Here is a group of similar examples from the same game.
NFL League, 2045 season, Conference Championship game, Jets vs. Jaguars.
The Jets have an offensive gameplan rule called "THIRD DOWN (and 6 or 7 yards to go)" that is set up to activate in every possible game circumstance as follows:
Down: Third
Distance: 6 - 7 To Go
Location: Own 0 - Own 25, Own 25 - 50, 50 - Opp 25, Opp 25 - Opp 0
Quarter: First, Second, Third, Fourth, Overtime
Time: 15:00 - 0:00
Score: Down 29+ - Up 29+
This gameplan rule did not "fire" four different times when it should have even though all gameplan conditions were met. We know there was a failure because the play-by-play text does not show the gameplan rule. In the occurrences shown below, all conditions of the gameplan rule are met but no gameplan rule is shown and a random offensive play was selected that is not a play from the gameplan rule had it "fired" properly:
1st Quarter
3-6-NYJ 24 (8:08)
3-Mitchell Christenson pass incomplete, intended for 13-Sarto Veloce . NYJ 64-Bon Fire was injured on the play. He looks like he should be able to return.
Offensive Play: Singleback Normal WR Quick In
Defensive Play: Nickel Normal CB3 MLB Blitz
Pass Key
3rd Quarter
3-6-NYJ 29 (13:40)
4-Van Tovenaar ran to NYJ 26 for -4 yards. Tackle by 48-Kenneth Rowe .
Offensive Play: Shotgun 2 RB 3 WR Shotgun Sweep
Defensive Play: Nickel Normal CB3 MLB Blitz
Pass Key
3rd Quarter
3-6-NYJ 25 (5:42)
34-Zander Fisherman ran to NYJ 26 for 1 yards. Tackle by 27-Brian Alford .
Offensive Play: Weak I Normal HB Inside Weak
Defensive Play: 4-3 Under Double Safety Blitz
Run Key
4th Quarter
3-6-NYJ 40 (10:23)
34-Zander Fisherman ran to NYJ 42 for 2 yards. Tackle by 90-James Yu .
Offensive Play: Weak I Normal HB Inside Weak
Defensive Play: Dime Normal Double WR1
Run Key
For the gameplan rule that didn't fire but should have in all four of these 3rd down and 6 yards to go scenarios, I had only medium passes as potential play selections. The rule didn't fire and no medium passes were selected.
