Summarize your bug End of Half Bug; Skips Halftime Sequence
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1) Every time I kick a field goal to end the half (e.g. 3 secs left on clock), I sim next play (on slow) for CPU to kick. Game will automatically advance to 3rd quarter after kick. 2) Closed out the clock with a last sec int in the end zone to close out first half and game advanced to 3rd quarter with opposing team with the ball on the 20 yard line. No kick-off or anything to start 3rd quarter.

What do you expect to see? I would expect to see the halftime show followed up with kickoff to start the 3rd quarter.

  • Attached is my example (kicking a FG to expire the half is one a can reproduce every time). It seems that if a play continues past the clock reaching :00 in the 2nd quarter that ends the possession for the User team, the half will end with the conclusion of the play to the CPU team at start of 3rd quarter (e.g. 1. kick-off to CPU team no matter if User team has ball in second half... or 2. on turnover, CPU team gets ball at the spot the ball was turned over at start of 3rd quarter. No kickoff happens.)
