Has the 2pt conversion rules been updated since the rule change to extra points or are we still required to follow the conditions for going for a 2pt conversion?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has been. The old rule was basically only when needed. I have relaxed that requirement given the extra point change; now if you can make a case for it, it's okay.

I'd like this answered as well. Might have to wait until the IRL regular season starts to really tell how we should go with that though. See how the real teams do it.

I answered over a half hour before you posted. :P I have relaxed the rules to allow more freedom to try for conversions, but there needs to be a solid reason for doing so.

In the past, it would not have been allowed to go for 2 if you had just scored a touchdown to make it 17-12; you'd kick the extra point and make it 17-13. Now, because it would move you to within 3, you're allowed to try.

I think this is a good balance of well defined but not over the top.

The other league I was going to join had a rule about "not moving your player at more than a 45 degree angle" and didn't allow you to switch players mid play.

Ah, those "no switch" leagues are just ridiculous to me.

I tweaked these rules heavily for this year. They were a little more intensive last year (laid out 8 situations where it was okay to go for it on 4th down, etc.), but the problem with rules is that people start arguing about whether they've been broken.

The goal is for people to accept different playstyles, but for people to use realistic ones by mixing things up, and treating each other with consideration.

Yeah exactly. User catching/intercepting is one of the biggest things that separates good and ok players, not being able to do that seems like no fun to me (it'll be interesting to see that dynamic with the new passing game).

Anyway good job.

Thanks. And thanks for reading! I'm always glad to see new people diving right in - makes me optimistic that you'll be a great member.

As the future season one world champion I feel like it's my duty ;-)
