Update 2023111601 - AI going for two

Improved AI going for two in fourth qtr when they should

Update 1.7.0 (2023102801), 10/28/2022

Update 1.6.0 (2023102301), 10/23/2022

  • Improved AI fourth down decisions even more (hopefully)

On the AI, I've opened it up a little (back to going for more fourth downs), but still kept it more sane in the fourth quarter. I also added some key checks when the AI down to one play. Basically, the AI should hopefully play even better in the closing minutes now. I'll continue improving the AI (and other things) in 2024, of course!
