Touchdown vs Field Goal

The rule is take the points unless you have to go for it. Not kicking FG can make a would be 14-6 game a 14-0 game.

Unless you have a play that you're confident will work (which is tricky given how random this game is) I say take the points. I fall into this sometimes and more times than not it does bite me in the ass. In some situations you do have to go for it, but in general you gotta take the points. I've lost many games where I went for it several times and failed. The opponent had meh offense, but solid defense, and end up losing by a small margin.

Always take the points...unless you know you can't get a stop on them. If they are scoring TD's on you every drive, then you probably gotta go for it.

Depends on the situation and my opponent. I notice that towards the end of the game I find myself down by 3 or less when I had passed up on a Field Goal prior

If its 4th and 3 or less aways go for it if your near midfield or in scoring position... if your backed up in your own side of the field or its 4th and 4 or more i would kick

Early in the game im always taking the points

Really it depends how im playing and status of the game and my opponent.if I have a lead before halftime and know I will get ball again at start of 2nd half, I will just take my FG. If im down, i may go for it.

Really just depends on how well you are playing on offense and defense. There are times you have to be aggressive and times to be conservative.

Depends on time remaining, if 2 min left go for it. 30 seconds left, kick

It’s a video game let it fly on fourth

If you take it seriously, then it’s a risk and return decision. If you realize it’s just a videogame, let’s have some fun and try the TD.

They got DDA, equalizers, and all this other crap in the game but no penalty for going for 4th downs outside of needed situations. People that play this game have no real football IQ and are try hard ASF. I rarely play people that punt or go for FG's and EA aids these clowns. I play sim so I kick FG's but no matter what their NFL agreement says this ain't no sim football game so I don't even know why I play this POS

Depends...if I'm committed to going the distance (playing a full game) I'm kicking the FG every time. If it is my first drive of the game and I got the ball first I'm kicking the FG and than playing D to see if they can move it. If my opponent gets the ball first and drives it with no issues than I'm going for it as I know I'm in a shoot out. If you lost 14-13 in the 4th then it may have been clock management or your defense that lost the game, not the FG. If I'm playing to practice and not to win then I'm never kicking or punting.

I generally don't like to go for it when I'm on my own side of the field. Once I get to my 40 though, I start thinking about, all depends on if the person I'm playing has a specific play or scheme they're running over and over. Usually will only go for it on 4th if it's 5 or less yards, including when I get into my opponents side of the field. Saw someone below also mention this, once I get inside the 10 or the next first down is within the 5 yd line of my opponent ill usually kick the fg because I do find it difficult to punch it in at times that close.

Make your protocols and stick with them. Do you want to kick a FG on 4th and 2 when down by 1 with 2:30 left in the game? What about if your up by 6 or up by 3? You just gotta live with your decisions.

I always go for it on 4th down unless it’s at the end of half, the end of the game, or if It’s 4th and long inside my 20. I’m a offensive player so that’s my mindset. Plus I hate kicking field goals

I find it tough to score sometimes where you’re close to the red zone (within 10 yards) because these stacked defences just stack the boxes and I’d take the field goal usually bearing I’m not behind 2 scores or anything

Use math to figure out which is more beneficial. If you're down by 2 points, field goal for sure, if you're down by 3, it really depends on your defense and their offense.
