I think the way 2k handled it was more than adequate. Have a series of options of what can be challenged and select it.

There's just a lack of details in Madden. Even the way the refs announce the penalties and challenge results lacks the details it has in real life. I'd like to see that change as well, but it's whatever, just get the thing functioning. It's a key part of the game that has been neglected for far too long.

What is broken about it?

It doesn't work, lol. You can't challenge certain things in certain situations. Also sometimes it challenges the wrong thing, and if you actually can challenge, the call can be clear and you still lose. I've also had situations where I've won the challenge and didn't receive the proper result.

I think most people are just confused by the new rules in the NFL. You can't challenge turnovers or scoring plays anymore. Those are reviewed automatically.

Seriously, I have not had issues with the game's replays. On the very rare occasion that I am not given an option, I just assume my booth guy called down and told me not to challenge. Because ion the game won't give you an option, then you were going to lose anyway.

I'm not confused, lol. It's broken man. Maybe you haven't noticed, but I've had drives and big plays ruined because of this broken system. Receivers have clearly gotten one foot in and they've still called it a catch. I've wanted to challenge whether there was an incomplete pass or a fumble on the play, nope. They've challenged the spot of the ball when I've wanted them to challenge something else. Also I've called for them to challenge the spot of the ball, have won the challenge, and still had it be 4th down,lol. I'm all for trying to add human error in a game, or sticking with the call on the field, but these things have consistently happened.

It's all good man some people enjoy what they enjoy and don't notice the problems, but it's been messed up for a long time.

Nah, man. I've had instances in which my WRs feet are clearly in bounds, it's called incomplete, and I'm unable to challenge. Or I can, and it's still in complete.

Yeah the challenge mechanics are quite easily far behind anything else in the game. Not sure they've significantly changed since they were first introduced on the... PS2?

Sounds promising. I like the run game improvements. I shouldn't have to watch Darren Sproles get hit in the backfield with both Luke Kuechly and Star Lotulelei just to get away 2 seconds later and pick up 10 yards.
