Not allowing to take a timeout at all just makes zero sense. A well timed timeout just before full bar (for example goalie gets the puck and freezes it) is just as good of a tactic as taking it on full bar and has no bug involved🤷‍♂️ oh well, let's hope they somehow fix it tomorrow (lol)

The Timeouts have been tactical anyways in the past? I think a good solution on Elite Level would be to allow teams to agree via SG Messages while scheduling the Matchday how to handle this. For example if both Captains agree in the SG Messages that Timeouts in the Matchup are allowed except during pressure situations this would help a lot. But that's just my 2 cents.

I think this rule needs some clarification. Does this mean that it is not allowed to take a break (press START) and then in a next step take a timeout (these are 2 different steps in my opinion) or is it already forbidden to press START. Because I can remember a lot of situations where it could be useful to just take a break even without a timeout (freezing players, network issues, goalie controls that were automatically resetted). But then it will probably often not be possible for the opponent to recognize if a timeout was taken in the break or not. Thanks for clarification
