Then attacking team just punts the ball as far as possible.

that is a good point. i have sent my rush lvl to 2 yards. not that on any of my 4th down attempts i have been that close. does it take the rush first or just auto go to the punt. i have also set my FG guy to come out with 20 yrds.

It means that your players will rush the ball on the 4th down only if there's 1 yard left to the next 1st down (no matter the position).


Edit: You raised an interesting question here. We talked about it and it is a little dangerous to attempt to rush on 4th down when still in your half. We will change this so that the players will try to rush the ball on 4th down only if your team is on the opponents half. The changes will take effect after todays league matches (for tomorrows friendly) and it will be announced on the main news later today

Isn't it always better to attempt a field goal on 4th down, than to punt?

Where as, if you punt, you take the safe option because you know that the opposition will start with a lot more yards away to get to your end zone. Sorry, if you know this and if I've stated the obvious

I didn't know that, so thanks
I thought that if you tried a field goal, and you missed, the defence also had to start where the ball landed, but that's not true apparently
