League : Gridiron Boys
Season 1960 Week 9
My Lions are leading 16-15 and the Giants have a last drive to score. The game engine gives them MY three timeouts and they score and they win the game 23-16 (TD + 2pt conversion).
Isn't it a bug ?
Note : their K is really bad, missing 2 XP and 1 FG in the game, so I consider he wouldn't have scored a game-winning FG.
Based on previous similar experiences, I believe the AI logic is "New York is in field goal range and they are probably going to run down the clock and kick the game-winning field goal. So, the only chance for my Lions to get the ball back with at least a few seconds remaining is to call time outs here to prevent New York from running the clock down to zero."
I doubt that the AI takes into account the relative quality of the opposing kicker.
Perhaps someone can put what I am thinking into more analytical language, assuming that my characterization of this scenario is correct.
