Randy Moss plays CB and WR!!!

That a very astute observation and makes total sense. In years past there would be no down side to this happening, but this year with all the defensive ratings actually having functionality I would expect Moss to play like garbage on D in any situation except maybe a Hail Mary play.

Edit: Dookie and I are sharing the same wavelength.

That's probably correct. May have to go into that specific formation to see if Moss is put in on that formation. I believe you can still set specific people for specific formations correct? I'm at work and don't have the game in front of me.

Kinda odd that they would include that in a Play Now game though.

The same thing would happen in Ncaa, usually due to fatigue. I just adjusted my depth chart to make sure my wr's were far down the list for cb's and it solved the problem. Don't know if this is the case with madden.

Guys I was only on my second drive of the game and they had 8 men in the box and 2 CBs and 1 safety shading the WR on the left side. I had man to man with Moss on the other side. So he would have to be either the 1st or 2nd CB on the depth chart to be in on that play. But when I checked he was 10th or 11th. I dont think fatigue is going to cause 10 guys to come out in the secondary when we are about 3 minutes into the game. I'm not one to look for and find bugs, I'd rather just pretend they aren't really there but this was so in your face.

It is a bug... every team has a player that does it... I played against the Falcons and apparently Cedric Houston wanted to play offense and defense against his former team.
