Challenge System needs serious overhaul

[bigsmallwood]

The Challenge system has cost me a couple of games and numerous other things within the game. They do not allow for you to choose for what you want to challenge and somehow the CPU never seems to Challenge the right thing! EA is cheating us with this...smh It is not hard to implement....C'mon!

The challenge system needs to be eliminated. It's a computer game. The computer doesn't make mistakes. Either something happens, or it doesn't. 1's and 0's. What sense does it make to introduce a system where you're actually designing unfairness or error to be put into the game when, at its worst, it screws the player and, at its best, only screws the player some of the time?

Never made any sense to me.

the challenge system in this game is a disgrace and completely pointless.
so many issues:
-plays that you should be able to challenge but can't.
-plays that are clearly wrong(receivers out of bounds) don't get overturned.
-not being able to choose your challenge(spot,fumble..)
why bother doing it if you are not going to do it right...again??

my guess...EA made it like this(bare bones) on purpose to go along with it's new"simpler,quicker" motto(deeper need not apply).

like chitown said it either screws the player or screws the player sometime.

Down by contact should be instituted in this game. Its senseless having to challenge every single fumble.

The computer can, as a matter of fact, never get it wrong.

I think you should step back and think a little more deeply, madden is a football game that simulates human behavior, including referees that make mistakes on calls.
