Bizarre Game-Ending Tactic Exploit

I haven't seen any mention of this on the forums, so I'm claiming it as a new exploit. It's a very serious bug- If you don't want to know how to effectively end any match at any time (eg. as soon as you take the lead) then I'd recommend you stop reading right now.

I'm playing unpatched so apologies if this has been patched already.

As you can see in the following screenshot, my team (MV Croatia) scored in the 69th minute to put us in the lead, so I applied the exploit and we're still waiting for the kickoff after the 80th minute. The game did not (and cannot) restart:

In the next game I was happy to hold on to my 7-2 lead after the first leg, so I applied the exploit early. Here's the match stats (note that the other team appears to have had the ball at the 12th minute when I made the match stop, hence the 97% possession):

And last of all, here's how to do it. Your tactics shouldn't matter (though I do recommend Complete Dominance 10.2 because it's fantastic):

That's it. Just move your keeper out of goals. The game seems to think that it cannot continue unless each team has a goalkeeper, so after the ball goes out and the tactics are updated, the game cannot restart... though the clock keeps ticking!

Occasionally the tactical changes are rejected because your assistant will inform you that don't have a GK on the pitch. If this happens, simply substitute the GK for an outfield player on the bench.

I hope this has been fixed for 11.1.1 and if so let me know and I will finally have a good reason to download the patch! If not, I still of course don't recommend this because it's a dirty exploit, but it is 100% effective...

this should be in the bug section, and it may have been patched already, have you looked for this with the patch?

Even if it isnt fixed you dont have to use it to exploit (cheat) if you dont want lol

for me it never works i tried it when somone brought it up ages ago. i just get a message saying i must field a goalkeeper. ah just re-read your post yeah this was patched as far as i am aware.

I've tried putting my keeper out of position before, irrelated to this so called bug, and i'm not allowed to do so...

Why would you want to? How is the game any fun when you do this?

Cool. Going to try this out

Why would you want to? How is the game any fun when you do this?

I suppose you would use it if you can't handle losing and want to win all of the time.

Errr why don't you install the patch? As far as i know this has been fixed. Surely it's more effort to construct this post with the screenshots rather than just install the patch?

If your talking to me, i just tried it out of curiosity because i needed a goal in the last few minutes. Not related to the exploit.

I think someone mentioned that this is a known bug and was already patched in the 11.1.1 patch.

^^^ whs ^^^

You cannot move the 'keeper out of position because each team is required by the laws to have one person designated as a 'keeper. How your 'keeper plays is, of course, dependent upon the tactical instructions you give to him.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but I'm pretty sure this was posted the first day the demo came out and was fixed by 11.1.0
