I couldn't agree more. As an offline gamer, I have never enjoyed the replay system in any video football game. And that includes EA and 2K. Most of the time they are very obvious calls with no suspense to the process, just a waste of time. Not to mention that it creates potential for bugs....either blown calls, or the CPU not challenging obvious blown calls.

In NCAA12, at least once a game a ball carrier would fumble the ball well after being down. Such a waste of time.

I suppose for the head to head crowd, this might be a good feature along with JTS???.....But not in my experience as an offliner.

I wish we could at least turn in off.

You mean they dont in real life? lol

On a serious note, I've had reviews where I'll challenge, wont press anything, and the ESPN logo will pop up and the game cuts right to the ref making the call. Usually in favor of the cpu. It just doesnt give me a replay. Anyone else had this happen?

Lmao they probably do but they only want to give the death sentence if you touch little boys, or pay the players. I have also noticed the booth reviews going to a cut scene of the ref then espn logo then back to the ref with no replay. It's usually a 50/50 chance from what I've noticed. I'm sure they will get right on it lol.

Yeah its insane. 4th down and forever and they catch a pass outta bounds and get the call and even when I challenge it they STILL get it!!! It sucks watching the replay and see the WR blatantly step outta bounds

yeah i've had it happen and then other times I'll see the replay. Its kinda like the player names showing up. Some plays it does and others it doesnt. Just seems very hit and miss

One of the thing that aggravates me the most is that you can't challenge at all in online games against another user. I wouldn't have a problem if they made the right call all the time like they used to. The only problem is that it doesn't change to that in online. They still make wrong calls and you have no option to challenge them and the booth wont review it.

Very annoying and makes me want to chuck my controller when you are in a close game in a ranked match or in a user game in an online dynasty.

I'd like to see late hit out of bounds calls. I see it happen all the time. I know it's just the way the animations go, but it would be neat to see that called, since it gets called in real games.

Yeah, that and also I think roughing the passer needs to be called a bit more. I've had my QB get hit a good amount of time after the pass. Normally I wouldn't care, but it bothers me when it happens late in a game when I need a TD, and I go to the playcall screen and see he's dead tired.
