nothing is wrong with what you're doing. It sounds like you "get it". I hope that everyone else does.
Dude ill go for it on 4th down anytime i feel like it, if that pisses you or anyone else in this league off, Oh well get over its a video game and if it bothers you that much then you should really consider getting a life. No offense
You're right it's just a video game. If you don't want to play the game the way the league is hoping for then maybe you should join a different one. Honestly, it doesn't sound like this league is for you.
