Overtime

In overtime when time is winding down, offense is moving down the field but unfortunately didn't use our timeouts to utilize the clock. In regular game time we use timeouts appropriately. Anyone else see that happen? If so I'm assuming I should of set up my rules for OT? Appreciate any feedback.

Oh, I see what happened and where you're coming from. You were 1 play short of kicking the field goal as time elapsed.

I also can guess what the sim engine was up to. You were backed up by your end zone, the sim engine calculated it wasn't worth the risk of more plays and didn't fire off your time-outs. I believe where I picked it up there was a run or two. I think it was in hibernation/protection mode playing for the tie and not to lose the game via turnover.

Oh ok. So if I were further down field when I started my drive it would of use timeouts? That makes sense. Thanks!

You're welcome. nods I do believe so. Definitely. It does glitch on usage of timeouts. I've seen it happen a few times but, yeah, I think it started off by protecting you in not calling them.
