Yeah, in my last CCM game, the CPU had a #00 on defense and I was like WTF, it was just their DT.

Also seen guys on the CPU teams with 00 as well, usually linebackers but this time it was a DT.

Edit: I notice LBs seems to have the most numbering issues - I guess since there are usually quite a few and the DL usually gets 90's along with LBs, so the numbers are used up fast.

Lol, well hell, I don't see anything new that EA can add from these new rules lol. I guess the marketing worked tho. It's April and we're here talking about Madden and NFL rules.

Like others, I just wish they got the other penalties to work first. I wouldn't care if the number of penalties that were going to happen were a random predetermined number. While the game is loading I wouldn't care if the game decided I would get 8 penalties during the game as long as they were randomized and looked legit while playing. Something is better than nothing.

I mean, yeah, everyone is entitled to an opinion, but just feels like someone gets their jollies by giving threads single stars...

When this post was originally created, I stayed away because I could tell what the reaction was going to be (at least my reaction)...laughable. No this isn't big news and many are simply hungry for any news at all, but really at this stage of the game if we're talking up penalty corrections and implementation of new rules, then Madden truly is a lost cause.

You know what would have impressed me about this news? If it somehow indicated that there would be smarter penalties in the game. Penalties are a huge part of real football. It's a strategy for some players and a useful tool for others. A smart player would rather get a penalty than get beat on a play, and the more cunning players use the rules to their advantage and ride the thin lines between skill, happenstance, and opportunity. Will Madden ever scrape that level of depth? I don't think it's even on their radar.

Well, they've still barely added unnecessary roughness, and haven't added late hit, kicking, all that kind of stuff, so if you're going to add new rules put the ones that have been here for a long time in it to, please.

Late hit/Unnecessary roughness on the QB is in the game but we all get your point
