Is there code that jacks up the number of penalties to keep a game artificially close.
Here's the latest example. I beat my last opponent in MFN-75 by a score of 49-19, but the game wasn't that close: https://private75.myfootballnow.com/gamecenter/view/216#42198
I respect all of my opponents in 75, but my defense was completely in Mistborn's game plan.
If you look at the game log, my opponent had more first downs than I did. The reason being my team gave up 7 first downs on penalties (most of them defensive holding penalties).
I've noticed that my teams end up having a lot of penalties and that the number of penalties increases with the size of my lead in a game. Are these things merely coincidental? If so, can someone tell me how to get this coincidence to work in real life in my favor?
