Players don't go to the penalty box!

I don't think I ever posted this here, but when playing in 2D mode, if you toggle on 'manual line changes' players don't go to the box when penalized. Instead they head straight to their own bench. Then when you turn off manual line changes, everything works fine as players go straight to the box after taking a penalty.

Just thought you should know, as I'd really like to see this fixed in v9. Thanks for reading!

We'll have a look at that, thanks.

Thanks Jeff, and here's some video evidence of what I was talking about. Vancouver's on the powerplay and If you watch the St. Louis bench, you'll see their player make a mad dash to the penalty box while play is ongoing. (It's like the game suddenly realizes he's supposed to be in there).

A split second later, Vancouver scores and the same player comes out of the box. I tested it both ways and from what I've seen, it only happens when manual line changes are on.
