Power Play Goal Does Not End Penalty – Be a Pro Mode Bug

Platform: PS5

Game Mode: Be a Pro

Bug Type: Gameplay / Rule Logic

Priority: High (game-breaking for career mode)

In Be a Pro mode, when my team scores a power-play goal, the game does not reset the teams to even strength (5-on-5) as it should per NHL rules.

Instead, the team remains on the power play indefinitely, or the opposing team remains short-handed longer than their penalty length. This can lead to:

• Extended or infinite special teams situations
• Multiple consecutive penalties stacking incorrectly
• Permanent 5-on-4 or 4-on-4 gameplay even after goals are scored
• Broken line changes and coach strategies

This happens both when I’m on the ice and off the ice, making gameplay progression inconsistent and unrealistic.
