutes. BASIC FOOT BALL LOGIC!
btw, I am willing to bet almost every Casual team, owner/coordinator would check that 2 minute box if it was implemented!
If this isn't done, then please FIX THE CASUAL SIM to what a normal sane person would do in those situations.
