Anyone else seeing this stuff?

[slingblade73]

Josh Morgan was called out of bounds and he had three steps in bounds on a TD. This is broken and is a big issue. Hell we need all our TD's. Back in the case and I may not buy Madden again. I have bought this game since it came out.

Now that's just silly...Refs make stupid calls all the time, even with being able to review. If NFL players had the same mentality as you and going "Back in the case" then we wouldn't have football.

Re: Anyone else seeing this stuff?

yep I had a game last night where a guy had 2 possibly 3 feet in and it was called incomplete. I challenged and it was reversed. TBH madden is just kinda ****ty when it comes to inbounds or not

Never in all my years have I seen anyone with three feet down not have a catch ruled a TD. You missed the point.

Re: Anyone else seeing this stuff?

My first game after downloading the new patch. I was playing against the CPU and they complete a pass out the back of the endzone. Both of the receiver's feet were clearly on the white line when he came down with it. It shows the cutscene of the refs running toward each other and declaring it a catch (not the one where they deliberate over whether or not it was a touchdown). Despite ruling it a completion, the ball was placed back at the original line of scrimmage with a loss of down, but it was still quite annoying. I wonder how that was reflected on the stat sheet.

Yep, I was in a party with my friend. We had both just started franchises now with the new patch. In my first game with the Seahawks against the Rams, Steven Jackson was called out of bounds on a pass. I was shocked, wen into replay. He literally had take 5 steps before going out of bounds with the ball. 5 steps!!! I told my friend and he laughed(he's a Rams fan).

Then about 5 minutes later I hear,"hows that not complete!!?". He then tells me his WR for the Bears(can't remember the name) had 4 steps in and then had the fifth on the line, but it was call incomplete and his challenge didn't change it either.

Yeah happens to me all the time, you can't even challenge the play!

Sure you can. Just hit the Start button to pause play, go to coaching options and select "challenge play". I challenge and win on fumble calls quite often and have won a couple of challenges on out of bounds plays as described by the original poster. Bad calls are a part of football and the fact that the challenge option is built into Madden is a nice feature, IMO. Of course, if you lose, you lose a time out, etc.

Note - sometimes you have to select the next play call before the "challenge play" option shows up in the coaching menu.

Re: Anyone else seeing this stuff?

Actually this has happened to me multiple times. Today I was playing and Calvin Johnson clearly caught the ball in the 3rd quarter and had 3 steps in bounds and the 4th step was out in the back the end zone and it was called out of bounds. I tried challenging the play but I could not. i even picked a play called and called time out to see if it challenge was there but it never showed. I had not challenged a play before, not sure what is going on and why the play can not be challenged.
