how do i make this situation to punt if cannot kick field goal?
if it's 4th and 10, and out of field goal reach, then go for it. However, I don't want to go for 4th and wayyyyyyy tooooo long.

I brought this up a while back. If Punt and FG could be added to the SPECIAL ACTION or PLAY CALL pull down menu in ADVANCED SETTINGS you could manage all those situations at any down and distance.

I guess I can create advanced option to punt for this situation. However, there is no punt option in advanced setting.

My worry about making punt or field goal available as an advanced option is the potential to use it for tanking, Granted, there are many settings that could be used to tank, but anyone just looking to make a complete mockery of things could set themselves up to punt every time they got the ball.Chris

Tanking is easy enough with or without this change but I think it would make things a lot more realistic. Between the increased sacks (which are outrageously high in comparison to the NFL) and penalties you see A LOT of 3rd or 4th and very long, 15-30 yards. Thats lot different different than 3rd or 4th and 8 which is where my "long" playbook kicks in. Choosing to kick, punt or go for it in that part of the field decides these games and cries out for better Advanced Settings control.

I once saw a guy tank by passing on every down in the 1st and 3rd quarters and running on every down in the 2nd and 4th quarters, thought that was creative.Tanking is easy enough with or without this change but I think it would make things a lot more realistic.

Well, the issue here is a punt on the 30. I am presuming he has his settings configured to never punt at the 30, otherwise it WOULD punt if a field goal wasn't available. One potential solution is to change that setting to Never punt inside the {30} yard line unless there are more than {15} yards for a first down.Chris

Thatīs smart and it would work because you then can control going-for-it there based on the Time, Score, Down and Distance options in Advanced Settings. I like it a lot.
