Issues With Lag When Calling Defensive Plays Versus CPU No Huddle

[TeamHawkins]

It's not about if it is the case, it IS the case. I just explained it to you. PS3 when someone is running the silly no huddle every play, as soon as the play ends and they are about to run up to the line instantly call timeout, the screen jumps, and they HAVE to take a 5 yard penalty as it freezes them out of choosing a play. If you pause the screen before they get to the line, it freezes at the pause screen menu.

So basically each player has six 5 yard penalties to enforce during the game on the other.

i just find it impossible to believe that these guys at EA don't know this stuff exists weeks before the game goes live and at least have a patch ready day one to fix this.

You don't have to go very deep to see this no huddle issues/grey facemask. Not to mention they existed in the demo as well.

I think this the same thing as in this thread. I was leading by 10 with about 3 mins left so the CPU went no huddle. When they got to the line the ball was snapped immediately, and I didn't get get to call a defensive play. Then the play selection box randomly popped up while the ball was in the air. After that happened everything in the game was slow as could be. Even in no hurry up offense by the CPU or when I got back on offense it just stuttered and ran in slow motion. It kinda took the fun out of beating the #5 team in the country. I saved and turned it off after I exited the game. Hoping it was just a glitch and isn't permanent. Does this happen a lot?

Is anyone having custom offensive playbook issues? Mine glitches up so no-huddle doesnt work and I can't even use the formation i just ended the play with. Who do I talk to to get this problem fixed?

No one has mentioned the fact that you also can't switch defenders or even move the selected player before the play call dialog box pops up. So if you started the previous play as a S or CB and the formation changes, you have a key defender guarding no one.

I have found that if the other team is running no huddle, pausing for about 10 seconds then resuming brings up the play call box about 50% of the time.

i've been outta town a few days, has this issue been at least acknowledged by EA on twitter or their forums?

Haha. 99% of their tweets are just RTs of people blowing smoke about how great the game is. Nevermind that my team has a grey facemask on the game. But, hey, #PlayTrue to your team, right?

Yeah I posted about this in the Bugs thread as well. Hopefully there is a fix coming as it is very frustrating to have to try to call a play as quickly as possible once the screen finally comes up.

I have found, at times, repeatedly tapping X (PS3) after the play the screen will come up quicker. So now I just do this and it has reduced the frequency of me not being able to call a play at all.
