In four short yardage situations, my chosen player carried twice and my FB carried twice. It could be the result of using 2 TE short yardage and the FB's number getting called, although I'd prefer it if my chosen player carried the ball in those cases.
Do hurry up/run out clock equate to playing from behind/ playing with a lead?
I would fire my coach and QB for passing as much as we did with a lead.
Last question/thought: Will defensive stats ever be a part of the game, or is this meant to be an offensive simulation? I noticed it showed who is credited with a sack, but other than that, the only defensive names I saw were for penalties. Just wondering if tackles and pressures will be attributable to a player.

A few clarifications;
1. Your 2 TE pass heavy set should work as you intend, in the long run. If it doesn't let me know and I'll dig into it.
2. The short yardage back will only be automatically used in the two short yardage formations: 2-TE short yardage and 3-TE short yardage. If it is 3rd and inches and you are running a base formation, your 3rd down back will be in the game, not the short yardage back.
3. Yes, the hurry up is playing behind late in the game and run out the clock is playing with a lead late in the game. You might want to turn your passing down in run out the clock situations. The simulator also automatically evaluates situations where it is "must pass" and "must run". An example of "must pass" would be being down by 4 at mid field with 30 seconds left and no time outs. In a "must pass" situation, the simulator will automatically select a passing play. "Must run" is similar. "Must run" occurs you can run out the clock (or come to it) by just running the ball. By having this logic built into the simulator, it is possible to keep passing with the lead (if that is your coaching style), without passing in a situation where it is just plain stupid.
I'll make a separate post about details in the play by play.
