Issues With Lag When Calling Defensive Plays Versus CPU No Huddle

[hawkeyefan95]

I've had a problem with this on both sides of the ball. It's just stunning that this is in here at launch. I don't get how EA can let an issue as obvious and potentially game ruining glitch in. Hopefully they can patch this!

Screen comes up maybe a second or two before the ball is snapped. 3. If you switch from a zone to man or vice verse, the players are out of position. 4. Screen sometimes come up in the middle of play. 5. Essentially eliminating the defense from the game, judging from some of the threads it probably won't matter anyway but I would like to try.

if this is a frame rate issue, do you think it's fixable?

not sure if its a frame rate issue, that's another problem that needs to be addressed

I like it, to me it simulates defending/running the no huddle. On offense you typically dont hear the call until your lined up. On defense you typically run a base with specific assignments from game planning.

I know most of you will disagree, but I love it and I'm on ps3. No I'm not a fanboy I skipped last years game. I honestly do think it was done this way on purpose. I could be wrong, but thats just my opinion

You could be wrong, and....well, you are wrong. lol

It's not done that way on 360. It pops up just as it should. This is a PS3 problem.

Rest assured, the cpu when on defense when you run the no huddle will have time to pick their play.

Also, your theory does not account for the CPU snapping the ball and your playcall screen is way late popping up during the play and now you can't see whats going on, nor can you control ur player.

Just another example of PS3 getting the shaft

Well here is extra to the PS3 No-Huddle glitch. ANOTHER GLITCH on top of this glitch!

Playing some nerd online who I catch in a bad defense, so I went no-huddle. This in the 1st quarter. He calls timeout. The play skips framerate, and freezes, causing me to have to take a 5 yard penalty. I was heated. But I didn't think anymore of it until...

3rd quarter, he consistently runs no-huddle all game, and I finally get sick of it and call a timeout. BAM! He has to take a penalty! So now I'm noticing it along with him yelling racist slurs at me over the mic all of a sudden, as well as he forgets the fact HE got me a penalty early in the game. So now since I get called racist names, I tell him if you run no huddle again you're getting a penalty.

Sure enough he does it, and I use BOTH timeouts and he gets a penalty, one of which he end up throwing a int for a TD the following play. So now we're in the 4th, and he calls a timeout on me as I'm driving and caught him in a bad defense again. But I pause the game in hopes it counters the glitch, but instead it freezes the game at the pause menu screen!

So you have 6 timeouts to stop no-huddles and force a 5 yard penalty and if they use it on you, pause the game and it freezes BOTH of you out. Unreal.

I didn't even think about the implications of this for online play - I was only thinking about vs. CPU.

If this affects user vs. user as well, they will HAVE to patch this.

Yea, multiplayer is officially nuked if this is the case.
