Penalty issue in v1.088

Post by Lucas718 »

Not sure if this is really a penalty issue or what, but here's the scenario...

After installing the beta patch, I started up a US game and all was well for a while.

I was using the mouse as the controller, and on 4th down I accidentally selected standard formation instead of punt formation. I could not go back to select punt formation, so I thought I would just let the clock run down and take a delay of game penalty.

After the clock ran out, there was a change of possession and I was now on defense. It should have still been 4th down.

Penalties still have a problem for sure. But they are better than before the patch.

I'm glad we have an expert here! Man, we were so lost!

Thank you for the report, Lucas. This is a known issue with the beta build.
