Bug: When challenging a play online, connection gets lost.
Location: Online
Priority: Medium
Version: PS3
Skill Level (if applicable): All Pro

Doesn't matter if the player has won the challenge or not. This has happened when my opponent has challenged me 2 out of 2 times. Two different opponents. First one lost his challenge (and I thought he got sore and quit, but he was winning the game!) and the 2nd one won his challenge (or it looked like he did; was kicked offline before we could find out).

Bug: Online Game connection drops after a TD is scored (servers show no record, users do not get W-L). Has happened at least 5 times so far to me.
Location: Online Mode, In-Game (both ranked and unranked games)
Priority: Very High
Version: X360 Regular Version

Bug: Occasionally when trying to view game highlights/replays after online games, in instant replay mode, screen is completely white. May be related to domed stadiums.
Location: Online Mode, Post-Game
Priority: Medium-Low

Bug: Occasionally, flipped defensive plays result in faulty pre-snap alignment/motion. Ex. Flipped Cover 3 zone results in a CB moving in all the way to the hashmark and leave a WR out wide uncovered.

[GQman2121]

Bug: Game freezes when loading user profile
Location: My Madden - Load/Delete
Priority: Medium
Version: PS3
Skill Level (if applicable): Pro / No Madden IQ

- After editing and saving my audibles I wanted to test them out in the practice mode. They were not showing up on the practice field, so I checked that they were still in place and attempted to reload my profile where they were saved. Each time (3) the game would freeze and I would have to bring up the XMB to quit the game.

Bug: Field Goals hitting the up rights and landing wide are counted as good.
Location: In-Game & Online
Priority: High
Version: PS3
Skill Level (if applicable): Pro / No Madden IQ

- Happened vs the cpu and in a 2 player game.

Bug: Play challenged when no challenge was selected
Location: In-Game
Priority: High
Version: PS3
Skill Level (if applicable):

- I recovered a fumble that the cpu gave up. After selecting my play and having my offensive break the huddle, the game popped up the challenge screen saying that I was challenging their fumble. Needless to say the play was reversed giving the ball back to the CPU.

I went back and looked at the replay and it definitely was a close call, but not a fumble. So the refs got the call right after the challenge, only the cpu should have been the one to initiate it.
