I was nearing my goal line , getting ready to score, when my fullback fumbled. When the guy who recovered was immediately tackled there was a face mask penalty (supposed to be 15 yards), which my opponent accepted. But it end up being alot more then 15-yards. Check out the screenshot. (the replay was not available or else I would of uploaded it) As you can see, the game was pretty close, and stuff like this can decide a game.

this glitch happened to my friend when we were playing online except it was lik 95 yard penalty.

Player evals for NCAA draft classes, salaries, CPU Draft selections, etc. START OVER GUYS!

I just drafted a rb number one and his salary was 77mil with 24mil guaranteed.

Ghost wide receivers all over the shop. The ball just sails through the body as if the Wide Receiver wasn't there.

That, along with players running out of boundsm, are really, really shameful glitches from a company that's been making these games 20 years

What is the workaround for the playcall freeze? I've heard that training players induces it, and I've also heard to not skip cutscenes quickly. I'd rather not hard reset my new PS3, since it probably isn't good for it.

I've had several glitches on the PS3 version:

I haven't seen this one here yet though and I don't know if anyone else has had this happen either, but...

In the first year of a franchise mode you resign players to a 1 year contract so that they become free agents the next season, but the cap still reflects their entire salery. I'm not talking about cap penalties as there wouldn't be any in this instance, I didn't release them simply resigned them to shorter deals which they agreed on. I'm in year two now, have 30 players on my team and have a cap of over 120 mill. Again no cap penalties, no player releases that had bonuses, not even a player trade, even though this wouldn't result in cap problems any how... I just can't clear cap...

1. Timeouts: I've had at least eight games where I could not call a timeout when I had 1 or 2 left. I have lost games in franchise, online, ranked & unranked because of this.

2. Challenges: I have had at least five instances when they get the call right but the result is the same. Or they just don't make the right call...and I mean easy ones too. Clear fumbles, OOBs, catches, etc...

The buttons don't register, so I have to reset the system. This is the last game of pre-season. I simmed to the first game of the season and tried it again, same thing happened. WTF is going on?

That same think happened to me, but it happened before my first preseason game in the second year of my franchise. But only the quarterback challenge made it do that on mine, every other training exercise worked though. I just did training for other positions instead of QB that week, and the next week it worked fine.

I haven't seen anything like this mentioned yet, but earlier I was playing a game as the Bears vs the CPU as the Packers. I punted the ball out of bounds at the packers 3 yrd line. The next play I decidied to send my lbs on a blitz. On that play Lance Briggs hit Rodgers in the endzone and Rodgers fumbled the ball and Tommy Harris recovered it for me in the endzone. Now this is where it gets screwy, cause the CPU challeneged the fumble. The review happens and the fumble is overturned. But instead of it being a saftey and making them punt the ball back, it gives the Packers the ball on thier 20 and a first and ten, like it was touchback. Im playing on the PS3, on myskill level, and it was a franchise game if any of that matters.
