Running on 3rd down

MFN-35 Boston

I have my tactics set so I am not running the ball at all on 3rd and medium or long. I have my GP Distance Adjustment Speed set to 0. On many occasions on 3rd down and 5 plus I was running the ball:

3-10-BOS 23 (12:35) 38-Joel Alfaro ran to BOS 31 for 8 yards. Tackle by 52-Frank Carter.

3-5-BOS 42 (2:12) 26-Nathaniel Shorts ran to BOS 41 for a short loss. Tackle by 98-Hugh

3-9-SFO 43 (1:52) 26-Nathaniel Shorts ran to SFO 38 for 4 yards. Tackle by 27-Gerardo

3-29-BOS 20 (7:17) 5-Kenneth July ran to BOS 21 for 1 yards. Tackle by 92-Fred Lowery

3-8-BOS 17 (1:01) 30-Nathan Hobson ran to BOS 18 for 1 yards. Tackle by 23-Jamey

3-10-BOS 29 (5:04) 22-Ryan Bott ran to BOS 36 for 8 yards. Tackle by 68-Vincent Green.

I have never had this problem in other leagues

I noticed this too. For a while. Weeks? Under my playbook it seems that too many 3rd down runs are called. I have my GP adjust at zero also. Hmmmm?

In your game plan screen you can view the plays and their weights for each situation - you might check to make sure you don't have 0 plays there (in which case it will just select a random play)?

Actually I just looked and I have no plays at all listed. Think we had this same issue once before in a new league. I have plays in my playbook
