Should a punt count if there is a penalty?

Today i punted in a game (vs. CPU), but in the stats it said i had "0" punts...on the one punt i had, i accidently bowled over the player trying to make a fair catch. So there was a 15 yard penalty, and the ref says "repeat 4th down" ??? But the next play the CPU has the ball and it's FIRST down, not 4th, so there was no re-kick...my question is what should really happen in this situation, and why isn't the punt recorded in my stats?

Re: Should a punt count if there is a penalty?

A penalty occurring during a punt and not recording the punt has been an issue since Madden 2001 at the very least. I have vivid memories of stats not counting when penalties occurred. There was a time a few years ago when even INTs weren't counted when there was holding on the run back or something.

And don't get me started on having a possession on the 17 yard line, and getting sacked to move back to the 23 and have that count against you as an 0 for 1 in the redzone.

The down should NOT be replayed. The ref says repeat 4th down in error, but the play is called and ball spotted correctly.

1) The ball should be marked 15 yards from the spot of the foul.
2) It should be 1st down receiving team.

As far as the stats not being recorded... That's an error too. The punter should be credited for a punt attempt and the full distance of the kick. The penalty should be charged to penalty yardage.
