This is the official list of confirmed issues for UFL And The UFL Manager. Please report new issues in the Bug Reports topic.

2nd Half Kickoff
If you win the coin toss at the start of game, choose to kick to off, and a FG/Safety/TD is scored on the last play of the first half by either team, you will be forced to kick off to start the 3rd quarter even though you kicked off to start the 1st quarter. This also occurs if either team misses a field goal on the last play of the half. The only workaround for this is to be aware of the clock as the 2nd quarter nears its end. If you are in a position where you might score on the last play, decide whether or not the potential score is important enough to warrant losing the 2nd half kickoff. Obviously this only helps in situations where your team possesses the ball.

Conference Championship Home Field Advantage
When 2 teams finish tied for first place in the same division, and then later meet in the conference championship game, home field advantage is not determined properly. The team that was initially awarded the tiebreaker and the division title is not always given home field advantage even though they should hold the tiebreaker as they had won it before. There is no workaround for this issue but this is a rare and specific circumstance.

Extra Game
UFL has a bug that will sometimes cause a game to be saved twice to both teams' data files. This causes both teams to be credited with one more win, loss, or tie than they should have received. It is presumed that this extra game would be factored into the playoff seedings, giving unfair advantages and disadvantages to the 2 teams involved. The good news is that this bug is extremely rare. It could happen on your very first game or you could play 60 seasons in a 32-team league and never encounter it a single time. For this reason, it is recommended that you use The UFL Manager's Backup/Restore feature to backup your league data prior to the first game of every season. That way you have a clean backup that you may restore if you encounter this issue. This will require re-playing the season, but that is better than having a league with a tainted season.

Kickoff/Punt Return For Touchdown On Last Play Of Game
If a kickoff or punt is returned for a touchdown on the last play of the game, it is scored and counted twice by the game. There is no workaround for this issue.

Roughing/Running Into The Kicker Penalties
There are too many roughing and running into the kicker penalties on punts and field goals. There is no workaround for this issue.

Safety And Penalty
If the defense commits a penalty on a play in which they made a safety, the safety will be awarded, but the penalty will be disregarded. There is no workaround for this issue.

Two Point Conversion Logging
Two point conversions are not correctly logged in any statistics or records. There is no workaround for this issue.
