I've just lost a hame for a missed FG in OT :

1:43 1 and 10 to go on opp 41, Alonso Rey (OC) snaps the ball to Guerino Grando (QB), Rado Kalan (FB/R) gets the ball, this seems to be a run over the center, Darren Burns (MLB) goes for the blitz, there is no Defense Line after the block, and gets tackled by Brad Burger (SS/C), forward progress: 9 yards (Shotgun 4 WR vs. 3-3-5) more
1:59 Enzo Sperotto (K) kicks the ball for the field goal, 49 yard field goal missed

The call of playbook that was activated is :
Quarter OT
Down any
to go any
Distance GL <35
Score any
Clock 0:30
Offense formation Flexbone
Playtype fieldgoal
Playdirection all directions

It is clear to me that 1:59 is more than 0:30, so why the fieldgoal formation was called ?
Before issuing a bug claim, I'd like to have some expert advice.

I see that my playbook call has to be changed, because 0:30 is the very beginning of OT.
If I want to try a field.goal in the last seconds of OT, but the question is : how ?

P.S : Edited for missing information

"In overtime the clock settings in the offensive playbook are ignored!" Manual words in 'playbook'.

I belive that happens cause the OT ends only when someone score and win.

My sugestion is to forget about time and put a call on a fieldgoal with GL<35 only on the 4th down. And another one with a call for fieldgoal to GL<25 or 30 (depends of your kicker) at any down.
