Perpetual penalty kill bug

Konstantinov · 04-17-2013, 08:32 PM

Playing an NHL game today and I've encountered previously a bug where the penalty kill clock will freeze at 1 second and I will not get back to even strength.

This bug will last as long as the time ran out on the penalty to usually the next period, although I have not kept track of when a new period starts whether or not I was back to even strength. I'm theorizing that it may only happen in the 3rd period, but not entirely sure yet.

It happened today and the PK timer was stuck at 1:11 instead of the usual 1 second. Just thought I'd give a heads up, not sure if anyone else has noticed this bug.

This could explain how my team went 5 for 3 on the power play one game.

Or they exploited a major penalty to great effect - those be some great numbers, bug or not.

Be minorly thankful, as I still can't play past 3 or 4 minutes into a game without it crashing. Simming is fine, but playing doesn't happen.

I played almost an entire game in power play due to Panthers had a player in the penalty box for one everlasting second.

I just had this in my first sim game (yay -Mac version finally out) . Calgary stuck at 0:01 - Helped with the shots I guess - looks like it was the penalty in the 2nd period in the second photo
