There is an option in the pause menu to challenge on the 360 version. I've done it several times.

What sucks about the 360 version is that when you try to challenge a call, most of the time it won't let you because of the automatic replay system. Pressing the A button repeatedly usually doesn't bypass the replay system because it comes so quick.

I've never challenged anything. The CPU challenged me once, and lost.

can't do that on 360 :| you get a message that says you have to challenge from playcalling screen. And before it gets to the screen it shows the damn replays and there it no option to turn it off. :| I have only been able to challenge like 2 since I got the game because of replay screen.

Yup, they messed this up. It is even worse because the 'you can't challenge' message states that 'challange is not available when Replay has been accessed from the Pause menu,' when it wasn't. I think the 'no review if you access Instant Replay' is dumn in itself, but this issue is even worse.

even in real life the coaches can look up and see a big screen with the replay before they challenge, if the other team doesnt hurry up,(not his fault it was just put in front of him like the game does to us) but it does get old that you cant challenge when that happens.

I finally got one overturned it was a non-catch catch....usually the computer stands by their decision but I was proud because he clearly steped out of bounds....there were other times I challenged a catch out of bounds but they weren't overturned but were still clearly out of bounds.
