Found a slight Bug with Safties...
Posted: Tue Mar 21, 2006 11:50 pm
David, I was playing a Quick Play game with a Custom League using Indoor Rules and using Patch 1.0101. the only variations I had compared to defualt Indoor Rules is that I used 10 Minute Quarters with a 30 second play clock.
The problem occured on a 1st Down and 10 on CPU's own 1 yardline (I was playing the Defense). The CPU calls a Pass play (can't remember exactly what play it was, but it was one of the plays where the QB drops back at an angle instead of straight back), the QB moves into his own Endzone but is hit by a Defensive Linemen. When the QB is hit by the DL, the game indicates a Fumble occurs and there is a dash to recover the ball. I can't remember who recovered the ball, but it was one of the CPU Team players who then tries to run the ball out of his own endzone. Unfortunetly for him, he can't get out of the endzone, which I thought would result in a Safty. But I was surpised to see that the game did not count a Safty but instead says that this guy Runs the ball for 0 yards and the CPU team gets the ball again on the 1 yard line 2nd down (can't remember if it was 2nd and 9 or 2nd and 10 after that point). Anyway, no safty was awarded to my team tackling the guy in the endzone.
On another note, I was able to get a Safty in the next play after this bug occured, but there might be a bug in the Indoor Rules on where a Kickoff occurs after a Safty. The game made the CPU team Kickoff on its own 5 yard line instead of its own Goal line. And to the best of my knowlege, I think all Indoor (even Arena) leagues have a Kickoff at the Goalline after a Safty.
P.S. I have not had this situation occur with US Rules, but its possible the same bug could be there aswell. I will keep an eye on it when I play US Rules.
Just thought I would let you know about this David.
