This match

this play in overtime:

3:49 2 and 10 to go on opp 49, Sergio Wingfield (OC) snaps the ball to Kelvin Champion (QB), Kelvin Champion (QB) selected Marcelo Larkin (WR/L) as target, the receiver of this outer screen left pass catches the ball, Marcelo Larkin (WR/L) tackled by Christopher Keeton (CB/R), forward progress: 6 yards (Shotgun 2 WR vs. 4-4-3) more
4:06 Casey Furman (K) kicks the ball for the field goal, 60 yard field goal missed

As you can see, I kicked a FG on 3rd and 4 with 4:06 remaining. My FG rules (same for all my PB's except distance varies a little):


2 any any <45 any 0:45 Big I formation fieldgoal only middle edit copy top up down bottom delete deactivate
4 any any <45 any 0:45 Big I formation fieldgoal only middle edit copy top up down bottom delete deactivate
OT any any <45 any 0:45 Big I formation fieldgoal only middle edit copy top up down bottom delete deactivate
any 4 any <35 any any Big I formation fieldgoal only middle edit copy top up down bottom delete deactivate
any 4 any any any any Big I formation punt only middle

The "0:45" time designation was ignored by the game engine. I checked the exact play in PB and it chose the OT line (same as in the game). Why? Bug?

It is mentioned somewhere: Time to end of Quarter does not work for Sudden Death Overtime, since noone can predict when the game ends. Therefore the time-setting is ignored in Overtime. So, this is no bug, but maybe we could havea more clear statement in the manual about it.

ok I lost 2 OT SC games because of it. I should have been aware I guess.

Anyway, thanks for the quick response
