o-rly?... Come on EA, I'm not mad just get it right

I'm not b**ching, I'm trying to help bring to light something that I don't see talked a lot about.

This happens to me on average once a game. Always against me, never for me.

Was called incomplete on the field, went to review because it was within two minutes of the half, and it was overturned to a catch and first down. The ball is still a full three or four feet away from him and his foot is already halfway out of bounds. Clearly clearly clearly this is NOT a reception, it's barely even questionable enough to go to review.

And before you say maybe his foot wasn't on the ground yet, it was, I looked from all angles and it was.

It's all about awareness and this game lacks it. So I dont throw the ball toward the sideline because of this. Hopefully they fix this for 12 so players are aware of the sidelines.

I'm not even talking about this from the player's perspective.. I'm saying why the hell was it called a catch from the review booth's perspective?

I guess that the official was blind lol. You'll get away with a few things here and there. The computer usually gets 1 catch a game like that against me.

i have had this kinda catch happen against me as well with the foot being out and called a catch thats why they need put more options on what to challenge for instead of just did the wr rb etc catch the ball they should have a challenge for was his foot in or knee down or did they control ball etc.

The issue is, why does anyone have to "get away" with anything? This is a videogame. Not real life. How is it possible that the game does not know its own boundaries?

Someone's loop might need modifying. I think this is an example of what is commonly known as a runtime error.

The challenge system needs fixing.

Although, it does appear the booth has wrong calls during your teams games a few times a year too.

one of the many issues this game has been dealing with for years.

...at this point i doubt it will ever be fixed.
