This concerns EHM 1 Version 1.3
Has anyone who :
1- Sim using enhanced simulation (NHL)
2- Coach games yourself set to NO
3- Use current tactics set to NO
experienced or can verify if your backup goalie is getting approx. 1 to 3 minutes of ice time in about 75% of the games they don't start ? In my previous two full season sims, my backup got ice-time in some 60 of the 82 games. The same thing happens if I put my backup as a starter, #1 goalie gets some minutes of ice-time as a backup too in those game. Looking in the games boxscore, I was never able to find one where the backup was receiving shots. So I didn't know if it was just a visual bug with the numbers or if the goalie was actually put in the game. But I found one where the backup got 1 shot and 1 save.
Anyone ?

Re: Backup Goalie Ice-time bug
Hi kev90 - I suspect you're KoKid90 from the SI EHM Forums; as I said there...
Might be worth posting at TBL, see if others are experiencing the same "weirdness"
I've been running tests round-the-clock since a few days before TBL's 2016-17 database came out (where I'm not a GM for any team), and just stopped the current test and took a look through a dozen NHL teams and everything looks fine; I clicked on Standings, then clicked on a Team which brings up their Roster, then I clicked on each Goaltender and then on Game Log so I could see their TOI and except for on occasion goaltenders being replaced when you'd expect them to everything made sense & I also went through a half dozen teams via Player Statistics (filtered for just Goaltenders) and looked at GP and TOI and again everything seemed to make sense

Re: Backup Goalie Ice-time bug
This happens non-stop. And yes the goalie does actually get game time, I've had my backup come in and allow 1 goal in 1-2 shots losing us important games with use current tactics/lineup/roster set to yes and only "coach games yourself" set to NO. This has been a thing since around 1.2 as far as I can remember. Sometimes your backup will even be credited with the win over your starter as far as I can tell. Because my backup goalie tends to have more wins in a season than he has legitimate starts. Or they both get the win, which would be weird.
These are all the screenshots I have of it happening, including losing me regular season and playoff games alike, it's been around since August last year at the very least:
I could have about 1000 of these, but I just stopped caring about it except when it causes playoff goals and losses. I had it happen at least three times last playoff alone, but it didn't cause any goals. Bam_Margera posted about it on the SI forums the 4th of August last year (so 1 day after my first screenshot), I also added a screenshot to the thread, but no Riz response and no fix as of yet.
