It is highly unlikely that systematic fouling has begun with 3 minutes to the end in a 3-point game. So it's either that these were normal fouls in the course of the game, or you ran into a bug in the system.

i see this game again.1 minute and 30second to the end,i was under of 3 points,he was wrong a shot,take en offensive rebound and started systematic foul(4 second between rebound and foul).I think this is certainly not a bug,but in this situation systematic foul was a without-sense choice,because in this way i granted two free throw to the adversary,when if i had defended well on the next action,i would have had the ball in the end for the draw with one minute on the clock.
So,I think it was not a bug,but that the system of sistematic fouls,for a game engine choice,started too soon.The game engine,in that situation,would not have had to make foul,because I could recover the result of the match.If he have made the basket,and after the GE started to make systematic fouls and very fast shot,i would have agreed.But I think that in similar sitautions,nowadays GE make bad choices as in the mine match,so this aspect had to be changed

I've never really seen this happen. You might want to post the problematic games in the Bugs forum, describing the situation.

edit: As far as the game in the first post is concerned, after reviewing it I don't see any systematic fouling until there are 40 or so seconds left in the game, and it's a 7 point game at that point.

Sure, there are a couple of unlucky fouls before that, but there is certainly no "hack-a-shaq" going on with 3 minutes in the game.
