2 things.

1) I was up by 1 with 17 seconds to go, when the other team fouls my PG. Before the FT, my coach subs all the remaining 4 players (whom happen to be my starters) our of the game for bench players. I go on to make both FT's and I am up by 3. After the 2nd FT my coach subs out my starting PG (the dude that made the FT's). So now I am up by 3, with 17 seconds to go, in a playoff game and my best players are all on the bench. So of course, the other team made a 3 pointer at the buzzer to force OT. Why in the world were all 5 of my starters subbed out with 17 seconds to go in that situation.

...that leads me into #2.

2) we are now in OT (I can't remember if I started OT with my starters or not). But anyways, I am down by 2 when I get fouled with no time left. I missed the first one. Not that the game engine goes in tenths of seconds, but if there was only 1 second on the clock, would the player realize he needs to miss the 2nd FT, or would he attempt to make it? I mainly put this one in here, because my guy made the 2nd and was curious.

But it seems as though all my starters were substituted in teh last 17 seconds. Anyone know why?

that is really weird....

its as if somehow the blowout rule was triggered.. but i don't see how it could be given that it was a close game.... i'm wondering how we will track this one down but we will look into it.

the second one is one of a number of advanced end game logic things we need to add in...

on the list are.. (charles might have more on his mind)

2 for 1
better clock management (faster fouls)
intentionally missed FTs

then can I get my win back since it was stolen from me, by a glitch, by a bot team. :-) I'm only half kidding BTW. lol

Also, I don't think the fast forward match replay option is working correctly. I tried to go to the last 17 seconds of regular time and the system keeps bringing me to the end of the half. For a reference, I put in 47 minutes and 30 seconds as the time I wanted to fast forward to. And how can I rewatch OT to see if the GE subbed back in my starters after they were on the bench for the last 17 seconds.

unfortunately due to the construction of the GE we can only fast forward in REAL TIME.. so if you want to go to the end of the game you need to go like to minute =90 or so..
