Bug: Draft day trade without asking
Location: In-Game, franchise mode, during draft
Priority: High
Version: X360 standard

I was simmed to the draft. I made NO trades what so ever. My team was picking #13. After my pick, I selected to sim to my next pick, and I was picking at #22 again, I lost my 2nd and 3rd round picks. The pick was traded without my knowledge what so ever. Mind you, the settings were all set to "user", not "cpu".

Bug: Poor clock managment
Location: Near the end of the game... duh.
Priority: Sorta high
Version: X360 standard

Nearing the end of my first and only game so far, I was down 3 with less than 2 minutes to go and the CPU could have killed the clock to get the win. Well they ran the ball on first and second down but both times the computer ran out of bounds essentially avoiding contact on the field similar to how a QB would when scrambling out of bounds. On third down they passed towards the sideline and I knocked their player out of bounds. So the clock stopped after each play giving me a chance to win the game.

Which leads me to my next bug.

Bug: "Suction coverage???"
Location: Last play of the game
Priority: low
Version: X360 standard

On the final play of the game I ran a shotgun play that sent the Texans' Andre Davis long and across the field. He had the defender beat and I threw what looked to be a good pass and when I took control of Davis to make the catch he almost immedately sucked in towards the opposing CB and I got a bit of vabration signaling I made contact. I thought it was odd and looked at the replay and right around the time I took control of David sure enough he moved right toward the CB... this very well could have been my error but I usually know it was my fault right when it happens so this one was a bit odd.
