I have my own ai but it keeps going for it on 4th downs I have the inputs "in field goal range" output: Kick field goal: Out of field goal range: punt:I have also 4th down and 1-5 and some plays for that and 4th down and 7-11 and outs puts for that. Trying to figure out the problem for why I keep going for it own 4th downs.

if you have inputs for 4th and 1-5 to go, and 4th down and 7-11 to go, your team is going to go for it on 4th down when facing any of those yards to go. (unless you have it limited to certain spots on the field)

In some of my OAI's I will put 4th and 0-1 to go from own 25<>opponents goal ,and I would have that right on top of my AI. Only time my team would go for it is when facing 4th and 0(inches) to 1 yard. And will never have it listed anywhere else except bottom of AI, where it is set at 4th down inside FG range = FG , and below that input is another that is 4th down and <any> to <any> yards to go = Punt.

Key thing is to have your FG input-output above any of the other 4th down input-outputs. Then that will always get called when you are within FG range if you have the down-distance-Within FG range settings correct. If you want to go for it on 4th and very short even within FG range, then above the FG range input-output have a Go For It Input: 4th & 0-1.

Remember also that you cannot punt within the 30 (or 35?) yard line. If your Kicker's range is not that great, this means that unless you have inputs for 4th&(every yardage situation) the sim will choose a play for you, not from your packages, when you are inside the 30 but still outside FG range on 4th down.
