Found a glitch last night that could affect league games

So I was playing my online dynasty game against the CPU last when I encountered a glitch that the NDL may want to know about.
I had the ball with about :30 left in the third quarter. I ran the ball up the middle and my HB fumbled but I recovered. At this point there was about :15 left so I just let the clock run down at the playcalling screen. Well, as soon as the game clock hit zero the game did not end the quarter. Instead there was a booth review. They overturned my fumble but of course I recovered it so I still I had the ball.
Once the review ended I was sent back to the playcalling screen with the game clock showing 0:00 but saying I was still in the 3rd quarter. I called about 6 plays AND kicked a field goal thinking a change of possession would end the quarter but it didnt. The only way I found to end the quarter was to hit the sim button (R1) at the playcalling screen and say "advance to next quarter." Although I had no such fumble and time expiration occurence in the 4th quarter, it still did the same 0:00 glitch even though the game was over.
Also, a couple of times during the 3rd quarter glitch the screen would pull back to a stadium view as if the quarter was going to end but the playclock continued to run and there was no playcalling screen. The remedy for this was to pause and then just resume game.
Just a heads up to all you guys. I'm sure this can also happen online in user vs user games and since I don't think you can skip ahead in those I don't know how you'd fix it without restarting. So if you're going to burn the clock, it's best to play it safe and burn it at the LoS.
