So my game anded just a couple of minutes ago. I was down 2 points, missed a shot but got an offensive rebound with 4 seconds left. As the clock expired a foul was called on one of my opponents players, which put me into the bonus, but I never got my free throws and the game ended in a loss for me.

Does that count as a bug or is there another explanation for it?

You have to already be in bonus to get the free throw. There were only 3 fouls on your opponent at the time. The next (5th) foul would been for the bonus.

It IS kind of a bug since your player would most likely be attempting a last second shot at the time of the foul.

Unless the other team fouled him immediately after he got possession of the ball, knowing that they had a foul to give and not wanting him to get a last-second shot off.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

Oh I see, you're right. I thought that there were already 4 and that was the 5th. I thought it never showed up on the scoreboard.

There is still the other point I wonder about though...if he was fouled at the buzzer then he would most certaily have been throwing something up...if it was not a shooting foul there would likely have been at least a second or two left, since as time ran out it is vitually impossible for a player not to be in the act of shooting in the given scenario.

The whole play was very odd. Oh well.

It mostly sucks cause I dropped to 0-3 with that loss, against an opponent I though I could beat playing TIE. My own fault I guess.

There is a slight bug, in that was the 2nd foul in the last two minutes of a quarter (there was another with 1:50 remaining). The bonus is in effect after the 2nd foul in the last two minutes regardless of the total number of fouls.

And it is kind of odd that you didn't get any kind of shot off after getting an offensive board with 4 seconds left and down by 2 points.

Yeah. Everything about it seemed odd.

I got all excited, thinking I had 2 shots to try and tie it with no time left, but nothing happened lol. Oh well, nothing to be done for it.
