I play Triangle. Always. I looked over my settings and they are all set to triangle.

In last nights game late in the 2nd half I saw this...

Purdue is playing a spread offense and a 2-3 zone defense (-3)

Is this a common thing or is something wrong?

Its common...there were only 20 seconds to go and the sim is acting in "your best interest". I questioned/complained about the same thing, that its overriding my/your settings (which it is) and I think one can still make an/the argument for that, however I've accepted this as a normal practice of the game and really have no problems with it.

Why would you want to do something else when you have a really big lead with a minute or less ?

You are still running your offense, just a spread version of it. It's what pretty much every RL team I've ever seen has done at the end of a game with a lead.

if the engine didnt do this, people would get all bent out of shape because in the last minute it didnt do the obvious smart thing and run some clock
