Back to I had to punt on 1st down n this game could not recognize that

Yea... because 999/1000 times it is a fake. If a real football team is punting from their 1 in 1st they are running out of back of endzone for a safety and a clean kick. Have you watched the NFL, or have you gotten so used to calling punt squeeze and watching the CPU audible to verticals that you thought the opposite would work?

If it was a safety I would lose the game Also their only chance of winning would be to have somebody field the punt and hopefully return it .what’s strange is when you’re up in this game 30 to 10 with five seconds left the game still calls a time out yet it can’t counter a punt on 1st down with the game winnable if they fielded the punt .

I think teams used to punt on 1st down sometimes like 100 years ago but the game has changed a bit since then

Back when it was still new similar to rugby. There were alot of reasons to kick.

Nope actually 4 yrs ago it was done by the Patriots also eagles did it a few times

No, they didn't. You're lying.

Teams USED to quick-kick on 3rd downs...and they'd do that out of shotgun when it was like 3rd and 25 and they were backed up. But no, nobody punted on 1st down 4 years ago. And they didn't do it "a few times."
