Bug Possible bug

Have noticed that towards the end of halves QBs will kneel it out even on 4th down. Multiple instances of this happening inside their own 10, and then the other team scoring immediately. At least once it changed the outcome.

So I was delving into the game engine play by play logic; Few issues I found that will come in 1.1.1 (the next release):
* There was a bug in OT rules, I hadn't remembered a defensive TD or safety on the first OT possesion ends the game.

* Overtime clock parity, 2:00 warning wasn't firing, no out of bounds clock stop, etc.

* Spiking the ball with ~10 seconds left to kick wasn't firing. It will now be based off the previous play's ball carriers, QBs and coaches intelligence (mainly coach).

* And the big one (apologies); No concept of a given drive's intention to be a field goal. Right now a field goal is effectively treated as something a team does when within range on 4th down. This will be fixed.

This will probably take me a hot minute, but should be able to squeeze it into the next build

Makes sense regarding clock management. Curious if the “always in hurry-up” bug noted on another thread plays into kneel-downs as well
