Why Not 4 Downs - Eakin - 6-2-14 4:40 PM
Ok so I was thinking about the mod and it's call the America football mod but in American football their are 4 downs so just wondering why their is not a 4th down like a punt or fg type thing you can fg on 3rd down but they don't do it in real football so would their ever be a chance of seeing a 4th down or do you think no one would ever punt the ball or just take a fg

Probably made to make the game a little harder. If it was 4 downs it would probably need 20 yards for a first down instead of the already more than american football 15. Hell NFL Blitz does this, it's 30 yards for a first down in that game.

It would be too easy with 4 downs. American Football has 3 downs to get the first with the 4th down being an option of punting, kicking, or going for the first.
If we were to make it 4 downs then we would have to incorporate punting and then we would have to enforce it rigorously.
Also, WhooKid was never a fan of punting or having 4 downs so that's your answer in short.

Whookid is just Canadian and showing his true allegiance to the CFL.

Offense is easy enough in this mod and defense is hard enough in this mod, personally think adding another down is just "making the rich richer and the poor poorer".
