After the latest patch, I challenged a catch whereas the CPU receiver was clearly out of bounds. I lost the challenge and was locked out of the playcall screen. Thankfully, I did not lose my kicking meter as I had in the past and my playcall was autopicked. However, I was on defense obviously.
Any update that addresses "stability issues" always has me concerned, since I had lost kicking meter and could not pause game during a timeout without being locked from playcall screen a few patches ago. This latest patch did list that online stability issues were addressed, yet I have had these affect offline experience.
My suggestion would be the next time you challenge a play, DO NOT SKIP the cut scene. Let it play out. Hopefully, your kick meter returns. Good luck mate.
