I just ran into another glitch that they need to take care of, next release.

Tie game in 4th quarter with only 45 seconds left, and I have 3rd and goal. My opponent has no timeouts left, and I have all 3.

What do you do? Either just kneel to waste the 40 seconds or just run up the middle and kick the FG with virtually no time left.

I end up running a play up the middle, and all of a sudden I see one of his LB's limping off the field with an injury. It was a FREE TIMEOUT for him, when he had no timeouts to take. It did not even flag him for an penalty yardage.

I kicked the FG with 40 seconds left, and he had an additional chance to win the ball game. Luckily he still lost, but I would have been pissed if I gave up a bomb, or got flagged for DEF pass interfernce.

EDIT : I know my opponent had no control of purposely getting injured on that play.

if its a valid injury and he has no timeouts then as long as the guy thats injured comes out he gets to stop the clock no glitch. Please stp saying everything is a glitch thats how the nfl works.

I just read the NFL rule book, and it states that the officials will allow a 4th timeout to a team if there is an injured player on the field.

That player must be removed immediately. I was mistaken, because on the 5th Timeout, not 4th, there is a 5 yard penalty if the clock was running.

Also, 10 seconds will be run off the clock before the ball is snapped again. This is the part of the game where it is not inline with NFL rules.

I guess nothing is perfect.
